Good Luck with the surgery. I was in the hospital for a week about two months before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I look back and think I should have been diagnosed then, but no one even mentioned sleep apnea. They did have a pulse/ox monitor (I hope this is the right term ) on my finger. Just ...

old hose head, new to forum

I came to this forum a couple of weeks ago, while looking for a new Resmed MFFS2. I have been in my own little world feeling like the only cpap user on the planet.
