Phobe,

It was the most frightening thing that has ever happened to me
that includes 20 years as a RN in acute care.

I really think that it was harder on my husband, son and especially my daughter who found me unconscious and 'green'

Last week I was asleep on the couch at 7:30am and my daughter was getting ready for school (I'm a light sleeper and she usually wakes me up)

She looked at me and thouht my color was bad again (but not as bad as before)
She called my name and I didn't wake up, so she shook me and called me.

I woke up suddenly with a long gasp and she broke into tears recalling the time I didn't wake up and she had to call the paramedics, etc

I started crying also, feeling so badly for what she has gone through with me.

That day my pulmonologist had me go to the ER to get a chest X-Ray and blood work. I will see him tomorrow in the office. The docs say I need a sleep study. When I was in the hospital the resp therapist told me I needed one also. When I would fall asleep the alarms would go off unless I was getting oxygen.

So, yes I'm scared, but not as scared as my family. I just don't want to get brain damage if my oxygen levels get low for too long. I have lost enough brain cells having tos.

Thank for asking Phoebe.
