Driving Dream and Echo Gram.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I was certain that I would be able to get to bed early last night, but that did not happen. Kathy had already gone to Bed before I finished writing the Blog, so all the lights in the room were turned off. As I continued making the composition, Kathy came out wanting to tell me that, she had driven to her Late Mother’s Trailer the other day without telling me. Since that would be near Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, a round trip would take close to Sixteen Hours of non-stop driving. I knew she had to be dreaming but she was convinced that it happened. Soon after repeating this to me twice more, she finally returned to Bed.

Twenty-Five Minutes later, the Blog was published and I was tipped back in my Recliner. I was not even asleep when Kathy started making noise in the Bedroom. Being that I have learned to sleep with One Eye Open, there was Kathy shaking my foot, wondering when I was going to Bed. The CPAP Display showed that I had only been connected for Seven Minutes.

I’ve mentioned before that when I have a bad night’s sleep, Kathy has a bad night’s sleep, last night was my turn. Once in Bed, Kathy immediately grabbed my Hand, but kept moving this way then that way, all while holding my Hand. I actually got a few minutes sleep whenever she lost her grip but was awakened when she again found my new position.

I finally woke around 8:00, having been connected to the New CPAP Machine for only Seven and a Quarter Hours. I barely had our breakfast snack ready, when Kathy came out to join me. As we ate, I asked her about last night. She did not remember any of that, she said she must have been dreaming. I miscalculated my time on the Computer, printing up Kathy’s latest Medication/Vitamin List, so before we knew it, we were hightailing it out the door.

Kathy had an appointment at the Windsor Heart Clinic and we arrived with only Five Minutes to spare. After registering, there was a Ten Minute wait before being called in. Today, she would be given an Echo-Gram, then be fitted with a Heart Monitor that she will need to wear for Seventy-Two Hours. The have come a long way and are no longer the big clunky anchors worn around your neck. They are also Waterproof which is good, because as soon as Kathy gets nervous, she sweats like crazy. In Two Weeks, she will consult with the Cardiologist.

Since our breakfast snack was long gone, we stopped at Popeye’s, to have a late lunch at 2:30. We were going to have a full sized sandwich, but when I pointed at their $4.00 Menu Board, that is what we got. Being that hungry, it was more than enough.

Kathy insisted on walking from where the Car is parked at our building to the front entrance, because it appeared there was a Moving Van at the rear of the building. The moment we walked into the Apartment, we could feel the difference that leaving the Air Conditioner on while we were away had made. Outside, only felt like 97 F (36 C).

We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for super, while watching the “6 o’clock Local News”.

We later watched a “Murder Mystery” for some entertainment.

I’ve got appointments for the next Two Days, so hopefully I can get some decent sleep.
