As I posted earlier, my sleep doctor ordered me a new humidifer and new mask — the company he ordered it from is new to me — Hope Home Medical.
It is covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield, and it was delivered today. The respiratory therapist is really good and really nice, and come to find out is the son-in-law of one of my absolute favorite now retired teachers.
Come to find out the new humidifier has only been out for 6 weeks and was on back order as soon as it came out. It’s very small, and adds very little to the size–I believe it will still fit in the original travel bag. It takes a whole lot less water, and the water holder is dishwasher safe.
The other added plus, is that the CPAP hooks up directly to the humidifier, reducing the need for a extra hose. We’ll see how it does at night. The biggest problem with CPAP humidifier is rain out — you wake up with water over your face and water popping down the hose.
I’ll also have less clutter next to the bed!
