Well, this wasn't the most exciting vacation day I have ever spent. I had a horrible night healthwise and when we woke up this morning I asked Ms. Kate what she thought about us changing our plane reservations and going home either today or tomorrow. I checked the cost of changing flights and it would cost us another $1,600.00 to change flights; so, we looked for other answers. Finally I called the front desk and asked if there was a hospital emergency room anywhere close and they told me there was ST. Rose Dominican Hospital about ten minutes down the road. So, I showered and got ready and we went to the emergency room. I must say I was very surprised. First of all, there was no line at all and lots of people there to help. After a super dose of breathing treatment with Albuterol, some predizone, a CT Scan, a chest X-ray, and EKG, we finally were released around 1300 hours with a couple of prescriptions. The doctors and nurses were super attentive and the caring was obvious. I pray I will never need their services again but I highly recommend them.

On to better things. We left the hospital and went to PF Chang's Oriental Restuarant for lunch and it was delicious. We had enough to bring back to the room and I admit that I was concerned that it might lose some the deliciousness being cold; (we don't have a microwave) but it is still tasty. From there we went to the resort. Kate stayed in the casino and I went up to the room, I took some of my meds and layed down for a needed nap. Later I went down to the casino and found Ms. Kate and Karen.

Tomorrrow we change hotels again and move to The Palazzo Resort for Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday.  We are entered in a slot tournament for Monday and Tuesday. In the mean time there are restaurants that we like to eat in not the least of which is the Grand Lux. The Palazzo and the Venetian resorts are connected and an extension of one another. And there are other places that we like to go around there too. I'm just hoping that my meds totally kick this cold in the rear and we feel up to doing all of the things we want to do. It hasn't been more than we could handle, but it has certainly put a damper on our fun.

I'm checking the weather back home and see that rain and snow flurries and cold weather are certainly the operative words for the day. If this is part of what your are experiencing I pray safe travel out in it. Today was the funeral for my Uncle Howard. I hope the weather was sunny for them.. In the mean time I'll stay a little warmer here in the 55 five degree days.

Tomorrow is a day of worship. I pray you will take time to aat least sit alone for awhile and give God praise for your abundance of blessings. Never forget that God loves you and so do I. Peace.
