My husband went for the sleep study, it was done at the Foot in Calgary. He doesn't have sleep apnea, they call it Severe High Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome or something like that. The doc he saw said it's "the close cousin to sleep apnea but not sleep apnea" and the use of a CPAP is the standard treatment. They gave him one of the fancy machines to try for a few months. Then we found out his insurance doesn't cover it. So, bye bye $2500 machine. In the interim, he had been helping out the elderly widow of a friend, getting the guys multiple collector cars ready for sale. In conversation, it came up about the CPAP machines.

She gave him his friend's old one. Had it cleaned up, bought masks and he uses that. Like Pylon, we got jacked on the prices of the mask, until someone suggested some online place that I can't recall the name of. Why we didn't think of Amazon up until that point, I don't know, but I price checked against Amazon and it was the same price at Amazon and delivery in a couple of days, plus no S&H because we have Prime. So now we get the masks from Amazon.

The machine, the fancy one, will have to wait. I joke though, that I used to sleep next to a roaring bandsaw, now I sleep next to Darth Vader. The DV breathing is easier to ignore LOL.
