Happy Birthday to me... well I am sitting here wishing it was my re-birthday, not a just getting older one.  I met with the Sleep Dr. yesterday, pre-tested, now I'm heading to the Sleep Center, He definitely feels I have Sleep Apnea, that I'm not just an "insomniac"  Well just another comodity to list for insurance. I wish my referral letter would get here already!! Geesh the two Dr's are only a few miles apart!  I'll drive it there if my PCP wants me too! LoL I was soooooooo tempted to go upstairs from the Sleep Dr yesterday, just to visit the surgeons office almost directly overhead 1 floor.  I didn't, I realize they are a busy office, and didn't have time for gawkers, :)  they have sent me "the packet" of what to have when I do get my initial consult...  tap tap tap tap tap (me trying to be patient here).. lol  Oh and I shrunk an inch (puzzled look) since last week, and lost another pound.

Well what a day it was for me. First I went to the Gastro Dr. I had a Colonoscopy 2.5 weeks ago, and have been awaiting the results of the biospy. NERVOUSLY AWAITING, let me tell you. But since he removed the polyp he found, I feel much better. So I did A LOT of praying. Anyways results: BENIGN!!  :)  I'm so glad I'm ok!  Then I got home and in the mail was my checklist from Dr. Richards' office, Yanno I ripped that one open fast. I called the Phys, on his list and none of them accept my insurance. *sigh* Well I have another option there, I am going to check that out and hopefully go that way. I see my PCP on April 9th, I'm going in fully loaded with info and WILL walk out of his office with a referral.  He did after all, suggest this surgery to me 3 months ago. He is on my side. Want to hear a funny?  I called my caseworker, I'm on Medicaid, I wanted the phone number and address of Medicaid.. She didn't know!!! lmao!

I go to the sleep clinic on April 16th, for whatever they do first.  I'm just trying to get everything moving in the right direction at this point, helping myself to knowledge, inquiring, making appt's.  blah blah blah.. The only thing that Dr. Richards office sent that will be hard for me to fill out is the Past Diet history.  Who keeps track of failures?  All I got is my memory there, and my PCP's records of my weight always climbing. Should I send the insurance company pic's of me from baby fat to 40 fat? I got a whole album of my growing fatness.
