Hi,

I drove 30 miles and back to see my sleep doctor (60 miles).
(Why are my docs so far away? I live in a suburban metropolis. )

He was very nice.
He probably spent 25-30 mins with me.

I love that he did not have a 1-10 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) question for me.

He asked me how Alert I was:
How is your alertness?
~good
~fair
~poor

I said poor. He asked a second question using the same scale. I am going to try to find a reason to use that scale at work tomorrow because it is wonderful. And if I use it, I will remember it.

I told him my anxiety is much worse than my depression.
He remarked that the anxiety explains why I was contained/ or something I forget.
I think he noticed that I was freaked out but trying to hold everything together.
(I got lost in the parking garage and needed to call his staff for directions to the office from the garage . . . do not think he knew that.)
