my new side kick...

have you ever had someone come into your life (uninvited, of course) and kind of shimmy right into your happenings, whether you wanted them to or not? you really don't want to take them anywhere with you, but you've been "SENTENCED", and told that it would be for your best, if you drag them with you everywhere you go. so you give in and take them with you (even to alaska). and then they whine, because they always have to have a certain "specific" something. so, you go to, and scan a store (you've never stepped foot in before and know where NOTHING is), and can't find it, but you can't leave without it. WHAT A PAIN IN THE PATOOTIE! whine! whine! whine! then when you finally find it, and buy it for them, they keep you awake all night singing and annoying you any and every way they can! but the best is, that they then turn around and tattle on you if you don't do everything just right!
well... let me introduce you to "WILMA".
after i had the PFO closure, i was told i had 'sleep apnea'. i had a couple of sleep studies done, then was 'kindly' introduce to the annoying "WHINING WILMA"! she's NOT that cute (not to mention, she does absolutely NOTHING to enhance MY appearance {just ask don})! she is a royal pain! and... i even had to drag her all the way to alalska with us. (don was a good sport to have a threesome along, and also to have had to haul her all over in the airports). she HAS to have distilled water and we had to look forever before finally finding it in the store in ak.
that first night in ak., i took an ambien, before we went to bed, because we had to get up way early the next morning (and... to be honest, i have a really hard time sharing my pillow with her)! after about an hour of sleep, i woke up to her annoying singing and whistling. there was sooo much moisture in the air, that i had to turn her humidifier waaay down. but it was too late, there was already a river of water in her hose, and she was seriously, drowning me! and... she just wouldn't stop the singing (let me tell you... she does not have that great of voice! especially at that time of the morning!) finally... about 2:15 a.m., i was so, so sick of her! i took off the mask, and literally threw her on the floor! (nice friend, huh!?)
now the killer is ~ she is a little tattle tale! and every time i go back into the doctor, he takes the little computer card out of her back side to download it into my chart, and she TELLS him EVERY single time i misused (or didn't use) her! BUMMER!
i am honestly trying to accept her as part of my life, but i still, reaaally , reaaally, just DON'T like her much at all. (i'd post a picture, but then none of you would like her either!)
