It's good to have friends.

Sunday, shortly after I woke up, my CPAP malfunctioned and gave an error message indicating potential physical damage. It did not go away on power cycle. I called the medical supply company and left a message.

Nothing happened. I left a second message.

That night I got about 2.5 hours of sleep, in increments no more than 30-40 minutes.

I left another message this morning, and asked Eliz to follow up. She got in contact with them, discovered that they hadn't a clue that there were any messages for them, and couldn't schedule their techs anyway. Each tech makes up their own schedule.

Around 6:30PM a tech called and said that he could be out here between 3 and 4 PM tomorrow (Wednesday).

I panicked.

Eliz, however, had a good idea. "Don't we know several people with CPAPs? Perhaps one of them has a spare?"

Sure enough, the first person I called had a spare. I now dub Liam St. Liam "preserver of my sanity"

Thanks, Liam. (He even delivered!).

I am so proud of myself. ;)

Just for the record, I have at least six CPAP machines at home, and if you want a new REMSTAR to keep as a spare for your very own it'll arrive on Thursday.

A friend who was a CPAP user died and I inherited all of her equipment.

Yes, please. I need backup!

(You were second on my list to call. Liam lives around the corner.)

OK. I'll toss one into the van.
