Congratulations!

If you have a recurrence during the night sometimes just lifting the edge of the mask and saying to your self "See/feel! plenty of air rushing by there, I can breathe fine" Does the trick.

That is great news! You earned it. Some people name their machines to make them more personal. Others have decorated or "tricked out" their machines with stickers or other decorations.

Make your machine a friend, not the enemy. Something to be enjoyed, not endured. Some will mock, but attitude can make a huge difference. I would be lost without my machine.

Others will read of your progress and be encouraged themselves, so thanks for updating us.
