Dear SleepyTimeGal,

The sleep lab disclosed that at pressure of 17 cm I was having 8.3 to 15.4 RDIs per hour. They want to see if 18 cm will knock that down to <7 per hour. The good news is they accepted my request to keep the Auto PAP machine, so I get to keep the good machine. The new SmartCard will set program the pressure setting between 9-18 cm. We'll see...
