Getting on APAP soapbox: You have an APAP, so why not let it find the appropriate pressure for you? Am I missing something here. Getting off APAP soapbox now : )

Country4ever had good points. That's what I was going to say.

Also, I would be glad to walk you through your set up by phone - my 'dime' - no problem. It is really, really easy. Or, come visit me and I'll set up for you! We could have a maskfest, or pretend we're 'normal' and watch movies : ) We have extra monitors so you wouldn't need to bring that.

Thanks Babs, But must keep it up... If things keep going well maybe I wont need to go through with the Surgery. I've got a 2 hour intro meeting on Friday about it. Still so scary to even think about it.

But right now I'm just as happy that it's helping lower the pressures for my apnea already. Next thing maybe I'll be able to get off the High Blood Pressure meds.

Gasp, the 12 WAS my APAP auto-titration from a few months back.

I guess what you're saying is DO IT AGAIN?

And you know, I had forgotten all about your kind offer to help me with the installation awhile back. I think you may have a deal. After I get back from the T-Day road trip to CA, however. Do I need to bring my computer up to your house? I can do that. You know I'm so stupid about these things.... Oooo! Can I wear my fetching 18thC robe a l'anglaise and we can have a full costume night?

I bumped up to 11 last night. No headache this morning, but my allergies have kicked in, and my nose is running out all bodily fluids in my body. I predict total dehydration in 2 hours. And my right eye has swollen nearly shut. I look like a DV victim.... (you know I'm not laughing at DV victims, right? I work with them all day long. Call it black humour, but no bad intention behind it)

Cheers,
Babs

Actually, I'm feeling one perkier this afternoon, too....

I think Christopher Guest's CPAP prescription would be 11, wouldn't you?

LOL,

Babs I sure hope you feel better quickly, I hate allergies and I don't get them near as bad as a lot of people I know, especially my husband. Glad there was no headache this morning.

Got to share with you lost 7 more pounds this week. For a total of 50 lb since July. I've lost 22.6 lb just in the last 5 weeks during my health class. Can't wait to hear what my Dr. has to say next Friday when I see him.
