Welcome Charles, What a great story about your friend at your surgery!
I love this thread, and now a male with a sense of humor too.

Jk6 and Charles, welcome to the club. Sorry you had to become members. It sucks. Charles, wonderful article. Serious but with a touch of humor in the right place. The ladies here are fantastic if not "certifiable" (said with love and affection). I have learned sooooo much from the threads here on BC.org.

jk6 welcome, you will fit in nicely
wonder what happens if someone comes and doesn't fit....we will scare them I assume, lol
Ducky, you and those damn shoes, can't you share anything....
Charles, I admit I didn't read it and if you respresent her get the money up front who knows whether she will come back or not with the hooker shoes and red things, she could end of anywhere.
Blizzard, omg, so sick of snow....can you send us a pix....
inlaws don't have them anymore, cause don't have a husband, been there done that...
getting read to watch the oscars, Ducky and I are proud to say that Silver Linings Playbook was made in our neighborhood....(so was Lovely Bones) they make alot in Philly but not so many in Delaware County

Dear Esther,
The report says that without CPAP you have severely disturbed sleep (from obstructive sleep apnea and hypo-apnea) because the breathing pauses make your blood oxygen level drop too low. Your breathing stopped 53.5 times per hour without CPAP. Your blood oxygen level dropped as low as 79% and averaged about 92% (normal is at least 95%).
With CPAP your breathing pauses improved to mild sleep apnea. Your pauses were “central apnea” which means you stopped breathing completely for at least 10 seconds.
As I mentioned in my PM to u, I am not a OSA expert, but can usually piece together a picture from medical reports. I just sent you a PM with details about some of your specific scores, but still need to research a few (I have a pediatric hematology paper due for grad school this Weds).
I really really think you need to speak to the physician or RT about your settings. Ask them about your central apnea and how that affects your settings.
Some other suggestions: Keep your head elevated with a few pillows, keep your room as dark as possible and be an absolute Nazi about making sure people, pets, outside noises, ringing phones and any other annoying sleep disturbers leave you TF alone. You need a really peaceful place to get your rest.

Never mind Princess Kantalope....What we don't know won't hurt us.... Ha, ha! Esther, I hope the suggestions really help you....

MMMMmmmm .... grannydukes writes "Serious Welcome Charles,Charlie or Chuck.In Italian it Colligero..."
I thank you, granny, for the warm welcome. I will point out that my name is "Charles," (given that my wife's name is Diana), but you can also call me "Karl," since I was born and raised in Germany. The rest of them? Nooooo... "Charlie" sounds like the suburban neighbor from whom one might borrow a lawn mower. "Chuck?" He sounds like a guy whose favorite pastime is smashing beer cans into his forehead. I'll stick with "Charles."0 -
Camille..DID YOU SEE MY EFFIN SHOES ON THERE.......

ok im back.my fav.GS just called and you know i cannot do 2 things at once.

Charles, we have something in common....My mother was German. She became a war bride and married a Scot. I was born in Germany myself but moved to Scotland when I was about 9 months. My mother's family is from Cologne....where are you from????

Granny...put the Granny specs on......he was born and raised in Germany....lol...
You finished that book yet ???? 👹0 -
OK Granny's got u'r shoes I dare u to go get them.
And I like Charles--it's one of those names that shouldn't be shortened--it stands alone.And I don't think of Prince Charles cuz i don't care for him. So Charles it is. And an attorney ha--plenty of attorney jokes as u know but I will refrain for now. BTW how do u feel for the most part?

Shellshine, thank you for the explanation. I will be talking to my RT tomorrow. Good luck on your paper! Off to bed 4 am comes early.

