RE: Recommend me a mask
The cheek pads dry out fast enough I suppose (a few hours). Admittedly, I cut mine off so I didn't have to wait on them drying. You can always get velcro cheek pads to replace them.

You can always get velcro cheek pads to replace them. Exactly my initial thought. Wanted to cut them off but was a bit sceptical of my Stanley-knife-skills as the pad seems glued on to the frame. How did you cut yours off?

So glad you are making progress!
You said "The only concern I have so far is on cleaning the mask - the cheek-cover/strap-thing seems to be affixed to the frame. I wonder how well it dries out after washing." If you mean the light grey bit that goes over the cheeks: once I managed to "tease" them off/wriggle them off, but it was a real bother to replace them. Occasionally I do wash the head gear and frame, but just leave them on, they dry easily enough.

You could, but I found it time consuming and fidgety to replace. And some of the stitching stretched a bit. I find it better to just wash it first thing in the morning and hang it up to dry. Only needed to do this a few times in the last year.
