I am going to ask about the pulse oximeter that can hook up to my machine, I think that would be good info to keep track of.

I am in my third week now and I am doing well. I went in for a sleep study because my husband was complaining about my snoring. I went in an hour early and got to try on all different kinds of masks. I found a nasal pillow mask to be the most comfortable to me. I was worried my mouth would open during the night and it did twice during rem and I shut it pretty quickly. I came home with my preferred mask and made all the strap adjustments in bed with my head on my pillow. My husband stuck a hook in the wall above me and he suspended the hose from a rope. I had him adjust the length and then I would move my head around and get onto my sides and we found a length the was just right. I have been sleeping an average of 8 - 9 hours a night and I am on the cpap the whole time. I can relate to the mask being pulled off during sleep. I did that with my teeth retainers. I would wake up in the morning and find them on the floor across the room. I wish you tons of luck in finding the mask that really works for you.
