vest epiphany

hey all...

So I just discovered something many of you probably already know (but I'm sharing anyway). I've been using the vest for about 6 years. When I first got it it did wonders for me. Since then, not so much. I continue to use it but it stopped feeling like it was doing ANYTHING at all. At my last doc appt, I told my resp. therapist and she suggested trying a vest the next size up (I went from Adult Sm to adult med). I got new air hoses too (just for the heck of it). The difference is amazing! Not only does it fit comfortably (at least as comfortably as vibrating vinyl can be) but it's shaking crap outta my lungs like never before. I swear I'm coughing up stuff that's been in my lungs since last christmas. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

I just had to share that tidbit of info. And if any of you guys don't feel like your vest is working well anymore, change the size! Like I said it makes ALL the difference even if it doesn't seem like that's the solution necessary.

I just ordered and received a larger size vest for my son as well. He looks so much more comfortable now and the vest is lighter than the old one.
