More Than One Way....

Post by deerslayer » Wed May 08, 2013 6:19 am

to skin a cat (figuratively) of course
when i was handed my new S9 Elite last week all setup by the DME, Modem included. All went well, this is one sensitive machine. Only one thing----Modem cannot connect to network. Just Great, i figured the cpap police would be knocking on my door. RT says no worries, data will be on SD card. ( insert light bulb here ). dahuh well yeah....i been reading it every dadgum morning !
with the help of caring people & some Rescan software , i just snapped a pic of compliance with the trusty Iphone , inserted in email & poof problem solved. Ain't technology Great.

I am going to get a prescription for a new CPAP soon. A friend told me our doctor now prescribes machines with the modem. I am going to soak the modem in water for a day. The idea of having someone snoop on me doesn't sit well.

When in doubt, open the case. Remember: If you can't open it, you don't own it!

Prescribed APAP range - 6-10 cm/H2O, titrated at 8.
Current range - 9.0-11.5 cm/H2O - still searching for the magic "zero night" but averaging 2.2 AHI

It may be an insurance requirement. As such, it might also be temporary. The modems cost money and the DME doesn't want to be giving them out permanently for free.

So before you soak it in water, make sure you don't have to return it after 90 days. (Why not just unplug it, anyway?)

I decided I could live with 90 days of remote monitoring.

Read the fine print, Eddie.
You may be liable if an "accident" happens to the thing.
When this happens, trust the DME to bill you about 10X what it cost them.

That is why I never give my home number anymore ... I tell them I only use a cellphone plus that way you can easily choose to answer or not. I love voice mail

I even told my satellite provider the same when they wanted me to plug in my recievers. (Sorry can't connect a landline as I don't have one )

Don't give up your day job. You will never make it as a comedic writer.

I don't live here and I have no plans to move in. It seems there are about a dozen of you that get your daily kicks here.

Enjoy.
