11-17 No More Snoring!!!!

ResMed S9

The CPAP Mask Larry got

Do you sleep with someone that snores? I do, Larry has snored forever and as he's gotten older it's gotten worse. There have been times where I have had to sleep in the other room. Normally I wake him and he will roll over on his other side but even that doesn't always work, sometimes I have to wake him up multiple times a night. Some mornings he gets up with a sore throat. He had heard about CPAP machines that are used in the treatment of sleep apnea. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. Some of our friends use a CPAP machine to treat their sleep apnea issues and they swear they eliminate snoring. He started to do some research on CPAP machines and found there were many different machines to choose from. The machines aren't cheap and you need a doctors prescription to purchase one, to get a prescription your doctor will send you to a sleep clinic for an overnight sleep study, the clinic will send the results back to your doctor who then writes a prescription and sends you off to purchase your machine. He did a ton of research and decide on the machine and type of mask he wanted then he started watching Craigslist for a used one. Lots of people end up getting these machines via their doctors and insurance and end up not using them, some of them end up on Craigslist. He found a used ResMed S9 with a full face mask. The seller came by and Larry checked the machine out, it only had about 40 hours of use and was like new, it had all of the manuals, original packaging and the carry bag, he bought it and has been playing with it for a week or so and it works great. Not sure how much it helps Larry but I certainly love it, no more snoring. After all the years of hearing him snore I now catch myself checking on him to make sure that he's still breathing. LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
