Lynn Ellen...

I agree, 100%...same situation here and I join you in the *sigh*. My feeling is that if we've pointed out their symptoms, and made sure they know where they can go for help, we've done all we can do.

I have a dear friend in significant trouble with OSA...because he cares for me and knows how concerned I am, he listened (that's a start)...but I'm afraid he'll have to come to the place where he no longer has a choice before he seeks medical help. I've done what I could do - as you have with your friend. Now, we wait....and hope.

(I can't help thinking about the years and years I denied I had a problem - in spite of the concern others showed. Hindsight is, invariably, 20/20).
