nOhardmask,

What did you fly? I used to play with y'all all the time either jumping or CAS. I never really got a chance to see y'all land though.

I know that a lot of people have either scorned the original post or offered alternate advice, however my lovely new wife had some how made a small dog lover of me and this sounds like a great excuse to get a pug to hang out with me all the time. If we can get this idea going I can see a very jealou...

I think that I will take that move preemptively! We have a cat and 2 kittens and I have been storing my hose and mask in the CPAP case during the day and trying to keep the little rascals out of our room at night.....until my wife feels the need to let them in to cuddle up.

Hey JohnO, I know what you mean about making little mistakes while tired. While in Panama we were exhausted, but being 20, we decided to go diving for sea urchins. We knew a great place to go and see who could collect the most, so the race was on! Well I was tired and in a hurry to this little bed o...

I have noticed that the quick disconnect between the hose and mask is a great feature as everyone has mentioned. I have worn all kinds of masks through my life weather SCUBA, HAZMAT respirators, or SCBA. my individual issue is that all of these involved a certian level of adrenaline and or heightene...

Ok let me ask another question. Has anyone else had a hard time getting to sleep while wearing their mask? I keep feeling like I am wearing SCUBA gear, and the adrenaline form the feeling of exploring keeps me focused on my breathing and keeps me awake. Last night I woke up at 2:30 to pee and put my...

I called the DME and they are sending out some replacements. Also the RT will not be sent out anymore, the DME said that they don't operate that way and won't be represented that way. Hopefully there won't be any more issues and all will go fairly smoothly from here out. By the way my machine has an...

Nan, Thanks for the encouragement! I hadn't considered not putting my mask on later, but that is a great point. With 4 kids the only "us time" we get is when everyone is down for the night.

Pugsy, the RT said that she had opened them earlier so that she could put the equipment together. So no they were not sealed when i saw them.

Ok, here's the update. The RT flakes on the initial delivery appointment, she refused to work with my schedule for follow up appt. So we cut short our attendance at our churches district assembly and were ready to meet her on her schedule at 1:30 pm Sunday. Well at 5 pm we met her, the machine was e...

I am getting a Respironics REMstar Auto w/Heated Tube Core Pack, and a ResMed Mirage Quattro mask. I have taken a very proactive approach with the DME my Dr recommended tomorrow will be 7 days from the results of my home sleep study. I believe that this machine will come with a SD card. How is the d...

I am new to the group and this is my first post...but i am so excited to be getting my first CPAP equipment! My DME, Nationwide Medical, has the RT scheduled to come to the house tomorrow after lunch. i cant wait to wake up not tired!! if anyone has any advice or hints to ease into the new routine I...
