DD goes to a pulmonary doctor

I am having surgery early next year and part of this process is needing clearance from a pulmonologist. I finally had my appointment today.

My chest X-rays looked great! (almost 3 packs a day... lungs look good? *wipes brow*)

I did great on the breathing test! He was actually surprised to hear that I was ever a smoker. :D Woo hoo!

I have sleep apnea (boooooo)

This is a good and a bad thing.

Bad because it is sleep apnea but good because it is one more justification toward getting the surgery. :D

I go for sleep study in mid November. I am not looking forward to that because I probably won't sleep.

What beautiful Lungs you have !

man, our bodies are so amazing to recover from damage.

 

Sleep apnea gets  fixed ? and you get to actually SLEEP ?  how novel !

 

Good luck with all the rest of the poking and prodding.

 

Make sure Witch Doctors stay clear of your Funny Bone, it don't need no fixing.

I'm so glad that your lungs got a clean bill of health! It would be wonderful if they could fix the sleep apnea; I bet that makes you feel tired and you don't even realize it.

*wipes brow* indeed, good news my friend. x

 

The rest will do what it does and hopefully go towards them fixing you, so a good end game but some rubbish to get done and dusted first. Sorry for the bad, pleased it might be fixable at the end. x

Ya, they want me to go for a sleep study too to see if I have sleep apnea. I am not looking forward to a sleep study at all. Sleeping in a strange room, in a strange bed with a bunch of strangers watching me?? I'm looking forward to my carpel tunnel surgery and vasectomy more than that.

Any questions about sleep apnea and sleep studies, I'm your girl! (Well, I've only been to two sleep studies and been on the machine for just over a month, but I can try to help!)

 

So happy to hear your lungs are all clear. :)

Good Luck DD - sounds like things are going in the right direction. Hope they just continue that way for you and keep getting better and better until you can sleep clear through the night :)
