Re: cpap & hospitals

I too was told to bring in my cpap. I had a second total knee done this April. The only way I saw my cpap installed was when I installed it!!!!!!!!!! they tell you to bring it yet I think they don't know how to put it on and turn it on. All they had to do in my case was put my mask on the machine di...

Re: HELP! How come I have 0 numbers on my machine?

well it would seem that 4 am cancels out the first thought then....not all the world operates on "9to5" that's why I asked. Sometimes I sleep in and go past noon and have to use the card to get the imput vs. the lcd which then would read zero's. I don't clear mine.It just picks up from when I start ...

Re: HELP! How come I have 0 numbers on my machine?

you didn't say what time you woke up.And this is why I have a Resmed and around noon time give or take the lcd goes back to zero in preparation for reading the next day.So if you work second shift for example I guess you'd have to track yourself by a card or change the time in your machine. I don't ...

The only "change" I see is the "change" you're gonna have left in the bottom of your pocket at the end of day. I see no good from government running businesses when they themselves never did.And they ( the govnernment) run off about abusing pay and benefits they should look in the mirror.It used to ...
