@johnbishop- Greetings my friend! It has been awhile and life has been busy on this end. We are currently in Texas visiting our kids and getting to know our newest grandson. As for C-pap things are doing well. I too am a mouth breather by trade. but just cannot find a full face mask that doesn't leak for me. I continue to use a chin strap that look likes a old picture from the Little Rascals of one of the kids with a sore tooth! It's basically an Ace type stretchy bandage with Velcro on the ends for adjustments and best of all it works!
I've tried several other chin straps and have not had much luck. I'm using the newer Fisher Paykel Eson 2 nasal mask now after using their Zest nasal mask for many years and I reall like it so much more. My pretty regular AHI each night seems to fall in the range of .07- 1.7 with an occasional 2.5. My sleep Dr. wants me to stay below 3 and a year ago boosted my pressure up ftom 11 to 13. If I don't have the ramp feauture on I feel I'm being inflated for use in the Macy's parade!
We're watching the 2 young-in's while our kids are off exercising so I better help a little.
Here's to a great day and of course Happy Zzzz's to my friend John and all those who have been "rewarded" with a C-pap.
You may hate it, but once you get used to it, it will change your life for the best! It's also a great way to scare your grandkids away 🙂
