MY BAD NIGHT

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.
