Not Dead Yet

Actually, I'm feeling better....

No bonus for you, watery tart, if you don't know the reference.  Time to see that one again!    Right, Tim?

Sleep study last night, which mainly consisted of a small oriental nurse (chinese/philipino, I believe) smearing me with electrolyte past and then taping sensors to my head, chest, and legs, then telling me to sleep on my back (which I hardly ever do.)   Wish I'd gotten a picture, but it's a common enough procedure.  Lie on your back, and follow the instruction so they can check the electrodes--move eyes up and down, side to side.  Oh, and there's bands around the stomach and chest, to monitor your breathing and a tube in your nose.

I should have trimmed my nose hair ahead of time.   That would have reduced the tickle factor.

Due to the Lenten caffiene fast (gave up caffeine for Lent) I fell asleep easily, and dozed in and out of uneasy dreams of being tied to a tree a la Odin.  One of the sensors is very close to the left eye, and I had some trouble opening and closing that eye.    Then, after waking up a couple times, they put me on the CPAP, which was more restful than I had anticipated.

Still, must get back into working out.  Had an enlightening discussion with Vytas about core strength and fighting.  Makes me want to DOWNWARD DOG! more.

And a thoughtful discussion about the desire for perfection, and how it can get in the way of a beginner.  Hmmm.

off to generate cirricula;

When do you find out the results of the sleep test?

They take a week or two

to interpret it; there were over 15 sensors on me for 8 hours, so that's a LOT of data. Of course, I think it's more just the scheduling of the doctor vs. the tech's time, so they fill the queue fairly full...but two weeks. Fine by me!
