Missing Phone.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After making certain that there was enough Distilled Water in the CPAP Machines yesterday, I found that I had overfilled the one by my Recliner. When that happens, the water that should be blown out as a vapor, was blown against the Vent Tube as a liquid. The end result was the Air Flow was being constantly interrupted. Thankfully, as soon as my Neck felt like it had been realigned, I was able to spend the remainder of the night in Bed. Luckily, I had not overfilled the Water Tank on that unit and slept soundly.

I was surprised when I woke this morning to find Kathy laying on top of the bedding without her CPAP Mask. The end result was that she felt tired most of the day. When I mentioned that at breakfast, she did not recall doing so. Looks like I'll have to start taking pictures, just to prove it to her.

The one thing we both enjoyed today was the bright Sunshine, even though we have transitioned to Fall Temperatures.

When it came to lunch, we enjoyed Chicken Noodle Soup, which also helped to keep the Calorie Intake down, especially when we are not very active. That is something I hope to change starting tomorrow.

I had Planned on making a Stir-Fry for supper this evening, but with a late start, that will be shifted to later this week. Instead, we enjoyed Perogies for our meal.

We would later watch a few episodes of "Forensic Files", before watching the "11 o'clock Local News". This is definitely Fall Weather heading our way, even posing the threat of Frost overnight.

Kathy was about to go to Bed, when she realized her Cell Phone was not in the Livingroom. When she checked her Purse in the Bedroom there it was. It needed an immediate charging which also showed that she had missed calls from our daughter Karen and son Ken. I will try to make certain that she gets her calls tomorrow. It is important that she talks to people to help her to keep thinking.

Well Fed and Autumn Rains.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

When my CPAP Machines work the way they were meant to do, I benefit with a good night's sleep. I even noted the time on the clock this morning and decided to get another Ten Minutes of rest and relaxation.

The first thing I did after getting up, was to open the Balcony Blinds. Though all the pavement around was dry, but the Clouds completely filled the sky. Even though it was past 8:30, the Parking Lot Lights and Street Lights were all on.

I was checking "The Weather Network" when Kathy came out to join me, Ten Minutes later. When I got up to have breakfast. I looked outside to see that everything was well washed from the intensity of the Rain.

Listening to our Family Doctor's advice I reduced the dosage of Muscle Relaxers that the Pain Clinic prescribed. The rest of the day I was alert and not feeling like I needed to go back to Bed.

When it came time for lunch, I simply microwaved a couple of Stuffed Peppers that our daughter Karen and son-in-law Greg brought over on Sunday. When we finished eating them, we were the ones that were stuffed. There are Two more of these meals still in our Freezer.

From the time it started, the Rain never stopped coming down. There was just too much going to start slicing up veggies, so we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza for supper.

After cleaning up the Kitchen and Dishes, we found a "Murder Mystery" to watch, before the "11 o'clock Local News". Thankfully, there were no Football Games to delay the News tonight.

It's still Raining outside but that will stop early in the morning. The temperatures are now cooling off to seasonal.

Since our Family Doctor also suggested to continue taking the Two Muscle Relaxers that the Pain Clinic prescribed for the evening. I did that with our evening medications at 6:30 supper. As I am trying to write this Blog, I'm struggling to keep my eyes open. At least I had a brighter day.

Appointment With Added Errands.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I did manage to get to sleep early in my Recliner for nearly Two Hours, so I figured my time in Bed would be equally as restful.

I've mentioned that both Kathy and I have Sleep Apnea and use CPAP Machines to sleep. With my old CPAP set up next to my Recliner, my new CPAP is set up near my Bed I thought I had it made. One thing that really wakes you up Gasping, is when the CPAP shuts down, normally from a Power Outage. As I was sleeping soundly, my CPAP Machine did shut down but it showed the Power was still on. Kathy's CPAP was still working and she was sleeping undisturbed. It only took a simple touch of the button, for me to fall back to sleep.

The strange part of this mystery is, I was laying on my left side with my back towards the Machine and it is not easy to shut off.

