Chris shipley Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Crazy weather . Snow .warm . And rain. I seen all the devastating weather yesterday and day before. Currently we are are under a tornado watch...last year ohio had a record breaking 80 something tornadoes. 5 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted March 16 Posted March 16 We had a tornado warning here today too, very unusual around here but just got some wind and heavy rain. 2 Quote
Rob Peters Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Storms hit hard here today also. High winds, heavy rain, a coating if hail but even though we were under tornado warnings but none sughted around our house. We had taken our grandson to the movies to watch the Captain America movie. When we returned home we found the deck furniture had been blown half way across the deck and our Weber grill blown over and damaging it badly. rob 5 Quote
420ponies Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Heavy rain, and I think I heard a train chugging by as the storm moved out of the area. The wind was fierce also and lost internet(2 times), lights flickered, no outage. I thought my generator kicked on ,but that was the storm racket. 1 more bad area coming, we'll see what happens. 1 Quote

Rob Peters Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Strange, yesterday with all of those bad storms moving through our power never went off. BUT, this morning with no storms or wind at 5:43AM I was awakened by not being able to breathe because my C-Pap shut off due to our power going off. It was off for over 6 hours. rob 2 Quote

Scott S. Posted March 18 Posted March 18 That's pretty good.... It takes about 2 minutes for me to realize I can't breathe when mine shuts down. 1 Quote

cny first gen 71 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Guess I was lucky here some wind and rain but not awful, a few branches down in my yard but a few miles up the road trees and power lines down but I didn't loose power at all. 5 Quote

That reaction is from the C-Pap shutting off and immediately cutting off my air supply. It is very scary whenever it happens. When you can't breathe, you die rob 2 Quote
stangeba Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I wonder how many club members use a Cpap machine? I have for over 7 years now and just replaced the first one for a replacement. (I liked the old one better) 2 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I do and have been for probably 6 or 7 years now. Had one of the recalled units it was replaced but I did like ite original one better. Got a very small settlement out of recall. 2 Quote

They have definitely gotten smaller over the years. My original one did not have a humidifier. They also sell an even smaller one made for travel but I can't justify $1,300.0 to buy a travel C-Pap. rob 4 Quote

Scott S. Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I've had mine just over 10 years now, got the newer version last fall. Yeah, I liked the older one too. Easier to clean. Better filters. 1 Quote

My main issue is being able to breathe. I have severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea and I stop breathing on an average of every 3 minutes due to my airway being blocked because of my sleep apnea. rob 1 Quote
Scott S. Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Mine was similar in it's effects..... I couldn't lay on my back or the same thing happened. Spent over 3 years sleeping in the sitting position because the doctors misdiagnosed my condition. Finally wound up in the hospital where the head of Cardio/Pulminary figured it out. Lost a lot of weight and I haven't snored since. 1 Quote
Chris shipley Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 Never had a test done. However wife has woke me up several times because I snore alot. Especially on my back 1 1 Quote
Chris shipley Posted March 22 Author Posted March 22 Just now, Scott S. said: Does she sleep with a big, soft pillow ???? Big enough to hit me with it!!! Quote
Scott S. Posted March 22 Posted March 22 But not big enough to muffle out your snoring..... I hope. 1 Quote
