Its 6am this Saturday morning October 2nd 2010. I'm sitting in my chair the only one up except the mosquito and fly buzzing around. Last night was great except I got woke up by my cotton mouth or something I'm not sure. I never know what time it is but I used to have an alarm clock right by my head. I had Brian turn me a little which was fine except the pillow felt a little uncomfortable. My by pap mask was working fine so I tried to go back to sleep. But I couldn't. I could hear Brian snoring. I used to kick him when my legs worked. Then the itching started, first my right cheek then my nose. My hands are too weak to scratch so I moan through the mask. Brian gets up turns on the light in the closet, [where are the flashlights when you need them.] Brian doesn't know what I'm mumbling so he takes my mask off. Ahhh relief, I can scratch now. Brian puts the mask back on but it leaks air all over. He tries to adjust it, bless his heart. Then he turns me toward the window a little, puts the pillow behind my back but its too big and bulky, just not comfortable. I try to explain but can't, so Brian tries to guess and move me over even more. No, I say, so I decide its okay. We try to go back to sleep yet once again. But that won't last because the mask leaks air, if only it was a quiet leak. Its loud and bubbly which tells me my chin and around my mouth are wet.
By then my bladder woke up so I mumbled for Brian yet again. He gently picks me up out of bed and into my chair. I roll to the bathroom while my thoughtful Brian gets the toilet warmed up. He installed a Bayda which has that feature! How cool is that?
That is why I'm up early. Its not 6am any more its 8am. I can't type fast with one hand but at least I can! I can hear Brian sleeping in the bedroom. I sure hope he gets the sleep he so needs. I see better nights because he deserves it!
This is general conference weekend, how cool is that! What a great day with the sun up so pretty.
I am trying to use my eye gaze and I am very slow. Hope its a long time before I have to use it!
Brian showered me today. [it feels great] Except I am too far forward so Brian is going to adjust the chair, or we'll get a new one. He also adjusted my arm rest, it was too high. This is my life.
