Light at the end of my Tunnel

i'm just so excited by the way thing have changed lately i had to share it 1.) my sleep apnea has been scaring me and when i talked to the sleep doc before doing the test he was real nasty and told me it was in my head yadda yadda yadda and basicaly implied that i just wanted the dx of sleep apnea in order to get the surgery well anyway i finially got the sleep test done and only managed to sleep 3 hours while i was there but in those 3 hrs i stopped breathing an average of 40 time per hour so atleast i now know it's NOT *in my head* i got to go back and be set up with the cpap machine 2.) I found i am eligible for medicare as of june 1st i was soooooooooo afraid that it was going to yet again mess up haveing the surgery and here to find out it's was a blessing in disguise now i won't have to wait the 8 months for medicaid approval medicare is now my primary and doewsn't require the wait *YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* and then i talked to my caseworker and found i get to keep medicaid aswell to help will all the medical expenses THANK YOU GOD!!! 3.) i found a psch doc for the eval so will be able to get that done now This is deffinalty a HIGH day NOW to get the 50-75 lbs off so i can have the surgery is the only main thing i have to worry about and only thing standing in my way now WISH ME LUCK PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i deffinalty need it Thanks i jusst needed to share with you all it's so nice to share with everyone here and to hears what you all have to say

Dear Autumn, I am so happy that some things have been working out in your favor...this process can be so discouraging, and devastating. I try to remember that everything of value requires hard work, or patience, or both! If getting this surgery was very easy, we might not be so dedicated to living the correct life afterward. I really value where "I am" in the process today as opposed to just 6 months ago...so hang in there. Good luck! Liz Hillsboro

If getting this surgery was very easy, we might not be so dedicated to living the correct life afterward. Hmm Liz.. It seems I just heard those words somewhere myself.!!! It is so true. All this time I have been grumbling about it taking so long to jump through all the hoops, now I am so greatfull I had this experience. I am so sure it is what I want, and ready to do whatever it takes to make it work for me. Of course God will be guiding me every step of the way. Love ya Miss Liz, Laura

ty both for your encouragement and i agree with you both i know i am going threw all this red tape for a reason sometimes the reason seem black and out of site but that when i gotta push harder to see it i'm so close to having the surgery now with no more road blocks hopefully the rest of the journy will be smooth whiteriver rafting ( nothings ever smooth sailing but make make the bumps easier to take) hope my analygy made sense lol
