Sleep Study for G


Tomorrow night G will got for a sleep study. I have noticed he has sleep
apnea, and he finally admitted he can't sleep on his back, probably because
he can't breathe.

He has to check in by 9:15 PM, and will be done in the morning between 5:30
and 6:30. Since he might need some help getting into the bed, or if he
has to go to the bathroom, they asked if someone could stay, so I will
be sleeping there also. Might as well if I have to get up at such
an awful hour to go pick him up.

Last Wed. we had blood drawn to check his hemoglobin level, which is when
we found out from the primary care nurse, that he should have received
2 units of blood when he was in the hospital a few weeks ago, but they
only gave him 1. That explains why he is still feeling tired. His hemoglobin
level is coming back up, but it will take some time.

He has lots going on the next few weeks, will see the surgeon on Sept. 1
to see what he can do...this is NOT the VA surgeon.

G went to the memorial service with me, and afterwards he and my 2
brothers went to dinner at a nice restaurant, and he walked all the way from the car parked at the curb, 2 spaces down, into the restaurant. Of course he had to hold onto my hand, and, well, the side of the building, but he did it.

And, so life goes. I am reminded to enjoy each day, each outing.
