Post It's official. His and hers machines at our house. 
I've been on BiPAP for 16 years and my little bride became a fellow hosehead today. I'm hoping that she has the same immediate improvement that I experienced in 1993. She did the "woman thing" and set up her CPAP on her side of the bed and took pictures of the hoses routed over the head of the bed in perfect symmetry...bet they won't look like that in the morning!

Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Hosehead.  We're a hosehead couple at our house too.  Vivey and husband are also in the same club.

Post Update 
Little woman has had a couple consecutive nights of good sleep. For two days now, she has been in that "wow I had forgotten how good you feel after a good night's sleep" state. We both know there will be poor days too, but it's fun to watch her feel so good.

Add me to the list of couples... both of getting our hoses only 30 days apart.  

How about some ideas for snuggling after the masks go on? The ResMed Mirage Quattro we both use has a vent at the front, so if we snuggle we either blow in each others ears or in each others faces.

We have been laying on our backs and holding each others hands...

We have been keeping each other's mask on at night, if we don't the snoring wakes the other up. Now we just have to get Molly, our Yellow Lab our of the room; she snores.
