Making a difference

Post by carbonman » Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:07 pm

I made a difference Monday.
My co-worker that was about to quit cpap because he
couldn't get it to work... that sparked my psychology of cpap thoughts.......

He is using a Mirage Swift II Nasal Pillow and did not have the
hose connected to the upper part of the headgear. It was leaking and
he was getting very little therapy.

He came in this am, big bright smile and told me he found the connector.
Installed it correctly and slept most of the night and felt much better today.
He said it is only one night, but maybe this IS going to work and help him.
I don't think I could receive a nicer complement than the smile on his face.
"If your therapy is improving your health but you're not doing anything
to see or feel those changes, you'll never know what you're capable of."
I said that.

You saved his life quite likely. Very cool!
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.
