Sort of funny CPAP story . . .

Post by Rich » Mon Jun 12, 2006 10:37 am

So there I am - away for the weekend and of course I brought my CPAP machine with me - can't sleep without it.

I notice that the table next to the bed is a bit higher than normal but don't think anything else about it. I put on my mask, hit the button, and I'm off to sleep in a matter of minutes.

Around 5:00am I awaken suddenly with a face full of water. Apparently, I had rolled over and somehow dragged the machine until it turned over. Never happened to me before. I had to laugh - talk about being awakened by someone throwing water in your face.

Dried off and then went back to sleep. No big deal in the life of a CPAP Man!

A few months ago I bought a computer holder to add onto an IKEA desk (it's called Summera). It comes with a strap for tying down the computer (you never know what a computer will do on an open, floating shelf, do you?).

That strap sounds like something we could add to our cpap travel paraphrenalia...
