For janknitz

Post by dusty0318 » Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:24 pm

Thank you for giving me some tough love right when I needed it. I have persisted and now can put on the mask without a mirror.... haven't mastered doing it laying down yet. I have quit yanking the mask off so I could sleep.

Good for you!!

Keep hanging in there, before you know it you will wonder how you ever slept without it.

Yay, Dusty! I'm happy to "pay it forward"--I got a few good swift kicks in the pants when I first started, too. There was no way I was going to ever try going to sleep with a chunk of plastic strapped to my face. Look at me now!

I'm really liking the pillows on the Liberty. I think my next mask choice is going to be the swift for her and a chin strap.
