I'm happy to report the bathroom is in the 'finishing touches' stage as of today. Once it's all dolled up I'll post final pics
We weren't able to use the VA grant because we were too far behind the ball in getting things sorted out, but we were able to get a good deal on the work through a...
We've been checking my husband's O2 during the day but hadn't at night. He has complex sleep apnea and REM Behavior Disorder (RBD) and has been on melatonin and a "Respironics BiPAP autoSV Advanced" for around 2 years at night. He's been on the Trilogy on and off throughout the day since...
