First week on therapy and doing pretty well
Well today is my first full week on therapy and outside of getting a good seal on my mask things are looking great, already finding that I am not as tired at the end of my day and starting with the first night I slept 6 hours which is more than I have slept in years!! I have been getting low 80's for scores and last night after trying a few things for a better seal achieved a 91 score WoohooSmile oh and my wife is very happy to be sleeping with me again tooCoffee

I sacrificed my beard and went with sideburns instead. I think I got a good deal.
