I Had A Dream

 My husband, Drew ...... HeWho never dreams (or so he claims) had a dream! I was sleeping quite peacefully, Eddie tucked next to me, between us humans, while Bo was at the foot of the bed under the covers by my feet. You will note that both dogs stay close to me. Drew tosses and turns and literally unmakes the bed, every single night he manages to pull the fitted sheet loose at the top of the bed. That could be why nobody wants to share his space.

Back to the dream event. I was dreaming, as well and thought I heard voices in my dream. But it was him. I realized that after he slapped me and Eddie! Poor Eddie crawled up on my pillow and was atop my head when I smacked Drew back and asked why he hit me. No response. He went back to sleep. I was mad! Eddie refused to get down from my pillow and go back to usual sleeping position. Instead, he went to the other side of me. He doesn't like to be close to the edge of the bed, but he also does not like to be slapped in the night!

I asked the next day what had prompted him to slap us in the night. Then he told me he was dreaming that someone was after him in his dream and he turned around and punched them. No wonder my hand was still hurting! Eddie got most of the punch and has steered clear of Drew since.

The order for the C-Pap machine went in today. The sleep study showed that he stopped breathing 40 times an hour in his sleep. I wonder how the dogs will like the noise of the machine, not to mention the mask. His lung CT showed no cancer, and we are both grateful for that. We weren't really worried, since he has displayed no symptoms, but it was good to know that his habit of smoking that started when he was in his teens didn't kill his lungs .... just his heart! 

Now it seems we have another doctor to add to list of those who take care of him. A general surgeon, a vascular surgeon, a cardiologist, a primary care doctor and now a pulmonologist. Aging sucks!

    Hubby used a CPAP machine for a while. We both hated it!

    Eventually he changed his eating habits, lost weight, and was able to ditch the machine.

    Drew used one in the 90's and has lost a significant amount of weight, but he still has sleep apnea. The newer machines are supposed to be quieter, we shall see about that.

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

I No Longer Care

  My dental checkup went well. He told me the bone graft will take another 3 months to heal completely. Then they scheduled my next visit with the oral surgeon to get started on the implant that will be on the other side of my mouth. Oh, goody. That will take 4 months to heal before the actual implant will be put in. Next week I will see the ortho about the shoulder. I have an idea ....... why don't they work simultaneously and do both procedures at once? Might as well make good use of the time I am under anesthesia, right? In other momentous events of the day ..... The temperature was rising when I came home, so I decided to take my jeans off and get something cooler to wear. That is when I discovered a lone sock, and a pair of my underwear had been in one pant leg the whole while I was out and about. Now I wonder if there was a lump showing somewhere on that leg and what those who saw it thought it might be. And that is when I realized that I l didn't care!

A Forever Commitment

  I posted twice yesterday, so the story is a little out of order at this point. We knew she would retaliate for the losing her opportunity to milk more money from my son. But the lengths she went to are just evil. My daughter and her son were awaiting their flight to the east coast to visit with one her friends. I forget where exactly, I want to say Connecticut. I can say for sure that it was close to New York. This was a trip they were both looking forward to. I was the only member of our family that was receiving the daily barrage of texts and emails from the evil one. This particular day was a doozy. The text I opened was a video of Child Three, sitting on her bed talking into the phone. In the background I could clearly hear the mother as she coached that innocent child to "describe" being molested by my grandson! It was very clear that she was coaching her "remember, you told me he did this or that". Prior to this, my grandson was always around their house fro...
