Just a small follow up

Post by drj130 » Thu Sep 01, 2011 2:13 pm

Hello to those whom remember me. I'm still trying to chug away at using my machine. For the past several months I've been trying the Activa nasal mask and I've still have bad leak lines. I'll post if anyone wants to see the reports.

There have been many times that I've not used my machine (yes I know, shame on me) but living without my wife doesn't give me a reason most of the time to put on the mask. I know that is an excuse, but it's the truth. I know that when I had my ex-wife's kid with me, I put my mask on every day with out fail.
I sent an email to my DME in the states to see if they might have another mask I can try. The service with them has been 200% better then what the Army has a contract for here in Germany.
Anyone have any suggestions. I want the feeling that I had after the sleep study and it's harder to get my hands on to than a wooden nickel.

David

Hi David,
Good to here from you again. Sorry I can't offer ideas on any other mask. I still steadfastly refuse to use anything but the nasal pillows and don't worry so much about leaks anymore. They never compared to your leaks though.

Sorry to here you have been cheating and not wearing the mask.. You know I have that voodoo doll I used on the other David to make him wear the mask...It will be real easy to switch the spell over to you...both of you being David and all.
I am not above doing it you know..

Sending you a big hug from the midwest. Take care of yourself. Is there something here that you need that I could send?

Brenda
