Still tired

Wow, still pretty tired from the over packed meeting in Florida. Got back to some snow. It was great to see the dogs last night.
Dave went to get a chest x-ray today, he's been more short of breath the last week or so. Just a checking it out kinda thing. He couldn't sleep with the CPAP last night. Thought he'd like the mask but I'm hearing a lot of people switch. He'll try again tonight. His hair is getting so cute and he started to shave his beard. Tonight is practice for Bryan Lubeck, tomorrow he has to leave about 2pm for the gig.

    I think you should change the name of this blog site to Scamp David

    I have to tell you, Lee (and Dave) that my adjustment to the CPAP (really Bi-PAP) was very difficult. I could only make it until about 2-3am before I had to rip off the mask. I think my case may be extreme, as a friend who just started swears by it from the get go. I had several issues (my numbers being 19 inhale and 15 exhale - which I'm told are high) and as well the unit switching to exhale before I was done breathing in. As well, there were a lot of stomach gas issues with the air not only going to my lungs, but my stomach as well.

    I've taken a break from it, but I may go back. It's not the miracle cure that I thought it was FOR ME... I know others love it.

    Dave has been able to use his CPAP about 7 hours the last 2 nights and he feels a difference. Seems like it can be a love/hate relationship though!

    Hey guys. I have switched maskes several times and currently have an all fabric mask which is a whole lot better than the plastic ones I have had. I still have issues because I am not "insinc" with my machine and I have a very high pressure setting and sometimes I make it all night and sometimes part of the night and sometimes only a couple of hours. My provider suggested when I first started it to hook it up in the living room and watch TV to get use to it. It does work. If you have a ramp feture on it use that too. I put a little lavendar oil in the tank, not a lot just a little and that helps too.

    Thanks Kim. It's sure nice to have the benefit of other's experiences with this one.
