Its all good now.
I didn't have any issues adjusting to breathing through my nose when I slept. The forced air to my nose would do weird things if I opened my mouth, more comical than anything. But that part of it was pretty seamless.
I wasn't allowed to actually get fitted by the cpap provider because at the time everybody was afraid of covid and I couldn't even go in the store. They literally brought it out to my car, gave me some quick how-to's and sent me on my way. I think I got the fit pretty close on my own anyway. The machine reported zero leaks when I had my followup with the pulmo.
They set me up with a Phillips Dreamstation. Not sure how it stacks up to the ResMed, the ResMed is the one I seem to see more people talking about having. I can't complain about what I have though, it seems to do the job well.
