I came back Tues from more testing at methodist. I never used my cpap til I got home. I tried it at night and it stunk aweful and sounded bad. They had put water in the chamber so then the tubing was also full of water. Somehow I have to clean and empty it. I think I'm going to pay $35 for a whole new set instead.
I have a CPAP, too! I found mine stunk at first and with no water in the water container. Of course, I've head it a year now and it seems to be working okay. No stink. If there is, I don't notice it anymore.

Where my cats are
We had a family of squirrels here today and the little hooligans tore the netting on my finch sock!! There were 4-5 of them chasing each other around and exploring the yard. I do have a squirrel feeder and i don’t mind when they are on the ground below the bird feeder. But geeze! They don’t usually mess with the other shepherds hook that had my finch sock and a potted plant. One was in the hanging pot like it was a swing or something! :lol:

We rarely get more than one or two at a time too. So I suspect some were babies of one of them. They weren’t big to me. But gosh they aren’t supposed to like thistle! Wasted a good bit too. Now I need to order another feeder. :rolleyes2:

I called the company Apria. The specialist suggested a new machine and writing a complaint to the hospital! I can use it now after cleaning it but gives a loud buzzing noise. Nurses should have known better

I just hope it wasn’t mold/mildew in there. That would be downright dangerous!

Vicariously enjoying other people’s cats. My sister has two that need oil cans. Both are tiny and stunted but quite vociferous, only, they sound like rusty toy whistles. Why is it teeny kitties have such squeaky voices?
Dunno, but one of my big, ol' (former) tom cats has the tiniest, squeakiest meow that I've ever heard! I KNOW he tops 10 pounds, he's BIG, not fat, but he SQUEAKS! For the record, he squeaked when he still had his...um...OOs, too.

Ah! So it’s BIG kitties, too! Some up and coming vet needs to do a dissertation on Cat Squeak. :lol: Maybe it’s a genetic thing. Whatever it is, it’s adorable.

I don't remember how

And yes, it works.
