It wasn't uncomfortable but, during sleep, one part of the cable would come off, and later the tube from my nostrils came off, and so forth. Other than that I guessed my snoring took centre stage throughout the night. The night staff outside would have been laughing at the noise though they did not show it wen I awoke early the following day.
A week passed before I was called by the specialist when the report was ready. The first words that greeted me was, "I've never come across any patient with such a very severe OSA! In fact, yours was the worst!" Funny, that revelation didn't surprise me.
After some explanation which was not really helpful the specialist said that the same technician, who earlier strapped me up, would come over to my home and let me try on the CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure) for a week.
Well, he did come, and after explaining how the machine works, and fits over my face, he guaranteed that the next morning I would wake up feeling fresh like I've never experience it before. Now that really excited me!
Little did I realise that the first night was the beginning of daily frustration that words cannot express..
to be continued.. (it's getting late..)
