So my plan if I decide after 1-2 months to continue with cpap therapy is to purchase outright online and return the rental. All the cost-saving measures the ins co's implement, and this one is such a no-brainer and they overlook it! I could be a little more supportive if the current system increased compliance, but it doesn't. Such a waste!

BTW, what does "Inc" in your handle stand for? I keep thinking incorporated, which is cute (and amuses me) but I think it's likely something else.

I didn't use it last night. I decided since I have a full day of clients not to take the inherent risks of a first night with something very new. Thursday is a much easier day in case I should have a 'strong adjustment' night, so I'll take the plunge tonight. Thanks in advance for all the well-wishes I can practically see speeding my way.

Too bad it's a rental. I think it needs some bling...way too utilitarian-looking.

I'm going to copy my questions here, so hopefully they won't get buried:
So if I read the card myself, the DME won't be able to get the info? Does the card take as much info as is in the machine each time or does it know where it left off last time? And so, if I want detailed data I have to insert the card and read it at least every 5 days?
So...... how did last night go? Any questions/comments? We are all here to help.
