In KC again

Hi everybody,

Kind of a mixed week, on the down side we are in KC again to say good-bye to a member of our family. My DD's Father-in-law passed on Thursday, he was a very much loved member of our extended family and we will miss him. He had been sick for a long time, and we all know he is in a much better place.

On the up side, I am ready to take DOT physical. Went to St. John's medical supply on Friday and got my new BPAP, it is DOT acceptable. I did find out that DOT requires me to have one that is downloadable, meaning I have to report to a facility that will record the use of my machine, have to use a minimum of 4 hours at a time, and must be used everyday of the month.

Hopefully will start school a week from this coming Monday. Then should be out on the road by the end of this year or the first of the year at least. Of course this is a good time of the year to start driving, the turn over for drivers is pretty high because of the Holidays and winter driving. Guess you can call me crazy, could have waited for Spring, but where's the challeng in that.

Love you all and have been reading, just not a lot of time to post, I'm guilty of reading and running lately. I hear somebody moving around upstairs so guess I'll make myself available to help with the kids.

Have a good Sunday, will keep you all posted on my progress.

LOTS AND LOTS OF HUGS

Hi Jeanie  good to hear from you , so so sorry about your DD father in law. is alway hard to lose them but the good thing about being aChristian , and hopefully he was. is that you will see them again....
good for you on the pap mac....mine and Joes are C paps but they both have the readable cards in them and we have to see our sleep clinic doctor once in a while and take the card in to them ....any sleep clinic can read them for you. do they require that they send DOT the results of the card?

You should send Debbie D or Jo a private message and meet up with them today or tomorrow. I know they would love to meet you.

love and hugs ....dont forget the 19th....

Jan~Yes who-ever downloads my info has to send it to DOT. I think I also have to have a printed version in my possesion, in case of accident or just getting pulled in at a weigh station for them to check me out.

I had no idea that they had gotten so technical with the SA machines, but think it's a good idea, at least they can keep track of the use of the machine.

I thought about sending Deb and Jo a PM, but am here with my middle son and 4 of his kids, we are so tied up, won't have time for much more than the services this afternoon and then have to get back home, he has to work in the morning and since this was my week end to dispatch, I need to be home to take the phones tonight and possibly tomorrow night.

Love you, hope to see you Friday night.
