Re: newbie and totally lost

Thanks everyone, I am sure I will be back here asking for advice after my appointment next week. I talked to my wife about all of this and she was very happy that I was addressing my apnea. It is funny though - since I have never really talked about (or thought about) any of this before she is a lit...
