Hi Angel! My advice to you is to BUG THE HECK OUT OF THEM! Sometimes, it seems that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so to speak. Don't take anymore postponements as an answer. I'd tell them you want a bottom line by Friday, or something to that effect. April was 4 months ago - you should be well on your way by now. That's just bad communication between everyone involved (particularly with the meds and the side effects you didn't know about!) Good luck!!!!!

Hi Angel Wow! For my sleep study, I went there for one night to sleep... cannot sleep good but sleep enough to monitor my sleeping then next week I got Cpap machine to use it. I do not have to go back to use Cpap machine for sleep study. I am lucky but this tuesday I will get clearence note from my pulmonary dr to say okay for this surgery after asking me about my cpap machine since I started it last August 4th. I will be out of patience if I were in your shoe!!!!!! Hope it will get over so you can move ahead!!!!! Kathy K
