Mask fit better in some areas and worse in others, particularly across the forehead. Overall, comfort level about same as yesterday. Sooner or later you realize it isn't going to get any better, so you just suck it up and say let's get started, which is exactly what they want to hear anyway.
It seems today took less time than previous two treatments.
Brekfast afterwards, eggs, sausage, biscuits, OJ sure did taste good. And that nap after geting back home is awfully nice too.
Knocking this thing out, one day at a time.
