Kay, thaks for your response.  Yes, with your physical problems you don't nneed to be lifting all those boxes!  I'v been on CPAP for nearly three years and have yet to get my numbers under control, very frustratings.  Glad you found a mask that works for you.

My apologies to Sleep Guide for not participating in a long time. In January 2012 I started classes at the local community college (my husband is an instructor there, and my tuition is refunded when my grades are above a C. My grade point currently is 3.7 so no problem there! Not too shabby for a now almost 71-year-old broad!)

In October 2013 I had a total knee replacement. This past July I had a routine endoscopy and colonoscopy; a large polyp located in a difficult-to-get-to area was biopsied and needs removal. Should get a call tomorrow to get it scheduled. I took this semester off from school because anesthesia makes me loopy for 3-6 weeks after a procedure. 

The good news is that my AHI is down from 2.5-3 to 1-1.3. I modified my Ultimate Chin Strap so that it fits better. I changed to the Swift FX for her nasal pillows and they're working well.

Prior to my knee surgery I lost 20 pounds, but the past three months have had a sweet tooth and gained back half of it. Gotta pull out the essay I wrote for a comp class and follow my own instructions to get back to losing weight.

Thank you all for being here. The advice from other CPAP users is invaluable.

Kay, I haven't been around myself and miss the old, active forum.
