I'm still around...

Post by John from Brookston » Sun Aug 11, 2013 11:36 pm

Hi, I'm still here, but there's nothing new to report. I'm 100% compliant, feeling better, and still lovin' the ever-lovin' stuff out of the Swift FX.
The cat is starting to get over his fear of the hose, but he still sleeps at the furthest corner of the bed from the machine when I have it on. I wake up and un-mask and he comes up to look me in the eye and say "Um, look, that food bowl won't fill itself and I have no thumbs..."
That's all...

Hey John,

My wife has two small dogs who feel it is their right to sleep on the bed. Once I put my CPAP stuff on, they don't recognize me and start yapping like they are gonna do something.

I'm glad you are felling good.

Feeling good and 100% compliance: there must be some sort of correlation there!

Be well,
TheWino

My cat is fascinated with the hose too. I woke up one night to her biting the hose. Congrats on 100% compliance and feeling better.

Well my cat thought that the machine was a good place to sleep on top of. I found out the hard way when I woke up gasping and wondering what happened to my air.
