Sleep apneia low Gobulin, high Iron and 6 nights in a row for Dove

Wow, another sleep study to do...
There was not enough sleep during the other one. I misunderstood the technician. I do have sleep apnea.
It is mild when a person stops breathing 5x average per hour, moderate when a person stops breathing up to 15 times average per hour...

I stopped breathing 16 times average per hour.

CPAP machine is a must! So another sleep study with CPAP on all night and the technician will calibrate it as I sleep. This explains a lot. Poor old girl just gets no good rest and runs through the night on very low oxygen.
The results on the Iron test were presented today as well. Low iron is a common issue with restless leg well mine is over the top of high. Toxic so I have to get a follow up perhaps with a hematology doc. A course of chelation therapy might be an issue don't really know yet. All this I learned today.
Looked it up a bit. May be due to foods or a congenital thing. I never have had transfusions.

The genetic heritage is really showing face now getting close to 49. One more week. Wow one more year and I will be 50. 50 with a 13year old and a 10 year old! 55 when Dove is 18 and 58 when Dash is 18.

Last Week I got to see the report on the blood work the allergy doc did. I have the follow up on Wednesday afternoon. It seems that I have very low globulin what I understand to be an antibody deficiency. Explains a lot about the infections in the upper respiratory. I'll learn more later.

So tired of the medical stuff and so grateful for insurance. The co-pays are being met at the cost of a holiday and that is a loss but a small one when the country as a whole is considered I am living the high life to be sure. I have decided to grow tomato and radish and ease off on other things. Collect seeds off of the spinach and leek,kale etc for the summer. In the fall the garden will continue in full force. Kids will be out of school and so the scrap for the chickens should last a few more weeks. It is just too hot at 115 to do the work. I matter more and then also the idea of camping comes more easily done.

Dove is in her 6th night in her room. I spend a good amount of time one on one with the kids right now so blog is quiet. There are many sweet silent hours in the day to relax and just rest. Just spending those hours under the wing in the shelter enjoying the company. The surgery on my mouth is almost 2 weeks out now and the pain is now easing.

Goodness!
Well...goodness shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell ...

With the CPAP machine I imagine this girl will be back to her old energetic self in a few weeks time.
I am so tired all the time.
Happy just real tired.
Forced rest hahaha.  don't mean to ignore ya all
