Step two down!!

I went to my Internal medicine doctor this afterrnoon after going to the info session at OHSU last night. He thinks I do have sleep apnea and has made an appointment for me at the sleep center here. I gave him the letter from OHSU, asking for a letter and all the different blood work they need. He said he'd be happy to write the letter and said I'd had a lot of the blood work recently, but then sent me down to the lab for the last few necessary tests!! Now I just need to have medical records sent from my chiro, ortho, and my allergist, and I'm ready to rock and roll. Wow - from down in the dumps to on top of the world in the matter of one day! I'm very happy. Linda

Linda, Congratulations!! So glad things are finally going forward for you!

Linda, sleep apnea...I drove off the road in my new car last July, almost hit a telephone pole! I fight that demon every single day!! Take care, Jackie

Great for you Linda; I'm so happy for you. Darla

You are ready to rock and roll. Sometimes offices can take their time with the medical records so in the past I have offered to come in and pick them up personally. In fact, I did that with with my weight loss surgery, just kept collecting all the medical records and then took them up to Portland personally. I just wanted to make sure everything was there with nothing left out. Keep up the good work. You're almost there! Kathy

Great news Linda! Keep up the great work, and you'll be there in no time at all!! Bil

Thanks all. I'm going to fax my forms in today. My doc was pulling things together as I left, so I think they will be fairly quick to get everything up to OHSU. I'll take the release to my orthopedist when I go over to the hospital to see Darla and Jennifer tomorrow. I need a chiropractor appointment, especially after that drive to Portland , so I'll take that form to him, and I should get an allergy injection tomorrow, so I can give them the form and get my asthma records sent up. I'm on a mission now! I told my doctor about our on-line group yesterday and how we all got together for breakfast. He started laughing about how technology brings people so close, but thought it was just wonderful! Linda

Wow, everything is just falling into place! Isn't this exciting! I hope it keeps going this way for you. You deserve to finally have your surgery. Good luck!
