What if your wife falls asleep, and her finger loses its grip? You will start having apneas.
Yes, Granny, you just need to use the right grip. This works well for me:

I haven't tried that yet. I won't even ask how you got your hand coming out of your mouth

I have been using CPAP for a grand total of 101 days.
During that time I have had 2 day-time naps.
For the previous 101 days I reckon I had close to 101 daytime naps.
My only time sleeping without CPAP since I got it was for an hour or so during an overnight power failure.
I hope to be using it tomorrow night on a 13.5 hour flight from Adelaide to Doha.

CF has been here for years and contributes plenty. If you don't like things here go somewhere else and start trouble, but you won't get any backers for your crap.

How do you plug it in?

Most airlines have some seats with outlets, but you have to arrange ahead of time for them and make sure they'll let you use your machine - not all do. I don't know if you need special adaptors or not for the plugs.

Yep, flying Qatar Airways. I checked out their regulations and had my travel agent confirm with the airline. I am also carrying aboard a print-out of the airline policy, my prescription and the Resmed FAA approval print-out. I'm travelling business class, so all the seats have power outlets. I think the power outlets are the 'universal' kind, but just in case I am taking a US/Australia and a Europe/Australia adaptor.

Before I go I need to switch my Airsense 10 Autoset to Flight Mode, ensure the humidifier is totally dry and turn off the heated tube and humidifier. I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

One thing to watch out for on planes. Almost every country has alternating current provided at 50 hertz or 60 hertz. On-board electricity is usually 400 hertz. Make sure that your machine (and your surge protector if you're using one), is compatible.

Actually, should anybody go back and check, the original post warned of something entirely different:

based on your continued presence, it's obvious that you desperately want to be part of the group, albeit a despised part, otherwise you'd piss off and go somewhere else.

like the child that craves attention but can only figure out how to get it by unacceptable behavior, there you are, capering in the shadows.
