My wife and kids will see it during the day. Then they will tell their friends and my family. Then it will end up on several social media sites. Then what do I do? Cover the leaves with camp duct tape? :lol:
you know, women just don't appreciate what we men folk have to go through.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

You could spend 20 bucks and swap out the face plate for something more "manly". :lol:
Super easy to pop off and put a different one back on.

Grey with the silver faceplate would look cool. Thanks. I will be on the phone tomorrow with insurance company and Aeroflow to see what is the best route for me. If the insurance thing doesn’t work out I will be buying from CPAP.com. Might as well throw another 20.00 bucks on the order.

Doctor visit was ok. I think they got a lot of improvement to do on their COVID protocol. Very disappointed in that. He wrote the script pretty much they it needed to be and said if I had any problems getting a cpap to give him a call. He said I had OSA. I took a picture of sleep report here on the IPad but I don’t know how to resize it to post it.

That sounds great! Exactly what does the prescription say? Next question: do you think you have insurance that might cover part of the cost?

Through my translation it says
Auto cpap
5-15 h2o
With heated tubing
Something about mask. He told me it is my choice

My insurance will cover it with condition of meeting deductible and compliance. Always have to meet my deductible every year anyways

If you are concerned about the ivy leaves on the front of the machine, simply tell them you are now a member of the "Ivy League" and display your leaves with pride. :lol:

In that case, tell them that you are so strong you can filter your air with poison ivy leaves. :lol:
