Hey ems, I'm doin' a great big happy dance!

Post by ughwhatname » Thu Nov 01, 2012 4:59 pm

Ha! I just returned from my DME appointment to get a Swift FX mask to try (in my 30 days) as well as a Mirage FX sample. Their policy is one exchange only before paying for additional masks out of pocket.

The RT had told me that I would need to return the Swift LT I had been using, but since they can't re-use it, I had hoped to keep it as a backup, or if it really were the best choice for me, to still have it. Ends up, I can keep all three! Yeah!

Now, for the real source of my happy dance... I'm getting to trade in my rental silver S9 for an S9 for Her in PINK, pretty pink! I was so jealous of another poster about her ability to get a pink one, and now, I can smile each time I see my pink machine, AND use the money I could have spent on a skin on pretty panties! Whoo hooo!

I was so thrilled about my experience with the masks (this was before I found out about getting the pink machine) that I offered to help the RT with her benefits open enrollment next week since I do benefits for a living.

Just want you to know that you got that PINK machine b/c I spoke to the PINK Gods Don't go thinking you managed to get it all on your own, or anything like that And, about the, "pretty panties"... Lazer will be thrilled

You got to keep all three masks... apparently the PINK Gods like you a lot I'm not the least bit jealous either... my silver machine matches my clock and my land line holder... that's very important ya know. About as important as you having a PINK machine

Seriously, whatever floats your boat and helps you use the machine Okay... running out of yellow explanation marks...

Hi Ugh *waves*

Does this mean with the $$$ you saved you'll be investing in "Pink Panties" now?

ems - You need to get that mojo working in my behalf also. You've got 4 years to get it perfected and up and running for my "purple" Apap like the one I have. However, my grey one does go perfectly well with the black and white bedding and grey/purple mix paint in my bedroom.

I'm pretty sure there is no pink god... when my niece was very young, she created not an imaginary friend, but two imaginary families. They were the Pink Family and the Blue Family. I'm thinking you have a pink imaginary friend. Either way, thank you very much!

Hey there Starlette - I'll do what I can ... but your grey one seems like it goes perfectly in your bedroom and getting lots of use. You mean silver tho, doncha?

Cute! Love it when the kids play with imaginary friends. When my granddaughter was around six, she told her mom that she really came from Chinese parents who loaned her to her parents. At that time she didn't even know a Chinese person.

I know what you mean! Maybe it's time to think about redoing my bedroom.....to match my cpap decor.

Ooooh, I just saw the zebra skin! I could do my bedroom in black, white and PINK!
