Improvement, Connected and Running Around.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Though I may have rolled over a few times, I spent over Eight Hours sleeping in Bed last night. That was like a dream come true for me. Again, I wore the New CPAP Mask with the Extra Padding, only feeling it leek a few times. When it was time to start my day, I felt refreshed.

Over the years, the technology put into CPAP Machines has greatly improved to the point that it Digitally Displays the time that you are connected for each night. Kathy mentioned that she felt tired when she got up. Tonight, when I went to turn down the Bed and turn on our CPAP Machines for the night, her machine showed she had only been connected for Four Hours. The longer you are connected to your Machine the more re-oxygenated your Blood becomes. Without that process taking place, you become more susceptible to Heart Attacks or Strokes. After I mentioned it to her, she said she’ll try harder to remember to wear her Mask. It’s when she gets up through the night, that she forgets to put it back on.

We had Cereal with Raspberries for breakfast before heading to the Computers. The Weather Network showed we could reach 28 F (-2 C) today with less Wind. Just looking outside showed the Sun melting away some of the plowed accumulations.

Around 11:00 the Credit Union finally called, apologizing for not getting back to me yesterday. It seemed we were not the only ones, that didn’t check our accounts for a couple of months. Fifteen Minutes later, both our accounts were accessible.

For lunch, we enjoyed a Homemade Italian Salad with Onions, Mushroom, Cherry Tomatoes and Green Olives.

I was surprised when our daughter Karen called early. She still has remaining Vacation Days to use before the end of the year. She verified the time for my Procedure on Monday. I didn’t know how long it would take, so had to call the Eye Institute and Text her the information.

With undesirable weather heading our way for tomorrow, we ran some last-minute errands.

Our first stop was Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. We barely made it there Ten Minutes before closing.

When we saw gasoline prices as low $1.169/Litre ($4.424/US Gal) at Pioneer gas station, we topped off the Car.

Finally we went to Wendy’s to have supper. It was packed, but they were churning out the orders. It also gave us time to people watch, but then we realized what time it was.

I dropped Kathy at the front entrance to our building, giving her time to turn on the “6 o’clock Local News”. I walked in just as it was starting.

We followed that up with a movie called “Christmas Holiday”. Too many stars to list, but it was good.

We’ll just take the next Two Days as they come.

Not What I Had Hoped For.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After setting up a New CPAP Mask with the added Neck Padding last night before writing the Blog, it seemed to be a waste of time when I finally wore it. The problem was that the Padding fit over the Mask Harness where all the adjustable points are located. The Mask kept on leaking air, blowing in my Eyes. Trying to sit on the edge of the Bed to make adjustments in the dark was a waste of time. Luckily, I had left my older Mask sitting on my Side-Table just in case. With my Neck Pain on the high end of the scale, I thought moving to the Recliner would be to my benefit. Thinking I’d only be a few minutes, I was shocked to see Sunlight peeking around the Balcony Blind.

That meant there was only one thing to do, start getting things ready for breakfast. Kathy was a little surprised when I woke her to say breakfast would soon be ready, and even more surprised that I was already serving her Chocolate Chip/Banana Pancake as she walked in the Diningroom.

It was a balmy 23 F (-5 C) outside already and would remain so most of the day, but we appreciated having our Coffees at our Computers. That is something we better get used to for the next Five Days, until our next melt off.

My legs have been acting up, so we are Planning on getting some walking exercise in to help the situation. It was close to 2:00 before we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Mushroom Pizza for a late lunch.

Kathy was happy to bring out the Christmas Gifts that she purchased yesterday, to place under the Pencil Tree. Not wanting her to feel neglected, I retrieved the ones that I had wrapped last Friday, from the Bedroom. She was surprised that she didn’t see them before. I always put things where they can easily be seen, so they are not.

I was trying to look over our Credit Union Accounts this afternoon, but no matter what I did, it was not happening. Calling up the Office, I was on Hold for nearly a Half Hour before the system switched me to leaving a Voice Message. Being that they are open later on Thursdays, I was not surprised when they never returned my call. I see a good reason for getting out tomorrow.

Watching the “6 o’clock Local News” the Weather Guesser, verified the upcoming warm up.

We finally had Veggie Wraps for supper, just before watching “The Muppet’s Christmas Special”. A first time for everything.

The New CPAP Mask with the Extra Neck Padding has been adjusted, so I’ll let you know how it works out tomorrow.
