As soon as I get off the pain meds that make me loopy and get a nights sleep I'll get righteous about this experience.

I described the incidence to my nurse tonight when I went to bed. Shortly after are the supervisor was at my bedside writing up the nurse.

I put it on the bedside table next to me. Hopefully the table won't get pushed around to put it out of reach. Will follow by reporting the problem to powers that be when I feel a bit better.

Thanks for the support and suggestions.

I'm in the hospital for a few days (ruptured appendix). I brought my home unit to make it easier on everyone involved. A family member set it up and filled the humidifier. All I need is for someone to hand me my mask when I'm ready to sleep. My nurses won't do it because CPAP is respiratoroy therapy...

Do some masks come with travel bags? Is that an accessory that some people purchase?

I had hoped this thread would be a place where we could compare diet and exercise efforts to prevent or reverse metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

Don't forget about the emerging market of service robots! Some roboticists claim that service robots can equal or exceed the skills of a service dog. Pooping is a nonissue for robots.

Enjoy your restful nights sleep.

Do you hide cpap from any of your family? Perhaps you just don't mention it? This upcoming memorial day weekend I'm taking my frail elderly aunt on an extended weekend getaway. She is a worrier, has poor hearing and has experienced several deaths of people she loved. I know it will be hard to explai...

When I think about what well designed means I think about universal design principles and the importance of meeting or exceeding user needs, wants and expectations. For me and cpap this means convenience and function. I am trying to envision an aesthically beautiful cpap machine and nothing comes to...

Once I acclimated to cpap I fell into the pattern of first and second sleep. First sleep lasts about four hours. When I wake up I write down dreams on my iPad or wonder about the Internet on my iPad. I set the iPad to the least brightness before bed. The awake time is one to two hours. This is a sou...

Many of us have struggled till we found the right mask. In the end the aloha nasal pillow works best for me. I have a drawer full of masks that didn't work out. Hope you find you'd right mask soon.

A lot of us have had similar experiences. We are fortunate to have this forum for support and information.
