Flight of Beauty 

Image
So one of my original CPAPman super powers was seeing beauty. As I was flying over the Rockies I look to my left and see this: Then realize what I’m looking at so I capture this: Snowmass, Colorado where it all began. Where I became a man. Or more correctly, where I left my childish things behind.  So I land home in Grand Junction and see some beauty that I had seen the year before not long after becoming the C-Man: Makes me wonder. Are the flowers becoming more and more beautiful or is my ability to appreciate their beauty continuing to grow? I think it the later. Seeing the beauty in an Iris is one thing, I am hoping grow the ability to see the beauty in everything. Now that will be a superpower that just might save the world!

My previous post was short and distressing. The Cman sounded desperate as his super powers were fading. The CPAP mask was not working. In fact, it was causing sleep depervation.

Struggling with the dreaded bunn when the solution crawled into his foggy and muddled thoughts, bobby-pins. Bobby pins of course. Could the solution possibly be so simple and inexpensive...

The Power of Gratitude

  It's been a while since I've felt like posting as CPAPman. A lot of the gifts I've received since starting to breathe while I sleep have begun to feel quite common place and normal. What a shell of a human being I must have been prior to becoming The C-man if seeing beauty and clear thinking felt like some kind of supernatural power. Been almost a year since my diagnosis of sever sleep apnea. The benefits of sleeping with my CPAP machine have been unbelievable, life changing, but still to this day I struggle with the mask. The nightly ritual of filling with water, relaxing with a book or blogging until I'm tired then strapping on the mask. Waking when the pressure cranks up and pops the mask loose and the loud high pressure stream of air leaks into my eye with a pitshishshshshshshsh. The struggle is worth it, but it is still a struggle. The nightmares that used to wake me all through the night when the apnea would get really bad are gone. More accurate is that I don...
