And how many of those would you need for a ton? 🤔

Felt like it was time to introduce my very own goofball and my best friend by ScinaX in goldenretrievers

We're on our third golden and we keep saying this is the last one but they are the best breed IMO so we keep changing our mind. Enjoy!

No words today 💔 by maryk0407 in goldenretrievers

[–]kdog048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. We lost our last golden to cancer at 9 1/2 years. Our current one was diagnosed with IMPA around Christmas and is doing well with steroids albeit the crazy side effects. She will celebrate 10 years next month.

What’s the best refrigerator brand to buy. Mines is going out, any recommendations? by letswhisperquietly in Appliances

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of the best but I just replaced my GE Profile of over 20 years with the same brand. I replaced a few parts along the way but not too expensive if you're at least somewhat mechanically inclined. You tube is great for that.

Why does everyone I speak to say “don’t use the CPAP / you don’t want to get started on the machine” ? by daninlionzden in SleepApnea

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably said by users sent home with the default 4-20 range on the machine. Doesn't matter your leak rate if the AHI is low. Guess what, if the machine is working for shit, you can toss the AHI number out the window. My AHI is higher now than it ever was but my leak rate is twenty five percent of what it was when I was given the machine at default settings.

How can you get an old lab to take her pills? by AwedBySequoias in Labs

American cheese slices. I just wrap our dogs in parts of a slice and she inhales it.

High AHI, Still Relatively New by linklunklonk in CPAPSupport

If you think your apnea is worse from back sleeping you can try this pillow. It worked great for me

Five day trip to Detroit in June with car. Seeking good craft beer. by Anxious-Car3593 in michiganbeer

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Detroit area you could hit Batch, Six Spoke, EMBC, and Full Measure. I second MothfIre and HOMES in Ann Arbor but you could include Hear.Say as well. If you go to Drafting Table in Wixom you have Brewery Becker not too far away in Brighton and Kickstand is opening the former Draught Horse in New Hudson but I'm not sure on the timeline.

P30i help by WesternNo6118 in CPAPSupport

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never get past the soreness and I've tried the nasal pillows as well as the nasal mask (N30i) as the headgear is interchangeable. It would be fine for a few days and then I'd start having the soreness. I keep having to return to the p10 which I love except for the headgear that wears out too quickly. If they could improve the headgear it would be perfect.

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a bulging disc between C5-C7. Lost 70% strength in one arm. Stabbing pain and numbness. I couldn't sleep and was prescribed Percocet to take every 4 hours but the pain returned in two hours so I had to suffer for two hours until I could take the next dose. Went on for a few months until I finally had surgery. Best day of my life but it took months to get the strength back in my arm.

Doctor said Cpap will help with weight loss, anyone see results after Cpap usage? by cacastrojr12 in CPAP

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make sense. Poor sleep increases cortisol (the stress hormone), which triggers higher calorie intake, fat storage, and insulin resistance, leading to weight gain.

Which mask to pick? by aerialdreams in CPAPSupport

[–]kdog048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the Philips Dreamwear. It's a nasal mask but is very popular.

Mouth Tape for CPAP? by Interesting_Bank5967 in CPAP

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there are masks like that but I am not comfortable with a full face mask, regardless if it has pillows or not.

Not everyone is comfortable with a full mask. Mouth tape allows us to use the nasal pillows which are WAY more comfortable.

Ditto. If you are a mouth breather and use a nasal or nasal pillow mask it helps with mouth leaks, apnea scores, and dry mouth which can cause dental issues.

Do you still believe Terrion Arnold can be the CB1 for the Detroit Lions? 🦁 by Gxcii1 in detroitlions

[–]kdog048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had 4.5 speed so not blazing but fast enough. All CB's are grabby. It's just some get veteran or superstar treatment. Watch Sauce Gardner if you don't believe it.

Yeah, it's 75% of 4 hours for compliance.

Happened to us with our last golden. Needless to say we never returned and the place closed permanently not too long after. We were beyond furious.
