Wow....I'm glad you like it. I wasn't sure if it was as "creative" as Mike's and Bill's. I like your idea of the Breeze on legs...very good!

I can't believe I am going to stoop to the level of this thread , but ....

There is always room for late night re-runs of

THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW: The idyllic town of Mayberry, North Carolina, where the residents sleep like babies during their studies (conducted by maternal Aunt Bea), the DME (played by Don Knotts) delivers first-class equipment on time and at reasonable prices, and where Gomer Pyle, the town's insurance agent, pays all claims on time and in full.

Also: Survivor Australia. Where the the only modern convenience is a heated hose. First tribe to get the thing to run on US current will survive to compete the next day. Losers get a week-long rain out

Amy I loved it and so glad the insanity is catching.

Jere keep stooping LOL

I know my posts seem off topic but as I have said before we have enough to struggle with and we can all use a laugh. I just like to see us share more than mask tips and flow charts. I know its corny but I truly love seeing people join in and lend their creativity to help others cope. Besides its a kick in the pants.

Okay off the soapbox wiping away the tears and taking a manly pose as I wander off to see what the CPAP Genie has instore for us next LOL

Screenplay Idea

Post by dkeat » Thu Oct 20, 2005 4:08 am

Hey Mike

Lori suggested you write a screenplay sometime. Last night, instead of sleeping, I started flashing on a Star Wars parody especially for the CPAP audience. Some of the cast:

1. Princess Aura - self explanatory
2. Luke Nosebreather - self explanatory (your lead on nosebreather, I couldn't stop laughing!)
3. Darth Vader - an evil lord who falls victim to sleep apnea and is outfitted with the first portable CPAP. The pressure however, is set too high.
4. REM-STAR - the empire's attempt to centralize CPAP facilities in a unit sufficiently large to service all the apnea sufferers in the empire.
5. General Respironics- commander of the REMSTAR
6. Yoda - an apnea sufferer who due to lack of oxygen has stunted growth and green skin. His headgear has done permanent damage to his face.
7. Jabba the Hut - Due to extreme obesity Jabba plots to steal the resources of the REMSTAR to treat his own OSA.
8. Resmed - one of the cute robots used to maintain the CPAPs of Princess Aura and Luke Nosebreather.

Plus a cast of thousands more!

Ok let me try one... this thread has me laughing so hard my coworkers are wondering what's up.

HOSE - new show on Fox about a sleep doctor suffering from untreated sleep apnea (oh, the irony). He's cranky from lack of sleep, and does everything he can to avoid work because, well, he's tired. Walks with a cane, due to a late-night accident involving tripping over a hose while trying to take a bathroom break - and stopped using CPAP because of it. Each week he berates patients that are failing to comply with their CPAP therapy, while he himself constantly pops provigil tablets to stay alert.

--FJC (Frank)
Having a positive attitude makes a huge difference in CPAP therapy - and vice versa!
Ride that loop!

This Old Hose Bob Villa (In reality, my Sleep Doc's name is Dr. Villa)takes us through the history of CPAP equipment. He shows us how old CPAP machines can be rigged to do power washing and serve as air compressors for power tools as well as wall paper removal tools.

And for those of you who love the shows on TLC or HGTV, there is:

HOSE HUNTERS, where couples, leaving behind their present CPAP machines and hoses they were so used to using, go on search of better, more efficient hoses/machines in more prestigious and affluent communities.

HOSES ACROSS AMERICA, an inside look at the dwellings which are the homes to some of the most elaborate and more unique custom-designed xpap machines and the owners who use them.

Here's a couple more ideas:

"Gilligan's CPAP Island"
CPAPer's are shipwrecked on an Island.
Professor Rested Gal invents all sorts of gagets to keep them using their CPAP machines until they are rescued.

"American CPAPPER"
Each week Paul Sr., Paul Jr. and Mikey build a theme CPAP machine (with lots of chrome and unique humidifier tank).
They're all sleep deprived so they fight and argue over the design of the machine all of the time.
Ultimately Mikey has to build the machine while Sr. and Jr. sleep with their machines and make Mikey do all the work.


Den

(5) REMstar Autos w/C-Flex & (6) REMstar Pro 2 CPAPs w/C-Flex - Pressure Setting = 14 cm.
"Passover" Humidification - ResMed Ultra Mirage FF - Encore Pro w/Card Reader & MyEncore software - Chiroflow pillow
