Post The DME put my mask together wrong (upside down)! 
I posted about having problems with the fit of my Swift Pillows Mask - it kept sliding off...kind of a popping motion.  I have used it for 4 nights stuggling with finding ways to keep it on.  Today I went to a web site to see it and it kind of looked different on the people so I changed it around so the it was the other way and it seems to fit perfectly now.  

The DME had only been on the job for 1 month.  I really liked him.  He offered me a lot of options and seemed helpful, but he was pretty nervous at the beginning.  I know all of these masks have straps, parts, etc, so I am guessing it takes quite a bit of experience to master each of them.

I have adjusted to the having the pillows in my nose - the 4th night was a charm.

I skipped the chin strap last night.  I will try without for a few nights and see.  Is it a dry mouth that suggests I need to use it?  Didn't notice it this morning.

I think it might be interesting to start a thread about the dumbest DME and what he or she did or didn't do. I'll even kick in a buck or two for the Oscar. Anyone willing??   Wink
