Thanks Maggie!  I hope so.  When I got the news last night, I was down for about 10-15 minutes, but I also know that despairing is not constructive.  So I put it aside, refocused and started looking for answers and asking questions. I knew starting out it was going to be a long and winding...

Again, thanks so much for chiming in on this thread.  Its been very enlighting and helpful. I've wondered about those mouth devices as well.  Haven't heard much on possible effectiveness, but that will be something I'll bring up too! I can certainly see the point and the "danger" you made in...

I started the process last year and 34, and from comments I've read from here and from people I've met along the way, I certainly didn't feel like I was "too old". Something else to help with push ups... if you are doing exercises like the bench press, with either dumbells or a bar, I read a...

Cupper - yeah, I totally get where you are coming from and I understand those issues. If I had of known sooner that this would be an issue, I would have taken steps before now.  Oh well, can't cry over spilled milk, right?  I've been working on the weight loss since my physical.  I'm down about...

Thanks so much MM!  :salute: I know that I least have some direction anyway... and I'm willing to put up with some discomfort to make this happen. Why did you say that the tonsillectomy/UPPP only "buys time"?  Just curious what you meant by that.  I take that as meaning that the problem can...

Justin and Maggie have given good advice.  As someone who has been in the process for the last year, it won't be a fast trip.  Stay optimistic, but don't expect anything to move quickly. If you feel things are taking awhile, call your RC but don't pester them. Personally, what I've doen is wait...

Thanks for the input guys... and yes, I do understand where its coming from.  *I* just find it hard to believe.  I know that has very little bearing on the rest of the world! LOL Have an appointment with the GP on Thursday, so we'll see what happens. Wish me luck!

I have lost some weight since my physical, but I don't believe my weight is not a terrible factor. I'm 6'2" and right now about 235 lbs.  So, technically overweight (if you go by BMI), but certainly not morbidly obese. When I was originally diagnosed, the doctor did discuss having a...

I understood what the letter meant about submitting information... in terms of advice, what I meant was does anyone here have any experience with sleep apnea and suggestions how to not have this be a barrier to joining? 

Well, the wind was taken out my sails today.  I received a letter from the RMO saying that because I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP that I do not meet the "common enrollment medical standard" for the CF.  Which I find rather hard to believe, considering that I'm fairly confident that I could...

Didn't have much time to read over the spring, so I'm still on Shake Hands With The Devil and Under the Dome... I also have The Road on the go and an audiobook in the car... 11/22/63 by King.  I've really enjoyed that!  On the last section now.

I just happened to see two Hornets fly by my house yesterday afternoon around 15:00. Heading south, but pretty low flying, 5-10,000 feet at best, going at a pretty leisurely pace.  I live on Lake St. John, about 5 minutes north of Casino Rama (about 15 KM NE of Orillia, ON for those not familiar...
