Very relieved to hear from you DoriC and I'm super happy that Mike and you seemed to have weathered the storm and the tough part with no power.

Welcome Back... glad to hear you survived Sandy!




you've got me thinking about getting some type of a battery back-up system for emergencies now.

So glad to know that you are safe. Mile is one lucky man!

I guess I spoke too soon! Mike's AHI was 12.8 last night, lots of CAs and disturbed sleep, dreaming of death, etc.! His BP and Pulse are a little elevated. I'm hoping it's all the aftermath of the hurricane and sleeping without his machine, but I just sent Pugsy the report, hope she'll come back with and "alien" diagnosis!!

Thank you all again for the affection you've shown me, you'll never know how much it means to me during this stressful time. I've had 2 friends without power come over this morning for hot coffee, shower and do some laundry. What I'm receiving from all of you is helping me to pay it forward. So you see, we're all in this together.

It is good to see you safe Dori!
I am sure Mike's issues are the stress of going through a hurricane. It will settle down in time.

Sending good thoughts your way, Dori & Mike...

For anyone wondering about Mike's report from last night. Lots of centrals and some unknowns during an episode of big leak. Pretty much points to just a crappy night's sleep. Probably lots of tossing and turning because the leak is all over the place as well as predominately centrals which Mike doesn't normally have in these numbers.
I suspect the stress of all that has happened has bothered him more than he might realize. Probably will take a few days to settle down in his normal routine. The added stress of sleeping without the O2 and his machine for a few nights is going to take its toll and probably going to need a bit of "getting back to the old routine" for things to settle down.

Pugsy, thank you for updating us all on Mike's condition. As mentioned, Mike may need a few days to relax after the ordeal. Hope to get an update from Dori in the few days time.

Well, it's only the second night but much better! Slept 9hrs, AHI=2.8, AI=0.3, HI=1.2, CA=1.3, Leaks=32 lpm@95%, not perfect but acceptable and he's looking and feeling much better today. So another check mark in Pugsy's column!!