Morning all! See, I changed it! I used to say "Girls"... but now I'll include "Charles"..
So Charles... I wish you were a Vet! Something we could use around here.... or maybe even an Oncologist.... Ha! Yes, "Charles" does sound intelligent... more so than Chuck... We will show you respect.... I mean as much as we can....
And yes, how are YOU doing? I didn't ever imagine a diagnosis of IDC in a man... I just only thought of that in woman, because of milk-ducts for nursing...... Also the hormone therapy... Tamoxifen?.... Here I wish you were a Pharmacist... I tried the Tamoxifen for 1 1/2 years... and for some reason, lost my hearing... just be careful with that one. It's hard to get anyone to believe, like PC's, Oncologists, or even Otolaryngologists.... Although ONE hearing Doc did say, yes, it was possible, believing that Tamoxifen IS like a chemo drug, and it is usually hell on hair... or tiny hair follicles in your inner ear. Whatever.... mine is gone.
You really are an anomoly, right? Ha! Geesh, we all sound like we would take care of you... but just interesting with your diagnosis. If you were a Vet, you would be asked about "hot-spots" on my little dog...
I just know that Lawyers must be super in-tuitive.. ... Do we have to watch what we say now??? Glad to have you with us...Mr. Charles.
Now Granny K, You were on a date??? Bet not! With WHO? That's just your excuse, because you think we will all buy it! It was a DAY date? What the hell???? Did you go to the mall or somewhere? Or did you go neck in some movie theatre??? I just hope you really were! So you read that book.... 40 shades of whatever and got a date? You go girl! Did you look at the pics I referred you to? It probably isn't an infection on your gum.... Just something else wierd like a cyst or some other un-godly thing.... But I'm glad you are going to ask about it...
Ducky.... couldn't see any shoes on those gals... just lots of long legs, and boobs....and oh that HAIR.... Man those women must spend a fortune on extensions and falls! If I had even HALF the hair that they do, I would be happy!
Camille! You know attorney jokes? Oh don't get us in trouble....! Let HIM tell the first one... And do you guys remember that movie "Over-board" with Goldie Hawn? Remember when she was looking in the mirror, after being called a "tramp" and she said "I am NOT a tramp" with this sorrowful look on her face? That movie just cracked me up!!! Ha, ha!
We have about 12 inches of snow here.... It is so deep Lacee cannot walk through it.... So I am out there at 3:30 trying to shovel 1/2 of those 12 inches, so she can find a place to walk! Her little legs are only about 4 inches long... (almost)... She sleeps out in her dog-house, but comes in when she thinks it is TIME for me to wake up and take care of her... damn kid.... So I'm brushing her, taking care of her Hot Spots, and then we went out to shovel..... I kept ASKing her, "Well where do you WANT to go?" So she now has several places from whenst she has to "go"..... Then we come in and she gets her slice of roast beef & turkey, and 2 treats... Ha, ha! No.... she is not spoiled....
Okay, better go do SOMEthing useful, like put my face on before DH gets up.... I just HATE to hear him scream early in the mornings!!

Morning all!
Today I see the oncologist to find out about chemo treatment. Didn't sleep well last night, woke up early and I could honestly go back to sleep. I really so tired lately even though I've not had any treatment so to speak.
My friend Judy is coming with me. We're doing lunch after my appointment. Her daughter lives in London and got married on Friday. She went for the wedding. I'm glad she's home becuase I've missed her a lot.
Going to see if the oncologist is willing to meet with my daughter when she comes to take care of me. She used to be an EMT in the Air Force. Has worked on numerous departments @ Lakeland AFB, did a tour in Iraq and lucky for me her last assignment before she left was the cancer unit. The surgical oncologist was very nice and after he examined me and explained the treatment spent 25 minutes on speaker phone with my daughter. She'll get to meet him in person once the drains come out since she'll still be here. I'm sure she'll have questions for the oncologist.
I don't want to post in incorect place but is here a place where you just chat? It's nice to have people who know what you're going through not to say that others are not supportive.
I may just set my alarm and try to go back to sleep. I could really sleep 2 hours before I had to get ready.
Have a nice day all!
