~WHILE I WAS SLEEPING~

Hello guys, I hope all is well in your world today...Now as many of you know I have been very ill with pneumonia and COPD and after 3 doctors 2 rounds of antibotics, lab work and chest X-rays and now I have to go in for Pulmonary function test...I have spend alot of time just sleeping and trying to breath...

I received alot of Get Well cards from my blogging buds Thank you all....


It snowed again last week for one day but didn't stick YIPPEE!! Now Len being on his own and thinking I was so sick I would not notice a few changes around the house was a very busy boy...Remember how I told you he is an Native American and loves antique slot machines and slowly but surely he thinks he turning this house into a gaming casino??? Well he have 9 machines in his garage, 3 in his office

Now these he has been busy adding to my office while I was sleeping...did he not think I would notice that I went from only having 3 in there to 6 ??? This is a 1930 Pace Gum Vendor slot machine...it takes a penny and you would get gum plus if you hit a jack pot penny pay...

I really do love this one...but don't tell Len that... mums the word I think it's really cool looking....

Then he slipped this one in it's from 1956 nickle Mills slot machine from the famous Pioneer club one of the first of the seven clubs on Fremont Street in Las Vegas do you see the Pioneer Vic man on the top...

A vending match machine from ca. 1930 now this he have not found a home for yet so it sits on my bench waiting....

And let's don't forget the one cent 1930 Purtian baby Bell trade stimulator...this is his littlest machine now...Had this man collect Thimbles and brought a few new ones in the house would I have noticed probably NOT...But come on 3 new slot machines and a match machine and he didn't think I would notice them...DUH...Len I have Pneumonia I'm not blind ha ha!! I would love to wish all you mother's a wonderful Mother's day...If you still have your Mama be sure and tell her you love her and thank her for her many years she has loved you....

My Mama 1922-May 2, 2007 I love you Mama and miss you more with each passing day...How very Blessed I was to have you for my Mama and the values and love you taught me....May you keep those gates cleaned and smile down on me on Mother's day....

Oh!! one quick thing Candace ( my granddaughter) is having a little Boy...life does go on...

Until next time from my mountain top to yours,

Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

~So I losted some feathers~

But I put up a good fight ha ha!! After 3 weeks with pneumonia and COPD 3 differ Doctor's opinions YES you heard me right 3 doctors I have been to just to find out why I was getting worse instead of better Dr # 1 just listen to my chest...no X-rays or tests and told me to go home and get my affairs in order..Duh...This doctor I have been going to for 20 years said my lungs should be for my age and weight at 375 % and mine were at 92% gave me antibotics and send me home...I was not getting any better...so in come Doctor #2 same thing listens to my chest said I had COPD and pneumonia give me $100.00 for office visit and come back in 4 weeks..What the heck?? Mean while I'm getting weaker and worse each day....So Len who is having to fend for himself and worried out of his mind takes me to his medicine man yes Len is a native American and his doctor is a medicine man ha ha!! So medicine man orders lab work and chest X-rays...so this past week I have been through it all...To make a very long story short found out I do have pneumonia and COPD and a urinary tract and kidney infection...he gave me an inhaler to breath with stronger antibotics which I started taking on Tuesday night and by Thursday I felted like I was going to live....Girls I have never been this sick before in my life...even with cancer I never got this down....I lost a total of 12 pounds in less than a week and I didn't have it to lose as I only weighted 113 to start with....So I am now on the mend I am still very weak and sleep alot....I want to thank all of you for your many Prayers for me...I do believe in the power of prayers and a Good medicine man ha ha!! THANK YOU ALL....
