Sleep Test

I needed to get another sleep test to get a new CPAP.  I am allowed by OHIP and my insurance to get a new CPAP every five years but I need a prescription from a sleep doctor.  I have to go in to a clinic and get all wired up and sleep at the clinic over night while they take readings of various pressures on the CPAP.  I was just entering the clinic at 9 pm on a Thursday night and my cellphone rang.  It was Will Lowe, a pitcher from Ottawa, who said he wanted to play for us in the tournament in Richmond Hill that started the next day.  He said he was trying to get a ride with Will Dunk.  I said we could use him and he could come.  Then I went in to the sleep clinic and Will Dunk texted me asking why Will Lowe was texting and phoning him and if he was coming to play too.  I said he would only come if Dunk wanted to have him there and to drive him there.  I got all hooked up at 11 pm and tried to get to sleep but couldn't sleep.  At 2 am, I asked the technician to come in and get me a sleeping pill.  Then the next day, they woke me up at 6 am to hustle me out of the clinic because they needed my parking spot.
