I have the best DME

Post by Mist » Fri May 15, 2009 2:30 pm

My chinstrap has arrived. Someone could have warned me it looks like a jock strap .

My RT that works with the DME is so great. She is very involved in each of her patients care. She came to my work to show me how to use the chinstrap.

Here's hoping it helps!

Hello Mist. I have been using a chin strap since day one. Don't think I could sleep without it now. As For it looking like a Jock strap May I suggest you keep it in a secure place like your Undie Drawer so Hubby doesn;t mistake it for something Manly to use. Best of luck with the Chin Strap.

I loved it!

I slept so much better since I wasn't having to concentrate on keeping my mouth shut. I woke up Sunday morning (first night with it wasn't the best but the second...WOW) feeling like a new person!

Thanks for the encouraging words....

As for the hubby...we had a long talk about it.

Now time to call the DME and tell her I don't want the loaner....to sign me up for the chin strap club!
