Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 41 | It was switched out for the home model and my husband is very satisfied with it. He's still struggling with getting secretions out. We go for check up with surgeon tomorrow. Poor guy hasn't really been sleeping at all. He will only try in his recliner. Willing to order and adjustable bed. Any suggestions are most appreciated. I did buy him a wedge pillow
