I can hardly swallow, because of the air in my mouth all night - and all the drooling got rid of any fluid I have left in my body :-) ! but other than that, it went better than I thought it would. They turned out the lights at about 11:20, and the last time I looked at my watch before sleeping was about midnight--woke up a few times wiping saliva onto my blanket, pillow, comforter...good thing I had 3 pillows...the only reason I left the OPAP in, was because I had to! Maybe I should look at it that way at home...I should leave it in for health reasons because I "have to"! The room was ok, kind of cool, but the blankets were nice and warm so, that was ok. They didn't say anything about sleeping on my back, so I started on my side-moving as close to on tummy as I could-then realized that is when the most drool came out, so I moved back on my side more...Oh...and about the MRD? He said that during the night they would turn off the pressure to see if just the device worked by itself. The pressure never did go off, :-( so my guess is that 3 didn't get rid of them completely, so they had to move up the pressure :-( What would be the point of moving it down, right??
