Since the CPAP machine wasn't helping (and actually was making things much worse for me), once again I was wired up and sleeping with an audience. This time with a different machine (BiPAP) and the added bonus of a 12 hour "nap test" the next day–still fully wired . . . and still in my pajamas. The daytime test looks for things like narcolepsy and other reasons that I may be so unexplicably exhausted all day long. Ever the optimist, along with a quilt and my pillow, I brought lots of things to keep me entertained between the six scheduled naps: yarn and needles for a pair of socks, a couple books, a magazine, a needle-felting kit and . . . my laptop. By the end of the day, I had read a few chapters, cleaned up some files and knit the one inch cuff on the first sock.
What was I thinking? Just like at home these days, I couldn't really manage to focus on anything for very long and accomplished very little.
