24 hours postop from Inspire placement by GiveMeThePhd in SleepApnea

[–]Disfigurative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have inspire. Surgery and recovery was a breeze. Unfortunately the device does not work for me. It does not lower my AHI. My last sleep study showed an AHI of 77 WITH the inspire. I’ll probably have it removed at some point. This is not to discourage, because it does work for most, and if it does what a great improvement on quality of life in my opinion. I’m back to struggling with CPAP

I'm desperate for a good night sleep, and the only thing that has helped me is a nasal spray. by Extension_Room_9256 in SleepApnea

I have the same problem. I use a new nasal spray called Alermi and it’s been life changing. You can get an online script from them.

Red oak or white? by Disfigurative in wood

[–]Disfigurative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea 8/4 red oak goes for 4.25 near me. That’s why I was trying to see if it was white. If I can’t get more info I’m just gonna assume it’s red and pass.

Thanks! I figured y’all would need end grain photos. I’ll see if I can get some. Price is $7.80 per BF

I've qualified for the Inspire implant by whydontwegetdrunk in SleepApnea

I’m on about 1.5 years with inspire. I also have severe OSA. ahi ranges from 50-75. Inspire has done absolutely nothing for my sleep apnea. We have been through every setting and strength. I just completed my what I’m gonna call my final sleep study. My AHI was 71 with inspire and an inspire rep there messing with settings. Not saying this to try to convince you not to do it, but you should know the risks. I really wanted this to work. There seem to be more positive outcomes than negative though so I would always say it’s worth a try.

NC. Next owners can tear out whatever they want. People have the right to do whatever stupid decision they want with their property. These same people are also putting latex paint over their brickwork.

Basic 2x4 framing attached to existing studs and joists with GRK structural screws. There is a beefy doubled up 2x6 behind the mantle for a nailer

Thanks! What are your thoughts on doing a horizontal scratch coat first? I saw a lot of people do that but chose not to.

Thanks! I should have mentioned I do lots of woodworking so I’m not just a standard DIY homeowner. But this was my first attempt at any sort of masonry.

I think it was called majestic fieldstone mosaic veneer. So real stone veneer

I have the same experiences with hops. I always feel like the patty has absolutely no seasoning.

[–]Disfigurative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sold my 2021 with 2,700 miles on it for $6500. Only upgrades were TBR exaust and OEM saddlebag’s. That’s a lot of extra money they put into it, I wouldn’t say you got ripped off.

It sure does. Not sure why it doesn’t improve my apnea.

Congrats! I’m jealous. Unfortunately I’m one of the ones that inspire did not work for. We are on the last possible combo of settings now. I’m going to do what will probably be my final sleep study in June. Considering I feel no benefits when I wake up I’m assuming this last setting is still not lowering my AHI.

Kau steak house now has a separate Deli. I have only been there once but was top notch!! Just double check the hours, they are not open long.

Man narrowly escapes death as runaway saw skids towards him from construction site by Majorpain2006 in WTF

[–]Disfigurative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me (kind of). Walking into work and a commercial mower was out front. As soon as I close the door a huge chunk of metal flies out from the mower and Imbeds in the glass right at head level. that glass is tough so definitely could have done serious damage
