Sheila, you siad Peter had issues with his mask, I use the same mask a Resmed Mirage Quattro, a full face mask, a couple of things that I find that helps which you two may already be doing is use mask liners, they help seal the mask, they stop or cut down marking and slipping and make it much more comfortable rather than having silicone touching your skin. You can buy them if Peter doesnt already have them or I can give you the instructions on how to make them which is much cheaper. Also I think Kath has already suggested it but have the hose coming from above his head not besides him, the gravity pulls the mask up and saves getting tangled, you can buy a hose lift or if he has a bed head try hanging it from over the top or possible get one made, I made one myself that suits where my CPAP sits. Hope we can help Peter with suggestions.

Shelia, Kath sells them if she has them in stock or you could get one over the net, the hospitals should supply them when someone gets a machine.

Sheila, in Australia if we go public we have to wait for years, so I have private health insurance, it cost but I get things when I want or need them.
