Happy Holidays from SantaCPAP!

Post by SantaCPAP » Sun Dec 13, 2009 11:15 am

Well, old Santa just wants to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Since Santa discovered his sleep apnea and started using CPAP, he's merrier than ever! Don't forget to add those CPAP items to your Christmas list--Santa will do his best to assure that you get everything you need assure you restful, dream filled nights. Thinking Rudolph must have the apnea as well, since Prancer and Comet complain that his snoring wakes them up. Still looking for the right mask fit for Rudolph--maybe I'll get the Elves on this after Christmas--they are a very resourceful bunch! HO HO HO!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

How about the new Software for the PR1 systems and users of old machines for Christmas?

Hello SantaCPAP! Old RipVW would really like to have a backup M Series Auto--just don't know how I'd make it one night if/when mine finally wears out. It's about 2 years old and still going strong, but I'd like to have a spare under the bed just in case.

Does that mean that next year Santa will be lean and mean sleigh driving machine and ready to dance with the Chippendale's?

It must be quite a challenge getting a good mask seal with all that facial hair, Santa!

I've hardly been naughty all year (too tired, for the most part). When your elves have finished supplying toys for all the good girls and boys, I would like to have a ResMed S8 AutoSet II. No humidifier needed, as I can use the one from my Elite II.

One look at that nose is a dead giveaway! That poor dear needs a "pad-a-muzzle"!!!

HO! HO! HO! Just might have one of those M Series Autos in the toy factory--sometimes the elves get a bit bored building toys all day and all night, so they'll throw together some cpap machines! HO! HO! HO!

I guess I've just been too naughty this year, Santa?

Well, I'll try to do better next year, and maybe the Autoset II will be under my tree next Christmas. Until then, I'll just struggle along with trying to determine my optimal pressure.

HO! HO! HO! Yes, DreamOn, Santa will try to get his busy elves to make one of those S8 AutoSet II machines. Good thing that old Santa has lots of helpers!

All right, I'll get it started...

"Twas the night before Christmas
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
not even my spouse;

The CPAP hose was hung
by the bedpost with care,
In hopes that Santa CPAP soon would be there...."

And Ma in her kerchief
And I in my Papcap,
Had just settled down
To a long therapeutical nap -

When out on the lawn
There rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the arousal.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer...

With a little old driver so lively and fat,
I knew in a moment it must be Santa CPAP.

As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney Santa CPAP came with a REM rebound.

He was dressed all in cotton and velcro from his head to his foot,
And his Pee Jays were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of 'bricks' he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a Respiratory Tech. just opening his pack.

His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose scarred from CPAP Therapy!

He had a broad face and a big round belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump -a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to laying out masks, hoses and other stuff,
And filled all the prescriptions without a 'Starbucks'

And laying his finger aside of his netipot,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose from the spot...

He sprang to his sleigh, to his Medical Team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,

"Merry Christmas to all and all a Good Sleep Tonight!!"

Thaaank you, Santa! I did get my request in rather late, and I do understand that your elves are very busy. Merry Christmas to you!
