Newly diagnosed questions

RE: Newly diagnosed questions
I second Big Guy’s recommendation of a hose stand. I use the Hose Buddy stand (very sturdy) at home and a collapsible stand by Arden Innovations for travel. I really like getting the hose up and out of the way.

TMI, probably, but ... in the a.m. I stow the top part of the Hose Buddy on a shelf in the bedside table (with the hose attached) and then prop a sham pillow over the remaining bit that sticks up over the mattress. This reduces the medical look of the whole thing.

I’m going the opposite when I get my new scripted hospital bed. Not going long story on you, but have to get DME 2 to supply the bed and air mattress, the back pain refuses to accept any regular bed. Well, the hospital bed has IV pole sockets, so I’m going to invent something to hold big coffee cups on poles. Monitor will be bolted to the wall. Remote control with the bed controls. When I get Hose Buddy or equivalent, it’ll just bolt to the bed side. I do draw the line at those hospital gowns though.

All or nothing, right? I hope the new bed eases the pain 100%.

RE: Newly diagnosed questions
I am sure it will.

OK so back to the cooking of ducks for not giving full PSG reports.

RE: Newly diagnosed questions
I hope I finally got this correctly organized!

All the gaps in the flow chart are from when I had to take the mask off to empty the water. I'm going to be getting the cover for the tube asap and hopefully the hanger!

RE: Newly diagnosed questions
Better but we would like to see the flow limit chart as well. You can move a chart up or down in the order by pointing your mouse pointer in the label part of the chart, left clicking and dragging up or down to change the order.

You can resize your charts to create more space. The chart height can be resized by pointing your mouse at the border of a graph until the cursor changes to a double bar with an arrow above and below, then dragging the border up or down.
