Linda, I can't give you any questions to ask but wanted to wish you a safe trip. It looks like a long way through the mountains, take care of yourself and let us know how you make out.

Hi Linda,

I cant remember if you are on Bipap or not. If not , this is the time to bring it up.

Good luck at your appointment.

Hi Glen and Berry, I do not have the Bipap yet. I will ask him about it and I sure hope I can get one. I am just way too tired and want to get the most out of life ,Right Now..... I will be home Sunday. Take care and keep your fingers crossed for me that I get one... Linda

If you haven't had a flu shot, he might be able to get you one.

Back from Denver.. Saw the Pulmonary Dr. Had the tests[easy].. They fitted me for the Bipap. it is ordered. I did feel like I was going through a wind tunnel when they put on the mask...LOL Settled down and had it on for about an hour. So I have lots of hope that this will make me less tired? Hope to have it in a couple of weeks. Linda

Do hope you feel some relief with the bi-pap. More energy would be so encouraging.

Hi Linda,

Depending on your level of exhaustion, it could take days or weeks to feel more energy.
Don't fret and hang in there.

Let us know , and you will , the day when you feel perky !
