An interesting night.

Last night was.....er.... interesting....

Dean's gf from the Phillipines got online and asked me where he was, so I went and told him she was asking about him.  He got up to go to the bathroom then get on his computer, but didn't make it.  He made it to the bathroom okay, but when I went past the kitchen he wasn't at his computer.  I looked a little closer and there he was, lying on the floor in front of the dryer.  I don't know if he fell or laid down there, but it took both MV and me to get him up and back to bed. 

A few minutes later he got up and stumbled into the kitchen and I heard a crash.  Thinking he had fallen again (he fell twice in the kitchen on Friday night) I went in to see him picking up his 40-oz beer off the floor where he had dropped it.  Again it took both me and MV to get it away from him and make him go back to bed.  Apparently he went for the beer one more time last night that I didn't know about and MV managed to get it away from him.

On top of the excitement with Dean last night, I had another bit of "fun."  I sleep on two air mattresses on the floor -- or should I say I DID.  I had noticed when I aired them back up that one of them was lopsided but didn't think much of it.  Around 5 a.m. I was thrown into the wall next to my bed.  Between hitting the wall and the loud POP at the same time, I spent several seconds thinking I had been in a car accident. 

Once I realized I was still in bed, I decided to climb out.  This turned out to be very difficult, as I was wedged between the top mattress and the wall. Not only that, the top mattress opposite side of the mattress was about twice as tall as my side.  I fell, hard, trying to get out of bed, pulling off my lamp, CPAP, and several other items as I fell.  After turning on the light and draining the water out of my CPAP motor (I sure do hope its not damaged), I realized that one of the baffles in the air mattress had popped loose, causing that side of the mattress to suddenly expand, which was what threw me into the wall.  I was scared to turn on my CPAP until I am sure it has dried out so I spent the rest of the night without it.  Needless to say, I didn't sleep well the rest of the night and I still ache.

To top it all off, my CPAP mask got broken.  Fortunately I have another at J's house and will have him bring it when he comes over on Wednesday.  Until then I have taped my mask together with masking tape.  It looks like the bridge of a geek's glasses.  I may also have J bring my old CPAP, in case the current one has problems.  It doesn't have enough pressure, but its sure as hell better than sleeping without one.  If they think I'm grump when I get up now, just wait until they see me go a couple of days without my CPAP.
