Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I haven't had my surgery yet---but I guess I'm already " mourning " food. I'm still not allowed to drive, so I can't really go anywhere unless my father comes and takes me to doctor appts. Hubby was in an accident really minor, but his car has been at the auto body place for a few weeks. He's currently using my car to go to work. I called UPS last night and complained. They said something about Tuesday....and they had to put my complaint in the " system " and it would get read by the nearest UPS center. I still don't know when my package is coming, though. CPAP troubles again last night/this morning. I called the medical supply place I got the machine and mask from. They said to bring the mask in on Tuesday and they'll see if it's the wrong size (which I think it is). As a result, I feel like I was run over...I'm still a bit groggy and I got up an hour and a half ago. I'm going back to read more posts and see if anyone else responded to my post from last night.
