I can haz facehuggr!

[mdlbear]

Today I went in to Kaiser to get the results from last week's sleep apnea test. I passed. Or failed -- I'm not sure which result is which. Anyway, I tested firmly positive, so they sent me home with a facehugger. This one, on loan for a week, is the test version: it varies the pressure and figures out what I need. Then I go back in a week and get a permanent one programmed for whatever it figures out.

Stats: Recording time: 6.75 hrs. Apnea/hypopnea index: 23.5/hr; O₂ saturation: 91% average, 80% minimum; RERA (wakeup) index 4.5%. (I actually got only about 4.5 hrs sleep, so the number of events is actually higher.)

Getting a facehugger is not usually a GOOD thing, if your spaceship is called the Nostromo.

Ask your respiratory tech for a "Swift" mask. It's much easier to tolerate than the traditional face-huggers. Lighter, too.

You're going to be AMAZED at how good you feel in a few days.

Thanks for the tip. Looks interesting.
