  1. I am scheduled for April 21st and to get the birthday gift of getting out of the hospital on the 23rd. I can't thing of a better present than to get to come home on my birthday and start my new life! Good luck to you all!
  2. I definitely agree with what everyone has said, it does take a bit to get used to. The ramp up feature will help you to have an easier time adjusting to the air pressure. I am usually sound asleep before it increases pressure so I never even know it happens. Make sure to use it if you get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, too. I hated the idea at first, but after two months, now I love the constant air movement. When I was recently sick with a head cold it actually helped me sleep much better with a bunch if congestion. Just know that it is normal to have some ear fullness each time you turn the air on and swallow. You are just pressurizing your head. Good luck and get some good sleep!
  3. I am not in Ohio, but am having surgery the day before you. Good luck!
  4. I am scheduled for surgery on April 21st and have three weeks off to recover and get accustomed to "eating" before I go back to work to finish out the school year. I am wondering how people, especially teachers, handle food and drink during the work day. Thank you for anything you can share that might help me out.
  5. I have used the Unjury unflavored in a smoothie mix (Unjury, 8oz milk and a couple of berries) and mixed in with Crystal Light. It looks a bit strange, but it tastes alright.
