Hi Mickey:

They are taking a different approach with you. I have my 2nd sleep study May 5,1998. As of the 6th I also will be on a C-Pap machine (which one did you purchase?). I will also be on a warm air humidifier from what I am told. So far from the homework I've done I've chosen the ResMed Sullivan V Elite C-Pap, ResMed HumidAire humidifier, and the ResMed Mirage mask system. At present I have been prescribed the Flonase puffer to help with the blocked right nasal passage. I am told the humidifier will help alleviate the problem once I am on it. At least that is what they are hoping. Last follow-up it was questionable, as the Beconase I was on then only partially helped. The sleep study after May 5th will probably tell the story. I'll be thinking of you with the surgery you will be having. Hopefully I will not be joining you with this one, but who knows. Good Luck. Keep in touch, I'd like to know how you are doing.
