The Gambler

I've been gambling the past couple of weeks!! Been going to Route 66 Casino, located west of Albuquerque, a 20 minute drive. Anyway, last week they started giving away prizes for the State Fair that starts on Friday. You just spin this huge wheel and you win whatever the marker stops at. You can win tickets to the rodeo, admission to the fair, free parking at the fair and also state fair souvenirs. You can also win Route 66 souvenirs, too. Well, so far I've won rodeo tickets - to Craig Morgan and Easton Corbin. And I won fair admission for 1 day. The other days I got a water bottle (2 times), Kids Quest thingy (which I didn't take because I don't have any kids to leave there (while I gamble) or know anyone with kids). And then I got a cell phone holder. My brother got about 4 parking passes and he doesn't own a vehicle!!! He and my mom won most of the fair tickets so they are all set on attending the fair!! While I wait in line I watch people play the slot machines. Oh boy, if those machines could fight back, there's be a lot of people with bruises!! Some of them really get mad at the machines for not letting them win!! One man was just cussing at the machine each time he hit the button. It's cute when a couple playing together win a big jackpot. To me it's big even though it's like a hundred dollars. They were just cute today. They won 20 free games and hit some really big wins on those spins. And then they got an additional 8 games and their winning came to $103.00. They cashed out right away and left. Then this lady went to play that slot machine and lost her twenty bucks. She wasn't happy about that.
My brother told me we should go to Dancing Eagle Casino to spin their huge slot machine. You can win prizes including gasoline, buffet and someone could win $250,000. I told him it's too far and I really don't care to win stuff like that. What are the chances of even winning that money? My chances are zero. I only win small things. So far that's true. I can't seem to win the big concert trips given by the radio stations.
I'm sticking to the state fair things.

I Am Wondering.....

I wonder if they would give me back my toe nail. It has not been fun the past few days. Today has just been a pain. I am wanting to get the toe nail back and put back in place. I will suffer that pain rather than this one. It's worse than the other way......................

Yuck!

Back in 2006 I broke my leg. First time ever to break a bone! First time ever to be in the hospital, aside from being born. And I had just turned the big 5-0!! Anyway, people were telling me how I will have a cast on my leg and how uncomfortable I will be. Gosh, I didn't think I could even survive that after hearing all those 'horror' stories. Why did I have to fall and break the leg? Anyway, I guess Jan thought it would be great to get a pedicure before going to the hospital and getting a cast on the leg. So I went along with that. Bad choice! About 2 weeks later, my big toe on the unbroken leg turned red and hurt quite a bit. Jan put some medicine on it and it went away for a while but came back in September. I couldn't stand the pain, so I got an appointment for a doctor to check it out. In the meantime, I didn't need a cast on the leg. They gave me a Bledsoe brace and the docs were amazed at how fast my leg had healed. Well, in October I went to see a doctor and he told me my toe was infected and he had to remove the nail. What a pain that was. I was screaming out loud that the other docs and nurses came to see what was happening. It hurt and I just wanted to die or have them chop the toe off. Well, after that it was better. The nail grew back but not the way it should. It started growing into my toe. I believe each time I clipped the nail it grew more into the toe. 2 months ago, I noticed how bad it looked and it started hurting me. I made a doc appt. to get it checked. Wrong choice I made because she decided that it needs to be removed. I also ahd decided to tell her to remove it and not let it grow back as I didn't like the way it looked. WHAT a PAIN it was. First she used the tiniest needle to numb the toe and had to do it in 3 places. "There's lots of nerves going into your toes and fingers," she said. Once that needle went in I wanted her to stop because I can't stand too much pain and then the burning sensation was even worse. She told me each time what she was going to do. Then she said she'll wait about 5 minutes for the toe to get numb. Well, it didn't help much. She began to remove the nail and caused me so much pain that I was screaming out loud. She got a roll of gauze and put it in my mouth. It hurt worse than my broken leg. I told her to just chop the toe off so I won't be in so much pain. She replied, "Well, you're going to be in worse pain if I do that!" Then she said, "Ok, it's coming off, I got about a fourth of it off." I thought it was all off but she was working on it. "Ok, it's halfway off." I'm still squirming and screaming. "It's almost off, it's alsmost off, sorry for the pain, but it's almost off." Finally, after an eternity passed, it was off. And I knew I was going to be in pain later on once that numbness wears off. Never going to have that done again!! I really thought I would just die if she kept doing that. So now I have another problem. The gauze she put on the toe hasn't been able to get off. She told me to leave the dressing on for 24 hours. I think it dried onto my toe (or she used super glue instead of medicine on my toe and it's stuck for good!!) Well, this happened on Monday and it's now Thursday and I can't get the thing off. I called the 24-hour nurse number and she told me to soak the foot every hour or so and it should come off. If it doesn't go back to the doctor and they will have to remove it. NO WAY am I going to let anyone remove it from my toe as they will cause MORE PAIN than I can stand. I don't want anymore pain. I tried to pull it off but I just cause the toe to bleed more and cause it to hurt more. I can imagine what they will do if they do it for me. They wouldn't care what pain I'm in, just as long as it's not them suffering. OMG, I don't know what to do. The nurse on the phone told me to get it off ASAP as it would get infected! I don't think I could stand that either. I think I just need a new toe.
Ever since I broke my leg, I've been having so much things happening to me and causing more pain that I ever suffered. Well, no, I take that back. I suffered really harsh pain during those once a month periods. All those years of suffering (I thought there was a little monster trying to get out with a sharp knife) and now that it's all over, I don't want anymore pain. PLEASE, NO MORE PAIN!! If it's not one thing it's another. When will it all end. I guess my life isn't boring as some people may think.

September 2011

September is here!! Green chili roasting across town at many grocery store parking lots!! Love the smell. Not sure about eating the stuff, though. If it's not too hot, it would be great. And now the NM State Fair is just around the corner. Seems like the 2010 fair ended a couple of months ago. Boy how time has flown by the past year.
Pretty soon the hot air balloons will be dotting the Albuquerque skies!! There are 3-5 balloons that go up almost every morning from Coors Rd, north of Montano. You know they're in the air when you hear the dogs barking. Our dogs bark, too. Well, the little one runs around trying to figure out what the other dogs are barking at. I sometimes go out there and point out the balloons to her and then she just goes berzerk with running, barking and jumping.
Well, I will enjoy September. I hope to get to the fair at least once while it's here. Not sure if they're doing what they did last year. No fair on Mondays and Tuesdays. It starts Friday, Sept. 9 and runs thru Sept. 25th. Crazy, huh? Navajo Nation fair is also going on the first weekend that our fair starts. I think it starts on Wednesday or Thursday thru Sunday. I believe Utah and Tennessee have their state fair as well, going on during this time too. Their's just run 2 weeks, though.
