Before I was diagnosed with MS, I was a truck driver pulling doubles up and down the east coast.  One night I dropped a couple of trailers in our yard in Columbus Ohio and proceeded to the hotel to catch a few hours of sleep. This was one of those times I actually got to sleep at night for a change instead of the middle of the day like it usually turned out to be. It usually easier to sleep at night unless I'm extremely tired and worn out. Anyhow I got to the Ramada and checked in and went to my room and proceeded to get some much needed sleep. Sometime during the night I happened to wake up ( partially anyway) and got out of bed and stumbled my way to the bathroom. I was feeling my way around the room, since I didn't see the need to turn the lights on and risk blinding myself, making my way towards the bathroom, when suddenly I heard the distinct sound of a door shutting behind me. My eyes instantly widened to the size of dinner plates. I was instantly wide awake as I realized to my profound horror that I had inadvertently locked myself out of my room. Now here I was standing in the hallway of a Ramada Inn after midnight and I didn't have a stitch of clothing on. That's right, go ahead and laugh yourself silly now. It wasn't funny at the time but I can laugh about it now.  Now where was I, let's see now, door locked, horror, dinner plates, oh yeah here we are.  Now here I was, standing in the hallway completely naked wondering what the hell I was going to do now. Turning the knob doesn't do anything, it's still locked. Well then, the only thing to do was to walk down to the checkin desk and explain my situation. There were only a couple of potential problems here though. To get to the desk I had to walk past the bar and yes the door is always open. Before I could think about that there was the problem of the man walking towards me in the hallway. I did the only thing I could do, I kept walking right past him without looking anywhere but straight ahead. Fortunately he did the same. I found out the next morning he was drunk and wasn't sure what he had seen. I was glad of that. I finally got to the checkin desk and got the woman's attention behind the desk and asked her if she could spare a towel please and thank you. Thankfully the lobby was empty also. She tried to put my mind at ease by telling me people get locked out of their rooms all the time. That may be true but I doubt very many were butt naked when it happened.
