My CPAP machine has been repaired and is finally back home tonight!

Ahh, I am already excited to curl up with my humidifier and Cflex and all those things I didn't have on my temporary backup machine.

I think I am actually going to go to bed early tonight! The backup machine was okay, but I really missed the responsiveness of the auto.

I'll bet the machine is as happy to be back home as you are to have it back!

Yea! Many happy zzzzz's to you.

Is'nt it funny... I used to dread the thought of having to sleep with a mask stuck to my face. Now, I can't imagine a night without it.

Thanks for understanding, guys!

Now I can resume monitoring my stats again. I just looked it up and it has been one month to the day that the machine broke.

And you're so right, Kattitude! At diagnosis, I was relieved to finally know what was wrong with me, but then when it began to sink in that I had to be married to that darned mask/machine for life, I had some emotions over it.

After gaining so much of my life back with therapy, I too cannot imagine going without now.

Funny how that changes.

Definetly. It's great to have a responsive sleeping partner.

Good Rest to you,

So Sleeping Beauty,

Did you get your "beauty" rest now that you have your machine back?

How was its first night home?

You know, LyleHaze, although I am quite capable of innuendos, I was seriously JUST extolling the virtues of my machine this time! What does that say about me??!!

J.A.Taylor, last night's beauty rest was fabulous! Having the Cflex makes more difference than I realized. And I also appreciated the auto response more than I remember doing before. I kept checking to make sure it was on, because breathing was so effortless in comparison to the straight blowing of the backup machine.

I also loved having the humidifier again. You don't realize how much these little things contribute to the sleep experience as a whole until you go without them for a while. I didn't wake up until my alarm went off this morning. And......I was able to check my stats...ONE apnea episode of a 6-second duration. How is that for beauty sleep!!!!!

I wish I could afford another "good" quality machine as a backup!
