Sad, but we see so many reports here very much like this. There are competent DME's out there, but finding them seems hit or miss.

I'm sure she can. It's overwhelming when we're new to it. Partly because it's a lot of new information, partly because we're anxious about it, and partly because the sleep deprivation we've lived with for so long has impaired our cognition.
The good news is that all of that can be overcome with a commitment on our part to use the machine. Soon you'll be tweaking your settings and improving on the settings determined during your sleep study.

If you have insurance and are looking through their list of providers, be sure to check both "durable medical equipment providers" and "home health care providers".
They make a whole lot of money selling stuff to you, so you have a right to good service.
