I had surgery last week, and of course i took my cpap with me. but the nurses would not touch it. they said i had to set it up if i wanted to use it. They wouldn't even take it out of the case. So there i was without my cpap. Any one else had this problem?

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!

My comfort care pad works wonders. I actually had to go and get my nose cut open to drain all of the infection out. Its been about 1 1/2 weeks since and is looking good. A really nice manly scar is now present but oh well.

I had to leave my mask off for a few days. I scared the crap out of my wife one night though. She actually had to shake me to wake up. Of course I stopped breathing and she stopped cpunting at 100 seconds. My nose is healing really good. I will have a nice scar but oh well. Thanks for asking Gasp.

Just got my comfort care pad here in northwesern Ontario. Ireally hope this works, my nose is really sore and now I actually have a little hole almost to the bone. Wish me luck!!!!

Wishing everyone out there in CPAP land a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks everyone for all your replys.

Just wondering how long everyone has been on a cpap machine? For me, its been 3 months and I don't notice any change yet.

Thanks alot Jules,there is a lot of usfull info.

My dog sure does not like my mask. She growls like crazy when I have it on. Even more when my wife is in bed with me. When I take it off the dog is fine but as soon as I put it back on, she is really upset. my sollution I think is to wear it around the house during the day. What do you all think?

Thanks, i will make sure I do that. I do clean the mask everyday, but I don't use dawn.

I have small white blisters and a rash on my nose where my mask sits. Why??? It can't be tight, because if i loosen it i have air leaks. Oh yea, i'm very new at this. I only have had my machine for a week.
