jeweledvixenThe new med I'm on for gout makes me sleepy, so I tried to take a nap yesterday afternoon and ended up sleeping until 11pm. Then I stayed up until 9:30am this morning. I was sound asleep when the oxygen machine started alarming and the CPAP machine stopped working. The power came and went every few seconds for about a minute, then went off for good. I got out my back-up oxygen tanks, then called National Grid. Yep, power's out, about 1000 people affected, should be back on by 2pm.
I laid down and tried to nap. No luck. At 2:41, I called back. Now it had been changed to 4pm. Ok. Tried again to nap, no luck. At 4:30, I called again. Now it's 5pm. Okey-dokey. Just laid there until 5:45, then called again. As she was looking to see if the time had been changed, the power came back on. YAY! Almost 6 hours without power. Now I'm exhausted from lack of sleep, so I plan on going to bed early tonight.
