About 2 weeks ago, Steve saw the sleep apnea doctor again. Based on his hospital study, he does not have classic sleep apnea but the doctor is concerned.
Because Steve slept better with an oxygen he suggested that Steve rent an oxygen machine for a month. Here is what it looks like.
I don't mind the looks - not great but so it goes, it is the sound that is driving me insane. I don't think the sound comes through on this clip but I can only try. It is about 15 seconds but if you listen carefully, you might hear the sound it makes. And it repeats the bu bup sound every 8 or so seconds. He has to wear a piece in his nose through which the oxygen flows.
Poor Steve. On Friday night I was exhausted and not in the mood to listen to it. I went to bed early but after about 5 minutes, I stormed into the living room and demanded he IMMEDIATELY clear the guest bedroom so I could sleep in there. All the empty boxes from the telescope are in there so there is very little room to move. He decided it was easier to go one night without than it was to clear the room. We also slept without it on Saturday night but there is no point in having it if he is not using it.
I guess we will try again tonight - I hope I am tired enough that the sound will simply be white noise and I manage to fall asleep quickly.
