In a pinch I've used a hose coming off a 57 Chevy, had to use 2 rolls of Duct tape to make it work.

Why, I am sure I have no idea what you mean! Heavens!

And jlmoore, I am willing to bet duct tape has come in handy to more than 1 one CPAP user!

I was just thinking creatively, looking forward to getting hooked up next week for a machine.

Well at least you didn't try making your own mask out of a [used] jock strap and bungee cords.

That doesn't work.

Don't ask how I know.

Happy Friday!!!! I'm going nuts. I'm not good at waiting for things LOL. I'm supposed to hear from the scheduling about dd's ENT appointment before Wednesday and up until now I was praying for a cancellation for the sleep study tonight. Struck out lol

Looked only because I've had the same thought. Seems I keep a small air compressor in the car for inflating flats. It's a lot cheaper!

You could try a space bag for a mask and a bungee cord around the neck for a good seal. This might just work.
