If the DME will not give you one just buy the cheapest full size SD card you can find anything up to 32gb will work, go by price not size

Will do!  Thank you!

They'll let me pick my own mask.   I'm pretty sure I don't sleep with my mouth open so I'll probably start with a nasal one.  

Thx for your input.

Excellent. 

If they'd make it a "For Her" model, it might be most optimal (as there is an option for a different algorithm with that variation). You might put in a request with the doctor for that one if there is time.

Mask choices are so personal (pay close attention to the swap-out opportunities/limitations of your insurance) that one almost needs to try them and see, but one mask that has a cult following is the ResMed P10 pillows. They are very minimalistic and have the most diffused air exhaust system of any mask that I'm aware of. Some masks spray you with a body-wash of air. 

My Air gives users very little useful data. It is OK as a snapshot if one only has basic OA, but it is very simplistic compared with the data from Sleepyhead. Definitely, download the latter.
