Final Follow Up Appointment of the Year
July 15, 2010
I see several specialists, and my sleep doctor was the last follow up appointment of the year. He was pleased with the download of my machine – said I was a model patient – about 1 apnea episode and hour and somewhere around 7.5 average on the machine a night.
Let me tell you as a sleep apnea patient having a machine that shows compliance makes a huge difference in how the doctor perceives and listens to you. Back in the day, the machine didn’t do that and the doctor, frankly didn’t believe you when you had issues.
I also asked him about knee replacement as I was pretty sure he had had one done – he had, and is very happy with the results.
Nice to have all the appointments done and out of the way.
