Re: Tried sleeping in my Recliner.... fail

Moved my TV tray and CPAP to the family room and spent several nights in the recliner each time. Slept go...

Re: anyone near cleveland, helen, blairsville ga with a resmed?
Radio Shack has power chords that will work. Take your machine in and they will get you the right cord. Please don't ask how I know this
Edit: my machine was the elite and there was just a cord, it does not have the 12 volt converter brick

Re: should I stay or should I go
Ask if they will order it for you. The DME I changed to was Resperonics only, however, they said they would order whatever machine I wanted and it was Rx'd by a Dr. Even knowing nothing about the machine they, Respricare, set the machine up and then was glad to listen to what I had to say about ResM...

Re: Homemade chin strap ideas?
When I was a chin strap user sweatbands were my go to chin strap. I also liked using the ACE ankle wrap as a chin strap. Wide, flexible, comfortable and there is enough of the wrap that if you don't like the first one you can try again.
Good luck,
Fred

Re: Septoplasty and turbinate reduction
Gerry,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'll come up and fill in for you if need be....I think I can still remember how to make the lights flash and the siren wail. After that I won't be much good.
Blessings,
Fred
