- Time of past OR future Camino
- May 2017
Hi all. I have been totally trying to ignore this. I have been planning my walk for two years. Have booked for May 18 to walk from Leon. It is my first Camino. I am a 50 year old Woman and began this idea thinking I would take a tour as I'm not the best physical specimen. The more I researched and found this forum my views slowly changed going from doing it alone last 100 with a self guided tour and bag transfer to no tour and now I have finally settled on from Leon and would love to try to walk with my backpack carrying my worldly possessions. I'm after the spiritual experience.
Late last year I was diagnosed with sleep Apnea and have been using a cpap machine at night. This allows me to keep pressure on my windpipe and not to stop breathing at night. Something I used to do over 80 times a night. Without the machine I was tired all day had a crappy nights sleep and snored like a trouper. This machine has changed my life. But it is about the size of a loaf of bread. Made of plastic but cumbersome. You see the problem.
I CAN go without. But be less than my physical best or take it and maybe have it sent on ahead. It is worth about $1700 and would be unhappy to lose it and not sure that it would stand the 'manhandling' well and have been putting off thinking about it as it is in the 'too hard basket'.
Any advice???
