If I Had Half A Brain ..... It Would Be Lonesome
I actually went to bed last night and slept the entire night on VPAP w/o 02 AND w/o a cap on the nipple for the 02 tubing bleed in. Just that nice opening on the adapter w/no cap on it, open to the whole wide world. Nice, eh?? Sheesh!

I've done that, too. The mask I'm wearing has a port for O2, but the cap covering it tends to come off- I usually glue ti on. Of course you can't do that. I hope you feel ok today, Judy.

I must be numb. I didn't feel any different yesterday than the day before or today. My brain probably just isn't registering the difference. I went in town and had my INR blood draw, then on to have a hair cut, then stopped at Taco Bell for a Nacho Supreme, no sour cream, and a Senior Pepsi.
I managed to do things right last night: 2L of 02 turned on and properly bled in to my VPAP, mask on, VPAP turned on. I don't feel any different than yesterday or the day before. I'll download my data in a few minutes to see what THAT has to say.
Thanks, MaryZ. Its nice to know others make the same mistake occasionally too.
