Pictures from my trip to Rome



I just realized that I never posted any pictures from my trip to Rome sans braces. We had a wonderful time and we saw so many amazing things. We visited the Colosseum, Palantine Hill, The Vatican, Trevi Fountain (where I managed to miss the fountain when I threw my coin in, duh) and the Spanish Steps. I was so glad I got to go with my sister and my mom. That made the trip even more enjoyable. Maybe one of these days I'll go back and see everything I missed.

Sleep Study Done

I had a sleep study a few weeks ago. It wasn't too bad. I was able to sleep, with the help of a sleeping pill and a super-comfortable sleep number bed. I think my number is 85. Anyway, it was a little weird at first with all these wires attached all over my body and with a camera pointed right at me. The news from the study is that I have mild sleep apnea. I had 2 apneas and 14 hypopneas during the night. My pulse ox never went below 85%. Overall, the doc said it was mild and he didn't know if the insurance would cover my surgery with my sleep apnea being so mild. He will try though. He also said I was ready for surgery. He is out of town the whole month of June, so he said I could do it May or July. (I'm kinda scared now that it's getting closer to surgery.) I hate to do it in May because if I have any problems and he's out of town I might panic. I also have to wear some type of mouth piece for 1-2 months before the surgery to relax my jaw muscles. I don't have that yet, so that means July is looking more realistic.
