I had an AHI of 1.0 and have never felt so comfortable and connected to my mask.
The amazing part was the dreams.
I had at least 4 dream sessions....that I remember...in color.
Not just color but vivid color.
When I did get up, as soon as the feet hit the floor, I felt like something was different.
I walked into my office and opened the blinds..........and
the sky was so blue. More blue than I can ever remember.
Even the lazy days going to college in Grand Junction, laying on the banks
of the canal, when I thought there could never be a bluer sky.
Today, it was.
As I left for my bike ride, I felt different.
Everything around me seemed to be alive and more clear.
All the colors were brighter and sharper.
I felt stronger. I was more patient on the climbs.
I stopped at the top of the 128 grade and just took in the feeling and view.
As I stood there and felt my new life pounding in my chest and
looked out at the FlatIrons, I just couldn't get over how blue the sky was.
I crossed over some threshold.
I made it past another mile stone in my recovery process.
I said a blessing out loud, for God and the Universe to hear.
All things for a reason.
If this is my reason for OSA.....to know the pain, fatigue, depression and despair,
and then to be blessed w/cpap, and to know, feel and live this miracle of recovery
......then I am truly blessed.
As always, my thanks include this cpaptalk family.
Without all of your help, I would not be living the miracle that I am.
For all of you that have helped, posted and supported me...
Salude!
