Can I brag?

Post by Iowamv » Sat Sep 14, 2013 7:45 am

I went from AHI of 21 and feeling depressed/grouchy/out of sorts/exhausted to this:

I woke up today feeling like I want to just run around the block. Or do public service announcements for CPAPs. Or something. Sorry, I know it is bad form to brag about one's one success, but honestly, I think we can all agree that it is the technology that deserves the credit. I just put the thing on and go to sleep.

Sure you can brag! Great job! Sometimes... all we get is complaints.... don't get me wrong, that's which we are here for... but it's nice to hear some success stories!

Hey I am jealous! Good night's sleep. That sounds like how I was feeling after I awoke from the 2nd sleep study(CPAP all night). Congrats!

Hmmm.. that's no fair.. For some reason, you didn't get Jimbo's celebratory smiley face showing where the Pie Chart usually is.

Congrats nonetheless... What I'd give for a nights sleep like that!

Edit: I'm half tempted to make some fireworks show in the background for these rare occurances.

I have had a few 0.0 nights and I have never seen the Jimbo's celebratory smiley face. I want to see my smiley face.

You can brag after you show ResScan consecutive period of 60 days, or more, Stats, from your S9 Elite, with no leaks.

Something like this:

Thanks everyone. I'd take fireworks, but honestly, even the little question mark icon somehow looks good to me. I interpreted it as "huh? can this be right?!" Which is exactly what my reaction was when I saw it this morning.

BTW, JediMark, thanks for creating this fantastic software. I look at my numbers each morning while drinking my coffee. Makes me feel empowered as a cpap user, as does this site and its helpful members.

I got 0.0 also last night. It is thanks to all the tips I got here at cpaptalk. Thanks for being there.

Avi, with those numbers, I'm surprised you can't be more agreeable!

Go ahead and brag, Iowamv;
Gratitude for little blessings shows the universe that we are able to accept the big ones,
and acknowledge them properly.
