I have been married 30 years....ALWAYS remember....she is right.....and the boss. Trust me.

 

Congrats BD!
I had to wait 46 years to find the right one. Met her thirteen years ago, married ten years ago and still happy. Was my second marriage and her third. She went thru a lot of sh** with me, we left Germany 2009, she was with me in the truck for 4.5 years (she never was in a truck before), a few years f****** cold Canada and now we're here in the States 5 years celebrating the 4th and applying for citizenship.
Sometimes it takes a bit longer to find the right one

 

Man, BD69er's recent announcement has all but killed this thread!

 

Maybe the new Fe On Say has already implemented some new rules. No more message boards for you!!!!


LOL!!

 

Shellshocked.
We are all seeking professional advice before we continue with this thread.

 

Well, let's see if I can finish off the thread

Went in for my doctor visit "compliance" review yesterday. After testing almost 3 mos ago, it was determined I have "mild" sleep apnea.

With an AHI of 9, I tried to fight the inevitable APAP, however, I lost the battle. Too much liability for these doctors now when it comes to commercial truck driver certification.

With an AHI of 9, which as I said is considered "mild", my insurance company wouldn't even pay for my APAP, they consider an AHI of 15 the starting threshold. So, I had to pay for everything out of pocket.

After completing 10 nights of APAP usage, I had enough data available to demonstrate "compliance" for my doctor and he extended my medical card for one year.

This has been a real eye opener for me and quite a process on many levels that I don't have time to go into at this point. Needless to say, I don't like change. The introduction of a mask onto my face blowing air into my mouth at 5 to 10 cfm, was not easy. I adjusted and it's not really that big of a deal.

Whether it has the ultimate effect of making me feel better is too early to say. Because I really didn't feel bad before this LOL.

I was very pleased though with a couple of other vitals during my doctor visit yesterday. I was down 50.6 lbs from just 12 weeks ago and my blood pressure was 120/80. I usually experience "white coat" syndrome when I go in to see the doctor, so, the b.p. # made me pretty happy

 

It seems like that machine is very common anymore and you’re right these doctors do not want the liability. Can’t blame them either.
