Mindy & Tina........

I failed to mention that my honey is using the CL2....with the little "cup" thing that fits over her entire nose. She's only been "on the hose" for about 3-months now.....and her AHI is averaging around 1.3 or better.

She finds that the very comfortable head piece slides around....because of hair......and she's using panty hose tights to stabilize the nose-piece.

We found that she couldn't use the bellows type nose-piece....because one nare is different from the other. The "wierd-nare" has a little bit of cartiledge (sp) that interferes with one of the bellows.....and causes a lot of discomfort. That's the reason she uses the "cup" type nose-piece.....and can't use the Aura.

One last thought.....Each of us has a "swinging arm".....that suspends the hose over our heads at night. Each arm is a "potted plant holder" available from Lowe's........and modified a bit at my local welding shop. Should either of you need pictures of our systems, send a PM with your regular e-mail address......and I'll transmit images that'll make it easy for your men to duplicate or improve.

I'll send you a PM with my email addy here in a min. I do need something the hose over the headboard is not working so well, it hits the wood and makes a rather undesirable noise at night.
