Day 83 -- After the second night at the Sleep Center

Got to the Sleep Center about 8:15.  I was ready before that -- stopped by Square 1 for buffalo sliders and sweet potato fries.  Really good!  Linda has everything laid out for me.  Got to sleep about 10:15 -- didn't really wake up till about 5 am.  It was a good night's sleep -- even with that "lip pillow" mask under my nose and all those wires connected to my body.  Thursday I will call Dr. W's office to get the prescription headed to Bay Care so they can get the machine to me early next week.  Based on the experience last night, I believe I have just started learning how much better and healthier I can feel.  We shall see!
Today was Josh's day to come over and swim.  Lee brought him and we had a good time.  Josh was on his way to tutoring, and we managed to work in a little baseball (well, whiffle ball technically) as well as a very nice swim.  It is so great that Lois (next door) insisted that the boys use the pool.  And of course, that thrilled the boys.
Lee and I got to talk briefly about where he is with all the unfinished business that has been swirling around his life and family since Josh was diagnosed.  I want so badly to help them -- and at the same time I don't want to make the way harder for them by making a decision or taking an action that they will have to live with.  This has been my struggle all of Lee's life:  I know that when he asks for my help -- even if it is to just listen --it will be a great experience watching him carefully and thoroughly examine all his options and make the right decision for him and his family.   He has been a long time getting here -- and is currently faced with the kind of issues that I wish I were powerful enough and/or smart enough to have kept from happening.  One this I am realizing more and more -- I need someone to take care of -- I don't think I want to find another life partner -- I just need to be needed.  Maybe what is going on with Lee and his family will provide me what I am looking for.
Tomorrow is another HRB class -- Sherry will finish the Amended Returns class.  I am really liking being back in class -- and the interchange.  Sure would be nice to know there the tax season is going.  Mike T. did a conference call -- good idea, and a good way to cover the double load that he now has to manage.  Maybe I'll get to tell him that tomorrow.
