On a different note
(I promise, more about.my great adventures soon!)
My red blood cell count dropped after being put on oxygen, but very little. At the end of June, I did another overnight oximetry test. Got the results yesterday.
I was on 2 LPM of O2, but the oximeter showed that every time I entered REM sleep, my O2 saturation dropped to under 90%, sometimes as low as 79%! I spent 112 minutes of the night at 88%.
Those are not good results.
My delightful sleepologist had me raise my O2 to 3 LPM.
Last night was amazing. I dont remember waking up once. I remeber dreaming! And, I was actually woken up by my alarm, instead of getting up 20 minutes before.
I'm not full of energy or anything else that dramatic, but i wasnt yawning i the shower, i wasnt tired during the day, and I did seem somewhat more clear headed.
This. Is. Awesome!
