I am sleeping a good 5 to 6 hours a night, where I have not slept for than 10 mins in a few years. Currently after 5 hours I wake up so refreshed I could run the boston marathon twice. I still get tired around noon every day after waking up at 6 am.. But I am sure after a few more weeks I will be 100% I haven't had the machine more than 5 days. ...
It's great to hear you are doing so well. It sure sounds as if your unit is meeting your needs. As we noted in your thread, none of us should be afraid to ask our doctors about the choices they make in our therapy. We do need to understand the ins and outs of it. Some of it, as you note, includes us taking the time to learn. Some of it requires us to just ask.

But hope things continue to go so well for you.

jm, you asked if I picked my own machine. No I was lucky that Lincare in Livonia gave me the Pro model and not the Plus. I'm in the process of trying to get my wife the right one now... Good luck on the 17th that one should go better..
