Do I have a mask record?

Post by JeffL » Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:34 am

I wasn't trying to set a record, I just couldn't see throwing away something that worked perfectly fine. But last night, after 2 years, 3 months, and two weeks, my original FX nasal mask developed a small tear around the area that hooks onto the metal retaining washer type thing.

As long as it doesn't impact your therapy, go for it!
Now if you're just being cheap; don't you think you deserve something new?

Between Medicare and my insurance, it doesn't cost me anything. I've just never been one to discard anything that still works.

My husband paid to have new soles put on a pair of boots that had holes in the tops. I called them his boot sandals.

After 3 and half years of using my Quattro FFM I finally convinced the supplier to sell me a new cushion. She has regularly checked it over the years and said I really didn't need to replace it but it if made me feel happy then I should do it!
She thought it was in such good condition because of regular cleaning and always using a Remzzz liner.
My data has not changed since I have had the new cushion - still averaging at 0.8
