^ this. My obeast of a sister was just told she needs one. The machine alone costs $1500... and that's not including the $400 specialist appointments and the sleep studies she has to go to another city to do... Unbelievable. I mean, I am grateful for our amazing healthcare system - I fell down the stairs 2 years ago and broke my leg so badly that it is now more metal than bone and I still can't stand very long. I have had 2 years of rehab for only $10 a session - an expense I could otherwise not afford as I can barely leave the house let alone work... but HER... I just noticed the other day that she seems fatter than ever, and she has ALWAYS been fat. I love my sister... I want to love my sister... but... it's getting more and more difficult to even be in a room with her. She has to walk sideways through doors now and still manages to touch both sides. It's sad... but also super enraging for me.
