Hi everyone...

I can't believe how long I've gone without posting on here! It's been a busy few months but I've been meaning to get back into posting on here. I hope everyone is well.

As for me, my situation with my insurance got straightened out; my sleep doctor ended up being much more helpful than I thought, and he wrote a letter to my insurance company and got it all sorted out.

What's new with you guys and gals??

Joe! Glad to see you back, and it's wonderful to hear that your insurance snags were solved. Kudos to your doc, as well, for taking care of that.

Though I know many folks complain about varous doctors and DMEs, many (and I like to think most) really do go into healthcare business out of a desire to help others. And if you present a clear chance to help, most do make the effort. It's wonderful your doctor came out swinging for you. And it's good you felt well enough to be away from the forum for a long time. That often says more about how your therapy is working. If you don't feel you need help with it, it's a very, very good sign.
