I’m going back for a second night at the sleep clinic. They’re going to do a CPAP Titration on me. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, and it’s considered the first treatment in sleep apnea. They’ll hook me up to an oxygen mask of some sort and see how much oxygen it takes to …

The $250 hotel stay
…Or “How Kevin went to a sleep study”. Well, my snoring, apnea, restlessness, and sleeplessness finally convinced me through Laureen’s gentle prodding to go get a sleep study done. Wouldn’t you know it, Richardson Regional Hospital has a sleep/wake clinic! In the same building as my dentist! I make an appointment, then reschedule due to …
Jacob
A few days ago, Jacob showed us that the light in our bedroom (which is controlled by a remote control), also functions as a rheostat. We’d never thought to try to do anything like hold the button down… he takes the remote, holds down the button, and there go the lights… dim…bright… I am ashamed …

And today
…the freezer in our garage goes out, spoiling a lot of frozen leftovers, packaged meat, and frozen ready-to-eat food awaiting Jessie in May… It’s just keeps coming.

Let’s see… last night, had dinner with Laureen and Jacob at Zuzu’s. Normally, I love Zuzu’s. But last night, it didn’t love me. Spent a good portion of time last night making trips to the bathroom.
