Sleep test results + had a scare this a.m.
The Nuero's office finally called regarding Larry's sleep study and confirmed he has severe sleep apnea and will need to wear the CPAP mask. I guess we will be notified by the company next that makes these masks and they will come to fit Larry with one. Anyone have any experience with these? I hope Larry can manage this with getting up to use the urinal at night. I suppose I will need to help him.
While Larry was eating his cereal this morning he started coughing. He coughed and wheezed and this continued for what seemed like forever. I was slapping him on the back and encouraging him to cough. I was thinking I was going to try the Heimlic next. It scared him and he was afraid to finish his cereal. I don't know if something went down the wrong way or if he was choking on his cereal, which is shredded wheat squares. Anyway, he is okay but that was scary!
I have finally gotten back to volunteering and will try to work that in each week. I really enjoy seeing my friends and doing something other than running to the doctor and exercises. It is a very supportive group of mostly women who are great to work with. The shop is Bethesda Thrift Shop, a Lutheran organization, which supports homes, health and jobs for developmentally challenged young adults. They are nationwide, as some of you may have these in your area.
Yesterday the weather was so warm our neighbor gave her dog a bath outside. It was fun to watch as he seemed to love it. It's about 76 today and that is nice but also can provoke a tornado at this time of year.
Have a good week and great Thanksgiving. I will be cooking but have help from the kids.
