We had a very intense 90 minute discussion covering all my health issues...she kept a copy of my sleep data from April 29...
She went over the 3 page sleep studies and interpreted them as best she could giving the limited information...she would have liked information concerning my body readings in regards to my position of sleeping and because of my situation she wanted to see data relating to arousals but there was none to see. She discussed data with us, she explained things to us, she carried on a conversation with us. This is the first time a doctor has gone over the sleep study results with us (limited as they were)...
She is also going to do the day study BUT only if I have had an adequate amount of REM sleep during the night...
She has two partners in the clinic and she is going to have them work with her on my case...
She already knows how involved I am in my therapy and trying to understand it and she is taking me on as a patient knowing that I want to continue to be involved and learn what I can about my treatment and options...
she did mention machines that deal with central and complex sleep apnea since there is a chance I might need a more elaborate type of machine. But no doors are closed, everything is open...
Sometimes when things are too good to be true, Mar, they happily end up being true anyway. So far I'm loving everything about this new doctor of yours. As Rested Gal might say in her characteristic wise, enchanting Southern way: "She sounds like a good 'un!"
Very nice turn of events!
