Post If it isn't one thing, it's another 
Did I tell you I had to have chest x-ray repeated last week?  Had a seizure the morning after the sleep test(test on Monday the 3rd), fell, bruised some ribs and scraped the arm.  Got the chest x-ray.  Then, on Friday the 7th, I got an email from my doctor.  They needed to repeat the x-ray.  all he said was "we need to repeat the x-ray. no urgency."

Had the repeat x-ray Monday after 3 days of sweating and the result came back the next day.  All is normal.  Spot or whatever is on a rib not the lung.  He said these things are often called "bone islands" and are always benign, but wants it repeated in about 4 months.

The sleep study I had without CPAP showed 204 OSA. 1 central, and one mixed.  I don't know the results of the study with the CPAP.  I was to find out Monday( and probably will.)

Now this development from the sleep doctor.  Sheesh!  The following (#1)hit my in box today, Friday the 14th.  Had I checked my mail then, I would have been able to call and ask about.  Since I didn't get it soon enough, I sent a reply(#2)  I'm sure he was aiming for the sleep tech. BD are the doctor's initials, danka is thanks.  ASV is a machine.  I wouldn't wish health problems on anyone.

Many of you are in much leakier boats and I have nothing but respect for each of you.

Bill,
Did you mean to send this to me?
My appointment with you is Monday the 17th at 1 PM.  I will call your office Monday morning to see if you still want to see me that day?
I have the pressure up to 16/12.

Gosh, nothing like getting confusing messages from a doc's office on a Friday!!
Call them first thing on Monday, if you can.

And wow, so sorry for all you went through, with the seizure, fall, x-ray and all.  I'm glad the results were pretty good.  
You know, considering all this, I think you deserve some R&R and pampering.  Hope you enjoy your weekend, kiddo.


Linda
