at the moment I'm in love with my asv machine - i slept 14

Post by johnthomasmacdonald » Sun May 05, 2013 6:38 pm

hours - last night - that's FOURTEEN HOURS - and my poor doggies hung in there and didn't have any accidents although i wouldn't have been annoyed if they had - and they are both old dogs and the german shepherd has diabetes insipidus so the poor guy doesn't concentrate urine and always pees a flood

I don't think I've ever slept that long when i wasn't ill or hadn't been up all night the night before - i slept fine on friday night

my ahi was around 2 something

Congratulations John...I guess you know that the aliens will read this and pay you a visit tonight.

Just keep telling yourself...this can work...this can work...I did it once. I can do it again.

Pugsy why don't you invite the aliens to stay for dinner, maybe they'll leave John alone for another night -- c'mon, he deserves a break!
Good news John, I'm happy for you.

They never listen to me. I have an AHI 8.33 night to prove it. They do what they please.
They haven't been at my house since last week so I don't know where they are but I know those pesky little devils..they really like to mess with John. They know they can so much more fun with him than me.
They love to read the forum and watch for when someone has a really good night...brags a little...and off they go to pay the unlucky soul a visit.
They especially like to go visit John every chance they get.

The aliens spent two nights with me this week. You are right Pugsy, they read the forums! I believe they will visit khauser tonight!

That's great news, John. I know it's been a long trip for you, but hopefully the good results are in sight.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

I was just thinking the very same thing.
I tell you, it never fails. We brag and jinx ourselves. That's why I don't brag very often because all to often the very next night is coyote ugly.

one good thing that i'll try to hang on with is that NO matter how bad things go in the future, they can't take back last night

Good for you!

You've done a yeoman's job of learning about central apnea and how to manage it with ASV therapy ... And the reward is the wonderful night of sleep.

Good for you!

Isn't that the truth. A few months ago, I bragged about 5 nights of really good sleep in a row. My next night was crap.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?
