Wife thought I had died!!

Post by scbeaver » Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:33 pm

I Got the new S9 with Climate Control and the Swift FX mask. My old machine was the M series with the Liberty mask. My wife goes to bed after I am already asleep. Last night, upon going to bed, she could not hear the machine or the mask. She felt vent air from the mask, but no changing airflow with my breathing (M series A-Flex 1). Since the vent was blowing on my arm it was cold. She did not know what to do until I turned over an hour and a half later. Then she knew I was alive and promptly went to sleep. I guess that the new machine and mask are much quieter.
AHI of 1.5 on M series
AHI of 0.2 on S9

Now THAT's quiet! (Almost TOO quiet...)

So....she spent an hour and a half deciding how to spend the insurance money?

Yeah, one night my wife thought I had died. I only found that out, though, because the "pop" of the champagne cork woke me up.

OK. Bad joke. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

My daughter came home late from a party about a week after I got my machine. She couldn't hear me snoring and came in and woke me up "Mama mama are you ok?" She was sure I had died or something bad.
