After our rather busy weekend, we were ready for a quieter day, but Forry had an appointment with the folks at Apria this morning to have his CPAP machine adjusted. Apria's Spokane office is located over on North Foothills Drive. After his repeat sleep test last week, Dr. Elmer wanted to try having the pressure set higher on his machine in hopes that would stop the periods of sleep apnea he is still occasionally having.
The Respiratory Therapist who saw Forry today was very personable as well as knowledgeable. She took one look at the face mask he has been using and said that he really needed to try their new mask. When she checked the record and found that he hadn't gotten a new mask for over a year, she immediately went to get a new one for him. The new mask doesn't have a pressure bar on his forehead and looks like it will be much more comfortable for him. We shall see.
We came home to the pile of laundry I have been ignoring all week. Forry drained the tanks and I started washing. I've still got one more load, but I think it's going to have to wait until tomorrow morning...
Granddaughter Havela called this afternoon and we had a good visit. We are looking forward to seeing her in a couple of weeks when Hesston College's Bel Canto Choir does their concert tour in the Pacific Northwest.
