Just want to say that I've had 2 positive experiences recently.

l. Hospital....On list of medical history questions, they actually asked: Have you ever suffered from Sleep Apnea?

2. Surgeon....Same question on my medical history.

We've come a long way when a hospital and surgeon in a small town in the South have added this to the list of medical problems we might suffer from.

I'm proud to play a part in spreading the word since my husband suffered with sleep apnea that wasn't treated in time to help save his life. He was only 72 and only enjoyed his cpap during the last year of his life. I firmly believe he would have lived a much longer life had we only known sooner.
Wishing you a long and healthy life with lots of good sleep.
Grace
