The last week at home.

     Here we go.  Now partly what happened the weekend of the 4th, the trust fund came up.  She even spoke to his sister.  That went over like a carbonate balloon.  Just felt lead would have been overkill.  

     The pall over the house was now complete.  It was obvious she was doing little to help herself.  But she was saying she was.  

     I'm never sure if it is just purely pathological or what.  The ability to tell someone that is a lie, but profess it to be the truth.  Until it becomes a reality.  Well let's do a quick foreshadowing, that would suffice.  One night after her return to the rehab.  Took her to the vending machine.  She had a $10.  I told her it didn't take tens, 1's and 5's.  she assured me that she did this all the time.  In it went.  She got her purchase, let's say .90 and change in the amount of $4.10.  That is a fine example.

     Let us discuss sleep apnea a little.  I think the majority of people that do suffer from it sleep on their backs.  That is just my assessment.  It may be worthless, who knows.  But after a lifetime of it who is to say.  Now there may be other conditions, in her case her C.O.P.D.  It seems to me now that a majority of people over 50 now have what is called a CPAP machine.  It is a machine patients use when sleeping.  It forces oxygen through a mask.  It looks uncomfortable enough so that I don't ever want to develop this condition.

     Well she'd stopped using it.  You really are just supposed to use it while sleeping.  She used it constantly.  I think that was a large issue too.  I tried to explain the Dr.'s points.  Wear oxygen when doing normal things and use that only when you're ready for bed. To no avail.  She started using only the oxygen.  

     Look I'm not going into step by step, face it I don't have the tolerance.  She became a tad dopey and oxygen deprived.

     Sorry I just don't know how I wish to keep proceeding.  Step by step, blow by blow.  Makes for damned boring reading and writing.  My belief is that I have now laid the ground work.  Think we'll go back to the normal way tomorrow.
