Very timely post as when I was searching the archives, I came upon something she had written and wondered the same thing.

Hope Dori doesn't mind if I share this snippet of news from the email she sent me.
FYI...... Mike is in a nursing home now.

Thank you for sharing that... I'm sure Dori has a lot on her mind now and keeping us informed herself is probably not right up there.

Will do. I'm sure she knows we all have a deep affection for her and Mike.
We don't have quite as much contact as we used to, but usually exchange emails around holidays or other occasions.
She's indeed a dear friend.

Dori made the right decision, as many people on this forum advised her to do, by allowing Mike to go into a nursing home where he can get the special care he needs. If Mike was fully lucid of the world around him, then he wouldn't want Dori to destroy herself fighting a battle she couldn't reasonably cope with. I'm sending my prayers that she will begin the healing process and gather her strength.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Thank you for the replies and information.

OT: Right now I am frustrated beyond belief with Medicare rules and arranging for palliative care for my 94yo mother.
