Theoldgraymare...can you hire a night nurse for one night? He might be resistant to the idea, but sleep apnea can be dangerous, and I'm sure he'd like to keep you around as long as possible!! You need to get your testing done..for both of you!
My sister uses a c pap..she had the full mask for a while, now she has a mini mask that has two stopper looking things that fit tightly into her nostrils, I tease her that her nose will stick like that!! She doesn't snore anymore and sleeps easily. Oh..dogs (especially hers) seem to really enjoy the texture of the masks for chewing.. :lol: :lol:
I have always had a box of panty liners in the bathroom closet for a variety of things..really good dressings for still slightly draining abdominal surgeries. you can stick those suckers inside your clothes at any angle anywhere you need them!! My ex used them after two of his surgeries..way more comfy than heavy dressings and tape...doesn't rip every hair off your body ;-) ;-)
