Re: Ok, I was able to find my stats for the first time!!!!

I'm actually feeling GREAT today!!! I had a "taste' of this back in the summer when I was on straight oxygen....before getting the sleep study and cpap machine. I had a wonderful summer....was a different person ! Then I did the sleep study and got the cpap machine and the oxygen was taken away unti...

Re: Got my new machine tonight and not sure what to do....

Yes, Slinky, my DME has been wonderful! I have no complaints at all about her. My doctor seems to "run behind" on things and she is a great go-between to keep him updated on what I need. She's really good at answering any of my questions and seems to be knowledgeable and willing to help. I can call ...

Re: Got my new machine tonight and not sure what to do....

Thanks guys! I'll look for Uncle Bob and i'll look for that user's manual. She left books with me that came with the machine, but they don't really give enough information. When she was here she showed me the screen to read my AHI, but no matter what I do, I can't find it now. I push the information...

Got my new machine tonight and not sure what to do....

I got my ResMed S9 Elite +H5i (that's what the box says). It has the SD card in the back and she said the doctor will look at it. But, if I understand correctly, I can take it out and download it to my computer and look at it myself????....is that correct? So, how do I do that? Do I need special sof...

Oxygen Levels on cpap machine still drop...why?

Ok, I just found out that the oxygen test I took still shows my oxygen level dropping into the 80's while on the cpap machine. I'm curious what causes this. I haven't talked to my doctor yet, but will be, because there is evidently something besides sleep apnea going on. But, I'm just curious....why...

Re: Yay! I'm getting a ResMed S9 to replace this S8

Well, when I get it, I'll let you all know for sure what she's bringing me. She said it's the very newest out, and I'm assuming the Escape is NOT new.
Plus, she knows I want the data reader....so I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the right thing. Sure hope so! Is the S9 Auto the newest one out???

Re: Yay! I'm getting a ResMed S9 to replace this S8

LOL jlk! I don't think I've ever been a poster child before...unless it was "poster child of disorganized"! Believe me, I was a very motivated patient because I already had a "head's up" on how much better I'd feel, since I'd been on oxygen since April. There was no turning back for me because I kne...

Re: Yay! I'm getting a ResMed S9 to replace this S8

I will chunkyfrog...I appreciate the advice. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the Auto because when she called me back, she said it was the newest they had...S9 auto (before I even mentioned it to her). And I specifically told her I didn't want the Escape and she said, no, the doctor ordered the S9 Auto ...

Re: Yay! I'm getting a ResMed S9 to replace this S8

Whew! She just called back...she had ordered me the S9 AutoSet. She said it's the very newest! She did say the doctor wants my number to be pre-set (not on Auto), but that's ok with me. Awesome....I think I'm getting the RIGHT machine!!! Never thought I'd get so excited over a sleep machine...LOL! T...

Re: Yay! I'm getting a ResMed S9 to replace this S8

OH NO, I just told her the S9....but I did tell her more than once that I want to see my data, so that should tell her, right? I just put a call in to her to ask what she ordered...had to leave her a message. I hope she got me the right now, cause I don't know if they'd change it again. BUT, she KNO...

Yay! I'm getting a ResMed S9 to replace this S8

Thanks to you guys, I asked my DME for the newer S9 machine (they brought me the S8) about a week and half ago. She said they were on backorder and should be here in a couple of weeks and she's have to get the doctor to sign off on it. She called today for something else and said she spoke to the do...
