Sleep Apnea- the not so silent killer Part 2, Doom and Gloom

Now the fun part, off to the Sleep Disorders Clinic...
I'll cut to the chase, got there and was told to go into my room and change into my pyjamas (which I purchased the day before, not a jammy person) and wait. That was all cool until the nurse came in pushing a trolley with some computer gadget and about 50 wires on it. Now don't get me wrong, I love nurses, especially in uniform, but when she started placing all these wires over my body I got nervous and it wasn't that good nervous either. When she finished I had wires plugged onto me from my toes to the top of my head. That was when I started to feel inhuman and besides that how was I going to sleep with all this. Never the less I got some sleep and was out of there by 6am.
My follow up with the doctor completely shocked me to say the least. Results showed that I stopped breathing 65 times per hour, I woke up 31 times per hour and the oxygen level in my brain dropped to 82% (normal healthy person 92%). My thought was how am I still alive!
Now the doctor suggested another study with a breathing machine, didn't really know what it was but I said ok, why not, if it will help me to stop snoring.
So, I'm back at the clinic, with my still new jammies (worn once before) and back in the room. The same wires got connected but then something else...a mask with a tube connected to a machine. Any feelings about my humanity disappeared right then, and I had to sleep with this thing on my face...oohh the pain!!! But after composing myself and finding that little bit of macho left in me I said to myself "I'm here, I've paid for it, so shut up and go through it!" The nurse turned on the contraption and instant oxygen came through my nose and mouth, a bit rough but stick with it I thought. Needless to say I fell asleep (I think they put something in the air-con system, cause as soon as you enter the room you feel like sleeping...Conspiracy Theory or what? perhaps just paranoia), anyway at midnight I woke up cause I couldn't breath, the machine malfunctioned and was blowing oxygen a million miles a second down my wind pipe, just as I ripped the mask off the nurse ran in, I didn't know what was going on! She had to change the machine cause she couldn't re calibrate it or something. I fell asleep again somehow but somewhat pissed off. At 4am the machine went Berko again, the nurse runs in apologising but by the I had had enough. I said "that's it, I'm going home", to my surprise she replied "that's ok, most people are out of here by midnight", Idiot I thought to myself.
Next post the plot thickens with my new test results...
