Thanks Guest

deerslayer - I hardly recognize you anymore! Nice picture

digitalepiphany - thanks for sharing your experience and I'm sorry you are still fighting for your disability. Maybe you should reach out to finallywakingup for some assistance?

I spoke with my Marine and the good news is that at his doctor's appointment yesterday he did get put on a list for a sleep study. Apparently he'd had a home study but that didn't work out too well as he'd torn off all the equipment while asleep. I passed along what you folks told me and he was amazed at all the information that was obtained in such a short time. He sends his thanks and is hopeful that he can get some therapy soon. It sounds like once that happens the next hurdle will be learning to relax enough to keep a mask on while he's asleep.
