Worst CPAP moment
OK here it is. I must warn you. Its not very nice, its disgusting. Please don't read it if you are prone to nightmares.
As some of you know I work 2 jobs. Yesterday was my long day . 7 AM -11PM. I was tired . My feet hurt. All I wanted to do was go to bed .
So, I get home , Feed the chickens and collect the eggs and head for the shower to wash the days grime away. 11:37 PM is my magic time. Its just a time that I use to determine if I'm on schedule. If I'm in bed before 11:37 its like extra points. After 11:37 I feel like I failed my mission.
The eggs are collected, I've showered. 11:36 Hurry. Time to fill the humidifier of my 420E. I pull off the hose and notice its still warm. X#$% I forgot to switch it off. I quickly fill it , switch on the cpap and glance over the bed to locate the mask so I don't crush it when I jump in. , There it is, covered by sheets of my unmade bed.
11:37 I reach up to pull the chain on the ceiling fan light and fall into bed.
I fumble around in the dark for a moment locating the Activa . It seems to be making a different noise. Oh well. I place it over my face and slip on the straps . It starts whistleing wildly. Never heard that before . I adjust it again. No luck. Now I'm thinking about all those posts I've read about noisey masks. What would Gailzee or Janelle do about this ? Where is RG when you need her ?
I roll on my back like an overturned turtle reaching for the lamp . I finally get it switched on .
I figure it must be the swivil snap that connects the hose to the mask so I press the buttons on the side to remove it. ........................................................................................................................................As the connecter departed the mask a GIANT, Humungous , ....................................................................................................COCKROACH was blown out and hit me in the face
He disappears into the shadows with me in pursuit. He escapes to haunt me for the remainder of the night.
I went to bed and had nightmares of Aliens carrying me off to the mother ship....... They looked like cockroaches .
Whats your story ?
Cockroaches like Warm, Humid, Dark places . Don't leave your humidifier on !

Oh chrisp...hahahaaaa.....that is quite the story...I bet you didn't get to sleep very fast after chasing that cockroach. I would of had to move out of the bedroom for the night. I like the way you told your story too....very funny...but I bet not too funny to you.
Feed the chickens and collect the eggs ...that reminds me of when I was young and we used to have a camp...we used to have chickens and we use to collect the eggs....we also had ducks and geese...which used to chase us and bite at our heals. I hated those geese.
Anyway, great story and I wonder if Wulfman can beat that story. Lets hear it Wulfman.

Nice thing about Florida is we have no cockroaches. I mean none! I have this on good authority from multiple sources.
What we have here (there, I'm in Richmond VA at this moment) is palmetto bugs! (Different name, same bug AFAIK)
The CPAPer formerly known as WAFlowers
They say that many asthma cases are caused by cockroaches ! Look out for those little buggers . Check your hose before you go to bed. Also, they say that if you can see 1 roach there are really thousands hidden out of sight.
Never underestimate the power of suggestion ....................
How many bugs have songs written about them ?

Hi chrisp,
Frankly, I'm not sure what you are trying to say on this thread. First you talk about worst CPAP moments and then follow it up with an erotic embrace with your pet.
Is this some kind of kinky behavior that helps you sleep? Is it some kind of a cult thing? Or are you only exploiting mankind's friendly little creatures just to see your name in the Guiness Book of Records!! If that's all it is, well shame on you! Personally, I think it's some kind of a sexual druggie sort of thing. Really! A cock roach?
Let's just examen the facts according to your story.
- for three quarters of the day, there you are running around having a good time. No thoughts of who might be missing you at home.
- slink back home and throw a few seeds to the exploited workers whom you demand they give their all. Then and scoop up their potential offspring for your dining enjoyment.
- finally saunter in the front door and the first thing you think about is hopping in the ol sack for a little hose hustle.
- you mentions chains that you pull. Do you also have whips to crack?
- you fumble around in the dark - were you drinking again?
- your bed partner whistles wildly to come hither and all you can think about are those sensuous internet friends of yours.
- wallowing in your unmade bed you dream of the erotic turtle position. Then flip on the lights to bask in the naked beauty of your loving bed partner just as she kisses you.
- having frightened her with the immediate illumination you begin chasing her in a heated frenzy to the dark recessess of the room to do who knows what!
chrisp, we've always known you to be a person of few words so lets cut you a little slack and give you the benefit of the doubt. This was all just a bad CPAP dream right. Say it isn't so - didn't really happen so to speak.
Are you putting something besides distilled water in you're humidifier?

P.S. - chrisp, that was great, thanks for sharing it.
