That was just GREAT!

The really bad thing is I could see my last sleep Dr. going for this! His only advice for mask pain was to desensitize by wearing it more!

How about having the mask permanently GRAFTED to your face?

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Someone needs to rearrange YOUR face for CPAP!

Hook, Line and Sinker...(sigh)

I was already thinking "why not shape the mask to the face instead...wait a minute...ComfortGel!"

Clever AF joke, but I am afraid that plastic surgeons might pick up on the idea. The main problem with this would be that insurance does not pay for plastic surgery. But they might do it as a covered benefit as a part of deviated septum work.

My swiss cheese memory is so bad, it was like reading it all over again ...for the first time.

Thanks again, snorbie!

Maybe when this instant classic comes up again on April 1, 2015, I'll think, "hmmm, that sounds familiar, for some reason...."
