Derek, First and foremost, I was in precisely your situation with my father just about 10 years ago now; nothing makes it easy but keeping all of my loved ones close if only to sit there and stare at helped me the most. Regarding your software, you have succeeded in doing what I have been toying wit...

Magazine? how about a book. Then, Liam could go on a signing tour. Bring your CPAP to the book store and he will sign it for you. Wear your mask and you get 20% off the cover price of the book. There would be lines around the building camping out waiting for his appearance. Imagine the extension cor...

I use the Oracle as a supplement to the F&P Infinity. I had a deviated septum "repaired" about a decade ago and then, couple years later, the septum wall blew out and I now have a perforated septum. Anyhow, tissues in there are soooo sensitive that there are some nights I just can't face the thought...

I own one. Was actually my first mask (only been on CPAP for 3.5 weeks). Also have an Infinity. I use the Oracle on nights that I just can't think about anything in contact with my nose. It works quite well for me, seems to even keep my tongue out of my throat since you can't completely bite down wi...

Ok, let me see if I can answer the several followon questions. My nares are oval, and the four sizes of inserts that come with the Infinity are all progressive sizes of ovals; pretty much the same shape as the others I have seen. There is not really any variation as the the aspect ratio of the inser...

I just noticed that my stupid little diagram didn't even display like I typed it in. Sigh. So, I ran upstairs and snapped a quick pick of the unit with the inserts attached. I lied about the filter in the diffuser; I had it confused with the filter in the Oracle . Sorry about that. But, you can clea...

I "test fitted" the NasalAire II against my machine when I was selecting a first mask. I rejected it because of the noise. Didn't like the prospect of hissing like a tractor tire with a slow leak in it. I (and my bunk mate, a.k.a. wife of 22 years) find the Infinity to be virtually silent. They put ...

Ok, I was wrong in that you can't just attach an image to a PM and send it to me. So, if the software I posted about in a different thread doesn't work for you and you want an image converted. PM me and I will give you a link that will open a window to an FTP/web site that I control. You can then dr...

I have one, been using it a couple weeks, and I love it. The nasal inserts have a couple extra features that keep the sucker in place. One, they have little ridges on them such that they behave like a fish-hook. Easy in, little harder out (not too hard, it just keeps the tension in the nose). Two, t...

For any windows version, you can get a pretty simple image resizer from: http://www.mrfreefree.com/free/images/5/# Scroll down and look for a title named "Mihov Image Resizer". Click the title and download/execute the "ir.exe" file that will come down. I have scanned the download and the resulting e...

OK, to branch from the "Curiosity" thread... If you are running Windows XP, you can download a simple image resizer from: http://sasha.mcreynolds.com/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe This is a free add-on from Microsquish themselves. Got it directly from the Microsoft site. If you don't trust my copy o...

OK, about time I contributed something other than bad attitude to my posts. PM me your images, and I will produce 80x80 images suitable for avatars and PM them back. Yes, I'm serious. Yes, I know how many files I may end up doing. I just think it is a cool idea and I want to help. I will also try to...

Mine's on a footstool from the rocker I used to rock my kids to sleep when they were that age. I set the footstool about even with my waist up against the side of the bed. This is because the feeling of the hose running over my shoulder towards the nightstand drives me nuts for some reason. I use ei...

Mikesus, Waaaaaaaaaaay cool, and congratulations on your persistence. I still expect to be fighting the same fight even though at the moment I have a wonderful DME who *says* he will accept assignment from my insurance even though he is not in their plan. I just have a feeling that it will all chang...

Rested Gal,

Thanks oodles for that cross-posted link. Lots of good info in that single message thread.
