traveling

I have the "The Vest" machine and it's by no means small. But I've flown many many times with it, I just get there a little ahead of time and say "Look, this is about a 15-20 grand piece of medical equipment, I can't check it, I don't need it RIGHT NEXT to me, but it needs to be a carry on". I've never had a problem, it's slowed me down getting through security and been a little embarrassing carrying it on to completely full flights, but it's medical equipment, that's just the way it works. Having a note from the doctor I imagine would greatly help, one of the airlines said they needed a note, but I kindly told them I didn't have one and they needed to deal with it.

The main thing is I've flown dozens and dozens of times in my life and I always hated the "Getting to the plane" part, NOW I not only have my two carry ons, but I ALSO have the vest and my nebulizer machine, so I'm lugging around four things through the entire airport.
