I received some bad news from my Pulmonologist. The results from my second nocturnal Pule Ox test came in; my pulse ox was dropping to 66 for a majority of the test. He told me that it is very likely I will require a CPAP machine. A CPAP test will be scheduled as soon as it clears through my insurance.

The reason I am scared is because I lost my father while he was on a CPAP machine. This has left me very shaken as his death still hits close to home. I find myself completely unable to focus.

It may take me a day or two to get back on track with novel prep.
