Ms M was a lady
who obviously had worked tirelessly in a government job and was
highly organized, but in her advanced years and at the start of her
fight with dementia was forgetting things. However she was dealing
with sleep apnea and was off to pick up a new machine required to
monitor the problem. ($5000 item). I dropped her off and thirty
minutes later she called to return and on the way back she related
this fascinating story:
Not long after the loss of her husband she
went on a vacation with a friend. She had no idea that she snored so
while sleeping and snoring in a room with this other lady she was
obviously found out and when she jumped out of a deep sleep because
of the apnea she opened her eyes to see her room-mate holding a pillow
just above her face to which she commented calmly “and what are you
doing?”. This naturally startled the lady who obviously had other
ideas on how to stop her snoring. Ms M never had any problem
with that lady after that.
[true or fabricated I am sure it is not
out of the question]
