Surprise!

Well, a few years ago, I went in for back surgery. The tech could not get the tube down my throat. When he did, I was told I'd stopped breathing. The surgeon decided to send me home. I went to my primary care and he sent me for the sleep test saying I probably had a narrow passageway. I went to my sleep test and as I said surprise because I had no idea. I was given a machine and told to use it. I have ever since.
