2000 Hours!!!!

Post by GoofyUT » Tue Apr 10, 2007 8:25 am

The last two weeks have been filled with lots of landmarks for me: The first anniversary of my life-changing heart-attack which turned out to be a blessing in disguise; the first anniversary of my diagnosis of SDB and the commencement of my wild ride with an xPAP strapped to my face; and NOW, I just passed my 2000th hour on my Respironics REMstar Auto (American Heritage Colonial edition)!!!

GOOD MACHINE THAT!!!!

Chuck
