RE: 0.0 for five days, cool eh!
So, just wondering, is anyone capable of snoring in verbally intellectual sentences?
Oh BTW good AHI numbers despite all these little monsters running amok.

RE: 0.0 for five days, cool eh!
The little monster spent last night downstairs with a bad congested cough with the other half, so as a result I had another night of 0.0 
I think it is mostly down to a home made chin strap that does not stretch very much with a loop going round the back of the head to stop it slipping, which I always found to be a problem with chin straps. Also I found most of them stretched for to easily.
The only thing I did since I got the new machine was to put up the low pressure from 10 to 11 and I was getting some 0.0s after that, but when I started using this chin strap thing have improved greatly.
"So, just wondering, is anyone capable of snoring in verbally intellectual sentences?"
 That one went over my head!

The only monster I've got to deal with is Mom's dog. I sleep in his "bedroom" as he thinks he runs the house. We let him get away with thinking that as he's really shown his old age of 14 lately.

The dog will not change his way now. However, I bet the house would never be the same without him.
He is getting on a bit now though. The last two dogs I had didn't have a good end, so I decided not to have anymore.
The first dog was a rescue dog and she was a fair age, the second came with the other half, but as she had it I just accepted if I accepted her I would have to accept the dog as well. But it developed a skin problem that got worse and the vet had no cure for it, so rather than let it suffer I had to put it down, just about broke my sons heart. But I couldn't let the dog suffer, I hope someone will do that for me if I suffer as well.

Very true.
FWIW, Sinbad the "Bad Dog" became Mom's house companion at around his 3 month mark I think. He started off as Bad Dog, and that's not changed too much. He is a very smart Golden Retreiver, he's just about wore out though, unfortunately. Getting old stinks for dog and man alike I guess.
Oh, it seems like an afterthought, but it really isn't. Any more zero nights?

RE: 0.0 for five days, cool eh!
Spoiled it last night, I got the most AHIs since I got the machine! The mask started to tare so got loose.
I think I am going to have to make one of my own as the bought ones are to stretchy and the one I made out headgear appears to be to fragile for my big square chin and has started to tare in two places.
So after I can get out of all this snow we are getting (we are not used to this snow these days) I will get into the shops for some material to make a chin strap that will not stretch and not slip off my head, then I hope to be back in business. I was also sleeping on my back last night and with the chin strap not keeping my mouth shut I got a bad result! 
Bad night, so back to the old stretch chin strap tonight, just make it as tight as is possible.
Dave, the dog is not on CPAP is he?  It is a shame though, you get a pet and it is dead and gone in no time.
He will be for to used to getting his own way, you are the intruder!

Maybe your machine is trying to even out that 0.00 stretch.
Sinbad the dog sounds like he needs a CPAP with his snoring.

RE: 0.0 for five days, cool eh!
I had my worst night in years last night 0.7 AHI, I am not to impressed after doing so well. 
I tightened the chin strap a bit to tight, I woke up with a pain in the chin. So I moved it slightly, it was still on in the morning, so I have no idea what happened. I know just as I work up air was escaping out of my mouth, so maybe they were all at the end. I have been so busy with snow today I have not had time to look see, now I feel crap, I want to shiver, but I can't since I was in the hospital for a long stay, so I am going to have to go and pull my kilt up over my head to stay warm  Had almost nothing to eat and I think it was the little monster this week that has been nice enough to share her very bad cold.
See you in a week when I can get out of bed again I hope.
I can't get out of here either as the snow has ruts a foot deep or maybe more and now they are frozen solid! 
If it is not one thing it is another

RE: 0.0 for five days, cool eh!
Well well. A little dusting of snow.
Be safe regardless. And get that 0.7 down.

It probably wouldn't feel so cold if you'd just wear something under that kilt.
