Because it's temporary! Just until he gets the official script & machine, etc. from his MD.

Right, but I couldn't make sense out of it. I was wondering if someone could put it into simple words I can understand.

Alright thanks. It worked. I was doing something very similar before and not sure why it works now and not then.

Well, outstanding! Did you choose CPAP fixed pressure or AUTO with a pressure range?

I set it low to a 6.5. It feels better. I know someone said 9, but 6.5 feels comfortable.
