yea i know
i still might go that way it just depends
would only cost me like $65.00 instead of the 179.99
so i am hoping it will only be a short time. not holding my breath

Apria doesn't stock the Hybrid and it took them about 3+ weeks to get one and send it to me. .Got it yesterday. Guess it is time to reorder the replaceable parts so they will be here when I need them.
Nice to read with the mask on. A little hard to fall asleep with a new mask-not uncomfortable just new sounds and a different feel. No significant leaks I couldn't fix with minor readjustments. Did put the very thin layer of unpetrolatum at the rims of my nares so the pillows could slide and reseat if the mask moved any when I did. Slept through the alarm this AM and numbers look about the same as usual. I am deaf in one ear so if it was noisy I probably just put my good ear in the pillow and missed hearing any noise. My bed partner is back tonight so I'll get the lowdown on noise Wed AM.

If you are paying out of pocket or have a choice about the DME you use with your insurance and are driving to pick one up try Tracy CPAP Company on Tracy Blvd. I don't know if they stock the Hybrid but they have been good to work with-allow trying on of masks and have a thirty day return policy.

A few days ago I decided to take a little nap and grabbed my ComfortFull mask. I noticed that it seemed a lot more uncomfortable than usual and I had to do some serious readjustments to get it sealed. After a few minutes I drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up about 30 minutes later, the mask was really uncomfortable and I had developed a headache -- a rare occurence for me. I turned off the machine, unhooked the straps, and that's when I noticed that I was still wearing my glasses.

I suppose this means that it's technically possible to read while wearing the ComfortFull, but I can't recommend it!
