I had another dr. appointments with Simon Stone, the ENT guy. He explained the results of my last home sleep study to me. I have both apnea problems and very low oxygen when I sleep. The insurance company wouldn't authorize a sleep study in the lab. The next step was to put me on a CPAP machine and have follow ups until I am adjusted properly. He said that this just takes a little longer.
The insurance company has several places in the state that they have approved for one to get the equipment. Problem - they are all at least 3 hours away. His nurse helper started calling and the insurance company finally agreed that I could use the place in Roosevelt or the one in Vernal because we are so rural.
My paperwork has been sent to the place in Roosevelt. They will call and set up an appointment to give me a machine and show me how to use it. Then I will have a follow up with Dr. Stone in 5-6 weeks to evaluate the progress.
It is driving me a little crazy with all of the waiting. I think I could be further along in the process without all the waiting.
I am still waiting on the bid for the seamless gutters, too.
On the fun, good side, Cassy brought two of her roommates out today to see Upper Stillwater Dam. Beth made a wonderful lunch that we enjoyed together. It was so much fun having them here. Meg came up so it was all of us together - great times!
This picture is right before they left!
