aerophagia cure

I find that when I am bloated with aerophagia a session the cpap machine alleviates the problem.

I am moat bloated at the end of the day.A night on the CPAP unit brings my abdomen back to normal in the morning.

a touch of humor

On Halloween I thought my six-year old grandson would find my mask and hose amusing. He took one look and ran screaming from the room. His mother did not find it funny either.

aged mask

Today,much to my surprise, UPS delivered a new mask and hose.I have grown fond of the one I've been using for past three months and wonder if I should dispose of it.
What does one do with a used mask?
