People who can use pillows seem to love them. If they sleep like me with face turned down towards the pillow, anything but pillows is easily pushed out of alignment. I missed out on my mask fitting appointment, it was supposed to be Tuesday before my sleep study, then they called me Friday and asked me to reschedule my sleep study with CPAP to Sunday. "What about my mask fitting next week, isn't that supposed to come before my study?" "Oh, you don't need that, the sleep tech will find a mask that works" (in other words, yes, we like to charge your insurance for the fitting appointment, but we really want a paying body in that bed Sunday night, so screw it) Then, when my DME wanted to schedule a fitting, I stupidly blurted out "the sleep tech said I'd get the same mask we used in the study" and she said "I can give you one of those". So, by quirk of fate and my own foolishness, I totally missed out on the part where they try several masks on you to find the best one for you. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
