165. You've got the right brand at home.

Sat Mar 29, 2025, 12:43 AM

Saturday

The tech who tested me was very experienced. Thankfully she was willing to recommend equipment she knew worked the best because resmed had been working on it longer and had more kinks worked out. I've got the nasal pillow, my husband has a face mask, but just over his nose.

I wonder if they'll let you have the one from home brought up for you to use in the hospital? On the other hand, I hope you get to go home soon.

My husband developed chs about 15 months ago. It's been a journey. He's been in the hospital twice on the lasix drip, but it worked wonders. While it took some learning and trial and error, he's on an upswing now. (Hope you are not quite as stubborn as he is, so you get to feeling better soon and are able to stay that way.)

Sending you all the best.
