The beginning of November is when I order a new CPAP mask. There's nothing sacred about this date; simply the first time that I ordered a mask without machine was in November/late October of some year. As the health fund pays for a new mask once a year, it makes sense to order at the same time every year.
It's just as well that a new mask has arrived as over the past few weeks the machine has been reporting leaks every night. This is probably because the mask hasn't been sitting firmly on my face because the strap's velcro closure has been weakening and frequently opening. Although the new mask has a velcro closure - that's how one adjusts the length of the straps - the hook will mean that I will be applying less pressure on the straps.
I'm not explaining this very well; the new mask, because of its structure, should not suffer from the same problems as the old mask.
Something strange: whilst looking for a picture to post here, I came across
the company's
site. They are offering the mask for 799 NIS to those who order from the site,
as opposed to the regular price of 999 NIS. I was charged 1600 NIS! Whilst
it's true that I don't actually spend that amount as I get reimbursed in
full, it seems as if the company is exploiting the health fund and charging
more than they should. I wonder who orders from the site - I phone the
company and verbally order; maybe next year I'll order from the site and
save the health fund some money.
