"In My Opinion . . ."
Dec. 13, 2000
Though I doubt that anyone out there really cares about my sleep apnea problems, I have one addendum to my previous essay on the subject. I was mistaken about the interpretation of the sleep study done at the hospital. My doctor finally called today and corrected me when I said that they had recorded 112 breathing stoppages during the night. He said, "Oh, no. It isn't 112 a night that you stop breathing and disturb your sleep; it's 112 times AN HOUR."
Well, I guess that explains why my month and a half on my little cpap machine is nothing short of a miracle. I am finally well-rested! Enough said.
