Even though my PC recommended I have the sleep study done, I knew my exhaustion isn't coming from slight apnea. I'm going to keep searching for the reason, it could just be the extra weight, it could be the low platelets, it could be long haulers from Covid, it could just be old age...it's hard to accept old age.

This was the first time I did a video doctor's appointment. I would have liked more instructions on how to connect. The app said I could connect fifteen minutes before the appointment, but after calling in for help, I was connected 10 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. The actual visit was pleasant and helpful.