Though I had set the Alarm, I slept most of the night and started my day by 7:30. After getting things ready, I had Kathy's Banana/Chocolate Chip Pancake cooking before I woke her up. She sat at the table just as I was serving her meal. We avoided having our morning Coffees until later in the day.

We arrived shortly after 10:00 for the appointment with our Family Doctor. He agreed with my suspicion, that Kathy had reacted to the Lorazepan even at a weaker dosage on Saturday. Since the MRI was ordered through the Specialist, he has yet to get the results but will let us know as soon as he finds out. I complained about the drowsiness that I'm experiencing from the Medication from the Pain Clinic. He advised me how to safely decrease it. My BP was 120/80, while Kathy' was 139/70, which is still better than the 220 she used to have.

We then headed to the CAA Insurance to check things out. We had been sent a letter, just before Canadian Postal Workers went back "On Strike". It meant nothing but I'll have to watch next year.

Next, with the Gasoline Prices being low this week, we stopped at the Pioneer gas station to top off the Car.

Finally, we stopped at Arby's to have something different for lunch. As soon as Wanda saw me, she asked where Kathy was. She had a Nature Call and soon joined me. It seems we do this a lot lately, we go into any Fast-Food location that is hardly busy but the moment we sit down to eat, the place really fills up.

A quick stop at Dollarama for one thing, turned into a bit more, but we were still able to carry it up to the Apartment.

With everything put away, I was trying to catch up on my morning Blog Reading but kept having trouble reading through my closed eye lids.

We settled for a Home-Made Salad for supper, only to find the Salad Dressings had gone bad.

After a delayed start due to "Monday Night Football", we watched the "11 o'clock Local News". It looks like we'll be losing the Summer Heat starting tomorrow, with the help of lots of Rain.

Kathy’s Reaction and Getting Charged.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

If you recall in yesterday's Blog, Kathy spent time sleeping upright in her Chair, before I helped her get to bed. The moment she lay her head down, she was again back to sleep. The only thing that I could think of that was causing this, was a reaction to the 2 mg Lorazepan Tablet that she took while at the Hospital. Later, when I spoke of this, she didn't remember a thing.

When she got up this morning, we found that we had not taken her Hearing Aides out, so they needed to be charged as we ate our breakfast snack. Kathy also described the sensation as being Off Balanced with the room spinning. As soon as I heard that, I gave her one of my old Tablets for my Vertigo Issues. By the time she finished her morning Coffee, she was starting to feel much better.

We enjoyed Grilled Tomato/Cheese Sandwiches for a late lunch.

I was trying to figure some way of charging the Truck Batteries without calling the Auto Service. That meant, we had a reason for getting out of the Apartment.

We headed over to Guardian Storage and our Storage Unit. I retrieved our Battery Charger and some Tools. After closing up, we drove over to check out the Trailer. Most of the Wood that had been tossed under our unit had been cleared, but I still found a single piece that I used my Cane to hook and get rid of.

Though I had Planned on cooking when we got home, Kathy decided it was better to just get fast food. We stopped at Wendy's for Chicken Sandwiches, small Frosties and free Seniors Soft Drinks. Taking our time we had the chance to People Watch. In particular, when we pulled in, there were two young men in the parking lot, usinga YouTube to fix their Cars. The only problem that I could see, was both were from different manufacturers. Lots of grandparents were also spending time with their grandchildren.

By the time we got back to our building, along with the weigh gain, supper and the 90 F (32 C) Humidex, there was no way that I would get the batteries pulled tonight. I brought the Battery Charger up to the Apartment, but left the Tools in the Car. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

We were just getting back on our Computers, when our daughter Karen called. She and Greg had been busy cooking up a storm this afternon, and were bring us the extras. We met them downstairs and really appreciate the Cabage Rolls and Stuffed Peppers they brought over.

We only watched a few episodes of "Forensic Files" before Kathy called it a night. Since we have a morning appointment, I'm looking forward to an early night myself.
