I offered to let her look inside the bag to show her.

I just thought that was kind of odd…. I don’t like the bag it came with and once I added some extra things to be sure I have, it really no longer fit in the case it came in.

I am looking into an external battery when I go to RDD in October because it’s fire season and they have rolling blackouts.

ETA: I don’t snore as I fully obstruct, so I simply try to die every two minutes for one minute without my cpap
Fully obstructing not so much fun. During sleep study I would stop breathing for nearly a minute as well, good times, I had zero clue.

I'll bet the case issue was about not counting it as an additional carry-on. I'd really like a "travel machine" but the reviews of them are so iffy.
I also found it incidentally as my doc was ruling out narcolepsy and I had to do the sleep stuffy— severe and AHI of 31 satted down to the high 60s… seriously trying to die.

Right about the travel machines…. Though I haven’t checked in years
