Post by tvmangum » Thu Oct 23, 2008 10:56 am

I am off this afternoon to go meet with the RT to get my machine. After working on this since July I am glad to finally being this close to getting a really good nights rest. Let you guys know more after I get back home.

Wish us luck!

Perhaps the DME is holding him hostage and has sent out a ransom note?

I left the DME around 4:30 this afternoon. Still trying to go through everything to see what I have. I will post more info and update my profile once I know what is going on.

Here is what I now have . . .
ResMed S8 Elite II CPAP machine
RedMed HumidAire 3i humidifier
RedMed Mirage Quattro full face mask.

Decided not to start therapy last night since today was work/school day. I will start using it tonight for the first time since it will not matter if I have to get up during the night to adjust "stuff."

Consider changing the icons you have for your equipment to text so people won't have to work so hard to figure out what you have. I just ignore those posts as I'm sure others do also.

The icons on the very bottom of your post.

Bad!

You are already not getting full benefit of sleep due to sleep apnea... don't procrastinate with this... get started! Wearing the mask and adjusting items during the night may actually gain you more good sleep than the bad sleep you are having without the equipment.
