Package comes and there is a new hose and a new shell and new cushions and new nose gizmos.

Complete package every time no matter what I order.

Medicare pays so they don't give a damn what I want or need.

I've been thinking of going back to lab and getting new copy of prescription and ordering from cpap and dropping the brick and mortar DME locally.

It also can help if you know of one or more Congress-critters who are budget hawks and clue them in to what's going on.

Hello, I'm new here and found this forum because I Googled this topic.
I have not read through all the posts, but am looking for a way to convert my old hoses into soaker hoses for garden plants.
Has anyone ever done that?

I'd ask someone at the hardware store or nursery for ideas... and they should know the best connector ideas.
