A Tale of two CPAPs

CPAP comparison,
originally uploaded by Scott Childers.

Long term readers of this blog probably remember that I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a while ago and use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine when I sleep. This is a bit of an annoyance when I travel, as I have to carry it with me. Checking it with my luggage when I fly is not a smart move, as it could get damaged or lost, and then I'm stuck with no safe way to sleep until I get back to Lincoln. I've seen earlier versions, and the one I've been using for a while is a lot more portable than those, however; I still dislike going through airport security with my both my CPAP bag, and my laptop backpack. I want to travel light!

I'm currently trying out a replacement machine. It's about half the size, and I should be able to just tuck it into my backpack, along with my laptop and a day's worth of clothes! I'll be giving it the grand test on Sunday when I fly out to Portland, OR.

Wish me luck!
