Following up on 'The nose and the cat are both snoring, ngoooo,' I became a mummy.

I wrote about it the other day.
The story about my husband taking his futon and leaving for the next room.
The story of that night, where only the sound of the sliding door slamming shut echoed.

Ever since then, I've been really curious.
About the true identity of the 'ngoooo'.

That said, a snoring clinic, you know.
It's embarrassing.
I'm a woman, after all.

'Excuse me, my snoring is so loud that my husband moved to the next room.'
Am I supposed to say that? At the reception desk?

No way.

So, I was worried.
While worrying, I was looking at Instagram.
Then, the Instagram gods saw right through everything.

They kept popping up, one after another.
'15 minutes in your spare time!!'
'Just cut it and cure your snoring!'
'Campaign currently underway🎁'

……Ugh, that's scary.

15 minutes, really.
That's faster than stopping by a convenience store.
Is my throat really something to be treated so lightly?

But, on the other hand.
The feeling of 'Maybe I have no choice but to do it' started to emerge.
My husband is in the next room, after all.

At that moment, I happened to come across a certain doctor's website.
Dr. Oba from Keiyu Ginza Clinic.

The website is, anyway, long.
Papers, academic society names, the state of snoring around the world.
A doctor who even wrote a book on snoring ('Graduating from Snoring Girl').

At the very beginning, it was written like this.

……Hmm?

In other words, it's saying, get tested before you cut.
It's not 'cut in 15 minutes'.
It's starting with a test, with the premise of not cutting.

This is it, I thought.

I have also had a cerebral hemorrhage.
That's why I'm sensitive to the word 'cut'.

Because if something happened, it would be a disaster.
It really would be a disaster.

A casual 15-minute session? No, that's not for me.
I wanted a doctor who would listen to me properly,
while visiting the clinic under insurance coverage.
I wanted peace of mind.

I made an appointment.
I prepared myself, just a little.

First, a simple test at home.
Put something on your finger and sleep for one night.
Send that to the doctor and have them look at the results.

The doctor said one thing:
'Let's try to proceed without surgery if possible.'

...This person is a good person.

By the way, at this point, I had already confessed to my husband.
'I went to the snoring clinic.'
My husband said,
'Huh.'

That's it. Indifferent.

Well, he's the one who took his futon and left, so that makes sense.

And finally, the full-scale overnight test.
This was something else.

Sensor attachment started at 19:45.
The time when the evening drinkers are at their best.
And there I was, tied up with sensors.

EEG, EOG, chin EMG, flow sensor, snoring microphone, respiratory effort sensor, ECG, blood oxygen saturation, EMG...
I was attached to a surprising number of sensors.

Wrapped in a net,
I looked like a mummy.

And the instructions said this:
'Please do not nap before the test.'

...No, I'm here for the test.
I'm here to sleep.
And yet, they tell me not to sleep.

Which is it?

So, time to go to sleep.
I couldn't sleep.
The sensors were heavy.
The wiring was bothersome.
If I turned over, something would pull.

I woke up twice in the middle of it.
In the darkness,
...Oh, right, I'm a mummy.
I remember.

And then.
I was woken up before 5 o'clock.
"The examination is finished."
...I'm sleepy.

"Discharge is available anytime until 6:30"
it said on the paper.
The grandiosity of the word 'discharge'.
I only stayed one night, though.

The results will be discussed with the doctor at a later date.
I will slowly walk the path of avoiding surgery as much as possible.

The temptation of 'in 15 minutes' that flows through Instagram.
I think that probably suits someone.
But for me, the doctor who writes long-form website content was the right fit.

For a cautious person, a cautious doctor.
That's all.

Today's lesson.
Women troubled by snoring can choose 'one night' over '15 minutes'.

Everything will work out.
