personal effect of soft cervical collar

personal effect of soft cervical collar
last night was rough. we went to sleep, but at about 11:10 pm, our older dog had an issue with his sleeping patterns (which are getting bad). we dealt with that, but when i went back to sleep (the middle section in this image), i forgot to put the scc back on.

you can see the results. after i woke up a while later, i realized what had happened and put it back on. 

for me, personally, they make a huge difference in my therapy.

Wow, there sure is a big difference!  It's good that you can see the difference right on your computer.

It would help us for future postings if you changed your Oscar charts a bit.  We need to see the following items only, in the order posted, on your first page:

Event Flags
Flow Rate
Pressure
Leak Rate
Flow Limits

We need to be able to read to the very bottom of the Flow Limits section.  Thanks!  Smile

are you using a collar? some get the same effect from chinstraps, but they didn't work for me.

I use a travel pillow. I love it. No more regular pillow. Use the travel pillow in the C shape rather than the normal U shape - blocks chin drop and provides neck support
