So now I have done everything I can do.. I wait..

This has got to be the most excruciating part of this whole thing! My part is over with and now my doctors and insurance have to make decision while I wait even more. I am like a person obsessed and checking cpapauction.com and craigslist and then I re-read over what I need to send into Awake in America, everyday! I am drooling over pics of auto cpaps like it was a brand new car I want! I know so many people don't want to give this a try but since my titration and how good I felt I am ready! Just getting frustrated on certain days if they try to lie to me when I know the truth... ARGH!

Don't just sit and wait... keep reminding them you are waiting to get started with your therapy with follow-up calls.

Call once/week for a status update on your case.

Right now I am on hold until I see my GP on October 30th. Sleep doc wants me on that straight cpap. I am going to try and convince my GP of why I would like an auto and see if he will write out a prescription for one.. Then watch out I will be on fire! lol
