Well, I did a Foamectomy the day after my last post on my Phillips Respironics Boat Anchor. It was a piece of cake overall. You just have to take your time and get the residual foam that is stuck to the housing that holds the motor and put it back together carefully.

In no way. shape or form do I advise anyone to do this procedure. I was to the point where I had to try something. Don't do this because I did cause I'm no YouTube Doctor. The foam did not come out in one piece like the videos on YouTube. My foam was moist and crumbled into pieces. Not good. I have an appointment with Florida Cancer Specialists. We'll see whats cooking. I'd rathe know and face it if it's bad news.

The machine was not one bit noisier than it was with the foam in it.

Suprise of surprises I got a call from Breath Easy in Leesburg and they offered me a RESMED 10s or S10. I haven't moved that quick in a while. $1185 out the door. Too much but who cares. I'm set for now and grateful.

Fantastic:
1) Dr. Diaz and staff in Leesburg.
2) United Health Care. They didn't give me the answer I wanted but their effort on my behalf was phenomenal.
3) Breathe Easy - Leesburg Gail 352-483-0911

The Dirty No Good Scoundrels:
1) Apria
2) Phillips Respironics - Dirty Mutts. They have hurt a lot of people,
millions in fact. Shame Shame Shame.
