    Hi, I live in Hendersonville, NC. Hope you're getting used to the CPAP. I have nights when I take it off about 2 or 3 am and try to sleep without it. I'm so concerned that I'll snore and wake my husband, that I really don't sleep very well without it. But I do think my overall quality of sleep is better than before I started on it.

    I have arthritis in one hip and will find out this week if it's time to have a hip replacement. I'm a little nervous about that, but I'm in pain even while lying in bed. I have to prop a pillow between my legs and another one between me and my husband so he doesn't have the CPAP blowing on him. Then to get the nasal pillow system adjusted...It's really rather comical if I weren't in the middle of it.
