Post assessment
Nov. 9th, 2005 10:50 amThis morning's appt for the sleep clinic was (as I figured it would be) just the initial assessement by a sleep doctor.
Was a bit annoyed that although I was there on time for my 8:40 appt, and it was dead quiet there, the doc was 35 minutes late seeing me. I did hear him next door, and it turns out he was trying to do an assessment on an 85 year old woman with acute dementia, and it took him 40 minutes to get a basic assessment done. I didn't mention that I saw him at the check in window at 8:30 getting some water for his teapot, 10 minutes before my own appointment was scheduled. Nothing like getting off on the wrong foot.
Anyway, Dec 28 is my actual sleep test...called a Split Sleep test, because they hook you up to all these wires and gauges for 4 hours, then wake you up and put you on a CPAP machine, if warranted.
So, we'll see! Back at work and being productive!
