thanks for that traceyHi Caren so happy for you, woo hoo.
I could not drive until I went back to the hospital and had my first check up after I had my mask for a few weeks, but the dvla did tell me that once I start the treatment should be ok to drive and the hospital will confirm this at your first check up, I was only off the road for 3-4 weeks.
The other thing is to make sure your sleep apneoa consultant puts in your letter that you have Severeobstructive sleep apneoa as mine left this one word out and the pct still turned me down even though I was already on my cpap machine, this is why I had the face to face meeting with them, but could of saved me more stress if this word was in the letter in the first place.
Well once again well done, onwards and upwards.

thanks yveI feel mad for saying this but yay! so glad you have sleep apnoea! Now off to check if I can get my head round that!
Don't be afraid when you get the mask to play around with it, adjust for comfort and if its not comfortable hassle them until you get one that is! Also bear in mind that you will get used to it pretty quick; the first week is the hardest.
well that would be nice honey, but i dont even have funding yet lol hopefully this will helpHi sweet remember bex had her op within a couple of months of using her cpap x
thanks so much, it means a lot, this place is the dogs danglies, i love it!!!Hi Caren
Like the other posts, it almost seems insulting to congratulate you on having such a serious condition...thank-god that you're going to get it addressed and HOPEFULLY you will move up the list at a vast rate of knotts

Thank you honeyPleased to see another box ticked Caren, and you have moved out of limbo. I truly believe things will start happening for you now, and hope your funding application will be successful. Does your PCT get funding before you see a surgeon, or does the surgeon apply after referral?
hahaha just hope i dont die before i get my cpapI was thinking the same thing! But, unfortunately we have no choice. It sucks. But, yeah!!! Referral time!
