Wondering how it went.

Catty-

Sorry to hear you are having this problem. A good night's sleep is worth a million bucks though, I hope it works for you.

We placed two temperamental wedgie Meezers with a man who uses a CPAP.
We were worried about the 'air' noise too.

THe Meezers didn't mind at all, and sleep with him in the bed.

Hi, All:

I consider the night a success because I did get periods of solid sleep. I didn't sleep any less than usual - and I did wake up a few times. The machine itself is quiet, but the blowing air takes some getting used to.

Also, I do feel a tad perkier this morning....though right now I want a nap! lol

Oscar...when my head was turned (yes I could sleep on my side), he snuggled on the pillow with his back against the back of my head, as he always does. Earlier, he had come up to me, semi-sniffed my head (or the mask strap), then gone to cuddle by my knees! I didn't talk to him, as you really cannot talk well when the air is flowing! I don't know why - I guess it's kind of like you can't pinch your nose and hum.

The humidifier is filled and ready for night #2. It's a process of adjustment I am looking so forward to getting used to!

Hi, Candace. I'm glad you're getting used to your CPAP machine. I'm sure Oscar will make adjustments to his grooming routine to accomadate you.

Oh, this sounds so promising already! I'm so glad for you, Candace, that you are beginning to get some real sleep.

Wishing you and Oscar all the best with adjusting to your new way of life.

Happy ZZZZ'SSS Candace, thinking of you.

Hang in there Candace, it'll take you a couple of weeks to get really used to the machine, and also a little while to start feeling the real benefits of it.
