Actually, jumping in a lake is fun and healthy if done properly. I love jumping in lakes, rivers, mountain streams, bays, ponds, oceans, municipal reservoirs, coves, narrow, lagoons, large cisterns and fiords. Remove your CPAP equipment and, at my age, no jumps higher than 40 feet.

Sliding in is great also.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

Can we please maintain a sense of respect towards women on this website? It would be nice. If you want that kind of talk, and to post such pictures, there's plenty of other sites on the web where you can do that.

I want to read about treating my sleep apnea. I'm not interested in dirty-old men jokes. They're boring and put me to sleep fast than my OSA. And nope, I am not a prude, so don't even bother using that as a defense. Just someone who is amazed at times by the disrespect men pay towards women, and then they wonder "honey, why are you so upset?" Duh.
Please look through Rooster's posts and relax..........he has a neat sense of humor that I truly enjoy. He brings some levity to this board in addition to constant support and meaty postings to educate all of us.

Rooster is a rock on this board........I often click on his posts, just because of the wealth of information and smiles he has brought onto this board.

Howdy....if you find something you don't appreciate from any member, just click on.....

Thank you Rooster!

Nothing like adding some fuel to the fire, eh Rooster? Maybe you need to wrap a pillow around your head.

I remember once a questioner asked Miss Manners how to handle a situation in a movie theater where other patrons were behaving in a manner the questioner thought innapropriate. Miss Manners answered that the thing to do is to bring it to the attention of the management and let them handle it, if they even think there is anything worth handling. In a message board, I'd say the thing to do is to contact a board moderator.

Back to the topic at hand.

I'm now four-days in and doing great. Two of the days my leak was 0.00. The largest leak has been 0.06. I think this is working really well for me, FWIW. I also suspect this will prevent the odd-night where I remove my mask then wake up having never remembered doing so.

I am glad to hear that this is working for you. I wish my leak numbers looked like that. Good for you.
