I was going to collect just $1 chips from all the open casino's in LV but at this time I'm not.

Here is my story. Since I have joined this fine club and this forum I have read many a heart breaking thread. Somebody has cancer, somebody died, somebody had a birthday, somebody this and somebody that...etc.

On February 18th it was my birthday (thanks to all those who wished me a happy birthday), I don't think anybody did (doesn't matter). On February 23th I got sick (thought it was a virus), throwing up, diarrhea and the works. It went away the next Monday (wow just in time for work). From Monday (February 26th to March 9th I was fine). On March 10th I got sick again (oh a relaps from the virus), went to the ER on March 16th (had too, couldn't stand the diarrhea and throwing up). As told by the ER doctor, there was a virus going around similiar to the Crusise ship virus in January and February but I didn't have that. In fact they didn't know what I had. Lets do tests (catscan, colon test with the scope, x-rays, take my blood).

Mind you I'm 54, never go to the doctor, haven't been sick in 10 years with a cold. I had the colons test and they found no cancer (thats a good thing).

I had to stay in the hospital to today.

I don't want sympathy or you to pity me or a wish to get well. There is no cure for what I have. All I know is at age 54 I have to take drugs (pills, dope) to control what I have. Gee isn't life grand!

I have Crohn's disease. Look it up on google.

At this time I don't have the heart to buy any chips or collect any. I don't have the heart to collect lottery tickets or coins either.

All I'm thinking about is how to survive this and out live my 81 year old mother.

BTW... Some of the questions to be asked is.

How many minutes was I in the Hospital?

What was my admittance number in the hospital?

What was the cost (total) of my first Drugs I bought on March 22?

I'll come up with afew more (I have afew to give away). Best I can do is tell you what I can give away, I have no scanner. Some were bought from Chuck S. and Kenny F.

Have a nice nite and glad to be back (well in a sense).
