July 2, Psychiatrist suggests a sleep study due to depression.

July 20, Do sleep study "earlier" because of cancellation.

Sept. 10, Sleep study follow-up with Dr. who says I'm waking myself up an average of 84 times an hour!!!

Sept. 14, See DME (Preferred DME would have needed to wait until the end of September.)

Glad I didn't kill myself waiting for treatment.

I feel privileged. I had my study on Friday night and they were calling me on the following Tuesday wanting to get me set up. Go my cpap on Wednesday. Don't know if I was lucky or just that bad off. DME told me that I was at the "stroke level" and it was urgent that I get set up ASAP. It has been two weeks tomorrow. I have been feeling pretty good in the mornings. Averaging 7 hours a night on the machine.
