"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."... Mother Theresa

I have been very sick, scary too.  I finally, last week, made an appointment with the doctor and said "Look, I am still sick" and he took notice - he did a test on my oxygen levels, and sure enough it was low - low enough that I had a choice, go home to bed and take all these medicines or be admitted to the hospital.  I went home and went to bed for a week.  I had been sick with a virus and sinus infection, complications from Hay Fever, add smoky air from Wild Fires in the area, and then that kicked in my asthma, topping it with Bronchitis.  I have taken Prednisone (steroid), Cipro and Biaxin (antibiotics), Dulera, Spiriva, and Combuvent (inhalers), TrexBrom (cough syrup), and Rescon (antihistamine) ... I am a walking pharmacy.  I went back this week for a check-up and I am still coughing, having issues... so I see the pulmonary specialist on Monday.  My oxygen levels are "better" but they are still below normal.  I think not getting oxygen may be the reason I've been so listless, sleepy, lazy feeling, and depressed.  I wish there was an oxygen bar around, like they have in Las Vegas at the Casinos!!!!  

That would be the best medicine - a trip to Vegas - the dry desert air - the oxygen bars - the gambling - the nice hotel room - relaxing, fun and laughs!!! Oh I can dream on.....

Well... on to other things... there's always that question that comes up now and then, "If you could have dinner with "anyone" - living or deceased - who would it be?"

You know... I'd love to say my deceased loved ones, but ... honestly, if it is going to be someone I don't know... it would be Mother Theresa.  I hope they add her to the list of Saints.  I cannot imagine giving myself, as she did, to so many sick people, and living day in and day out with that poverty and depressing environment - yet, she obviously did not see it that way... and that is why I'd have loved to have had a chance to meet someone so special...
