Dori, no matter what, you should not regret offering kindness. Spoofed or not spoofed.

Maybe we have been too hard on the wife; some folks have a hard time accepting problems.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

You marry for better or worse, in health and in sickness. That means you support your spouse going through a hard time with health issues. Don't focus on your own whines until things are under better control. When I see my father holding my mother with dementia, never losing his temper with her, calling us when she needs help, these kind of spouses make me sick.

Where do I begin? First, I say thanks to each of you and for your words of encouragement and understanding. You and this forum are equally as valuable as my equipment and OSA doctor. Second, I am back on the hose, last night being my second night. I am going to post my experience and data from my BiPAP on new post "My night on my BiPAP."

Glad to see you back on the hose.
I was worried. Please do keep us posted. You can bounce anything you want off our ears.

I sense a giant cyber sigh of relief coming from this forum.

Way to go!

I am so relieved you are back. My frustration got the better of me for a while; as yours may have for you;
but as wiser minds have pointed out: Love and patience will help you weather the storm.

Thanks again. Can I "complain" [tongue in cheek; jokingly]?

The reply from lazer, more specificially I guess his signature? contains a moving "bug?" As I was reading through the responses and came to the one before and after lazer, I saw this "bug" moving around on my monitor and actually thought it was on my monitor and first tried to blow it off...that did not work....so I tried to flick it off with my finger...that did not work...then I began to think, this bug somehow is under the monitor screen but I can still see it...how is that possible?

Am I the only one getting caught up in a very clever...how did lazer do this....idea?

Thanks lazer for distracting my attention away for a few minutes to a benign but important task of getting the bug off my monitor.

No, you are not the only one. I hereby swallow my pride and admit that I, too, did once or twice try to kill that bug. LOL !!

Add another to the "bug killer" list (w/the same unsuccessful results). Kinda neat, "ain't" it?

I am glad you are back. As you can see from my previous post I do have issues with unsupportive spouses. Shrugged off health issues is one of the things that broke my long term relationship and then I get to watch my formerly extremely self centered macho father do everything to help my mother.
