Wonderful comments 295563, Ruby and Mike. So, like always, I now have more questions.
What would it take to think of the CPAP as a team effort, as a gift to your spouse to keep you healthy and happy so you will have those beautiful golden years of retirement you have been planning for? A gift so your spouse can sleep comfortable without worrying about you? Could CPAP just be part of your life planning like eating well, exercising, saving $$$ etc.? How about the humorous approach as noted in post #7?
