thanks for that tracey xxxHi 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 yve i'll be glad to get it and feel a bit more normal lol xxxI 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 help xxxHi 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!!! xxxHi 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 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to be honest Jen i cant wait to get it, although its good news for my funding, its a serious condition and i dont want to die fat, i want a taste of the skinny life hahahahaha xxx
thanks so much, it means a lot, this place is the dogs danglies, i love it!!! xxx
I was thinking the same thing! But, unfortunately we have no choice. It sucks. But, yeah!!! Referral time!Caren said:aint it awful that we consider a condition that can kill you, good news!! hahahaha what we like? xxx thanks honey xxx
Thank you honey well when i phoned the pct before, they said that he can apply for funding before all appts or it can be done after, so i'll wait and see. Actually come to think of it, the woman at the surgery who deals with it said he's not reffered me yet, he's waiting for the s/a results so i guess he will apply now woohoo, gonna phone him on monday xxxPleased 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 cpap lol xxxI was thinking the same thing! But, unfortunately we have no choice. It sucks. But, yeah!!! Referral time!
