3 Weeks in the World of APAP

3 Weeks in the World of APAP
Hey all,  just saying hi as a newbie to this forum.   I like what I have already seen.

Also a newbie to PAP therapy.   My nurse practitioner talked me into an at-home sleep test and before I knew it I was staring at a line up of stryofoam heads to choose a headgear.  I wasn't ready for such a life change. I walked out and went home.  Thought about it a while, thought about the long term, thought about the wife, thought about some guys I know who are on a machine every night.  I went back and got my APAP machine and funny mask.  Three weeks in and I'm glad I did.

Also a newbie to OSCAR.  What a great piece of software!  Nothing against the green smiley faces on my machine every morning but I knew there had to be a way to see the actual data.  Presto...I found OSCAR.  Uploaded my data (just a week of it) and been having fun learning all about flow rates, CAs, large leaks, pressure and snores.
