Doctors are a pain

I had my sleep study done over three weeks ago. I called my dr's office last week and they called me back and said I do have sleep apnea. I was told to call the place I did my sleep study and they would get me fitted with a CPAP. That is a machine to keep you breathing at night. So I call the hospital where I did my sleep study and the lady says I have been referred to another dr, almost an hour away. I was given the number to contact him. I called and I get an answering service. Turns out they are moving their office and not answering their phones. So I leave a message. I did not hear back from them on Monday so I called back, still got the answering service. I guess they are having problems with their phones. I did not leave another message since I assumed they got the first and just have not called back because of the issues with their phones. I finally got a call today and the lady says they will have the referral coordinator call me back to schedule an appt with the dr for a consult. Then she asks if when they did the sleep study if they put a CPAP on me, I told her no. Then she asked if I had the study done in Wasuau and I told her I had it in Rapids. She said that changes things, I will probably have to be put on a machine at home for a while and then go back in for another sleep study. On top of that the dr is out and she won't be able to get back to me for several days. I am so frustrated with this. I just want this issue corrected because I am tired of being tired all the time. I really don't want another sleep study, the first was a horrible experience. I took forever to fall asleep, I tossed and turned all night and I felt like I never slept. Then they glued electrodes to my head and it took forever to get that glue out of my hair. I thought once they determined I had sleep apnea I would be able to get treated and be done with all this mess.

I had an expo yesterday for my Wildtree business. I was invited to be part of a first annual women's expo with the Christian Womens Club in our area. I only made a couple sales but I got the name out there, since most had no idea the business was out there. Some took catalogs and business cards so we will see what happens. I have tons of leftover food, we had some for dinner and Hannah says " I love this Wildtree stuff momma". She might be my best sales tool :-)

Nothing new on the job front. Have a blessed day.
