END OF ANOTHER YEAR

I decided to write in my dairy today. I am supposed to rest because I was really sick last night. I have been sick for a year and a half now and the doctors haven’t found out why.

Isabel one of my good friends was having her bridal shower yesterday. She picked me up at 5pm and we went to eat at IHOP. There was Isabel, Cathy, Samantha, Judy and I in the car. We went to eat first because we were going to a club where there would be drinking. It started out really great, talking and eating with the other girls. Then we got in the car and went to this club.

This club had male dancers. I had only seen male dancers on tv. Like the Chippendales, not live. We went in and it was crowed but Isabel had reserved a table for her bridal shower right by the stage. We got drinks. I got a strawberry daiquiri. Suddenly the place was packed with women. Some standing room only. We were talking about whether anyone in my group had been to a show like this before and Isabel and Judy said they had. Five guys came out and started dancing. Good looking and muscle buff. The announcer started telling everyone who each one of the dancers were. We were sitting next to the stage and women standing up started filling in around our table. As the guys danced around they started to take your shirts off to show there muscles. We were all scream and having a good time when I fainted. I woke up on the floor and one of the bouncers took me to the office. Isabel came also. There were three guys with me and Isabel in the office. I was sat in a chair and a guy at the desk was asking me if they should call an ambulance. I said I think I am going to fine I didn’t know what happened. Isabel said she had called Jeff and he was on his way.

All of a sudden the women were screaming really loudly. I told Isabel to go back to the party and I was so sorry I was spoiling everything. The manager ask what was happening that everyone was screaming. He believed they were between dances. One of the guys said he would check and went out with Isabel. The guy returned with Jeff. The women were screaming because they thought Jeff was one of the dancers and was there to do the show. Into to the office walked this tall, very good looking, black, very muscular buff guy in black cowboy boots, tight blue jeans, nice black shirt unbuttoned at top and a black cowboy hat. Totally stunning. Jeff looked at me and said to the manager behind the desk, “I am her husband.” The manager behind the desk looked at Jeff and asked him if he wanted a job while he was there? Jeff politely said no thankyou. The manager told Jeff I had fainted and they brought me in the office to see if they should call ambulance. Jeff turned to me and bent down on one knee. He took my hand and slipped my wedding ring on it and said, “You forgot this.” Then he ask what was happening with me. I told him I don’t know why I fainted and I was still shaky and weak. Jeff got up and turned to the manager. Jeff told him, he was going to take me to the emergency room. Jeff thanked the manager for calling him and then picked me up and when to the door. As one of the men was getting the door open, blood curding screams came from the room out side. The manager said, “What the hell?”

As the four of us came out of the office and Jeff was heading for the front door we could see people screaming and trying like crazy to get out the front door. Pushing and shoving like crazy. Then Jeff stopped in his tracks. There in the middle of the floor was a large King Cobra just looking at everyone. Jeff backed up and then put me in a chair away from the snake. Some people had climbed on stage and were filming the snake with their phones. It seems one of the people had bought the snake to use in their show but needed to take to a vet to get it defanged before the could start training it. The snake must of had other ideas because it got out of its cage and was out on the floor. Jeff looked at it a minute. It looked very angry. Jeff walked toward the snake. I started thinking, oh shit what is he doing. He got too close to the snake for me. He very calmly and slowly went down on his knees. He took his black hat off setting it slowly on the floor. Folded this hands, bowed his head and looked like he was praying. I was on the edge of my chair with fear. The crowd couldn’t believe Jeff had gotten down there with the snake. I heard one person say oh my god. The snake looked in the direction of the speaker. Jeff stopped praying, raised his head but kept his hands together. The snake returned its attention to Jeff. Jeff and the snake were eye to eye from one or two minutes. You could see Jeff in the snakes eye and the snake in Jeff’s eye. I couldn’t stand it, I didn’t want to watch anymore. I thought the snake is going to bite Jeff in the face, maybe right in the eye and Jeff was going to die. Then the snake lunged at Jeff with this great intent of biting him. In that split second Jeff grabbed the snake by the neck before it reached his face and threw the snake backwards onto the floor with such a hard thump it instantly killed the snake. Jeff then put his black hat back on and calmly rose to his feet. Walked over to me where he picked me up again in his arms, took me to his truck and then to the hospital. People posted their videos on tic toc before we even got to the hospital. I don’t think people would have believed it happened if someone had not recorded it.

At the hospital Jeff put me in a wheel chair because he was worried I would faint again. The doctor did blood test, an ekg and other test. Lots of questions on how if felt, what I drank, what I ate and did. Poked on me and did urine tests. Nurses and other people would walk by, look at Jeff and whisper to each other. Jeff closed the curtains. After about three hours the doctor told Jeff all he could find was low iron, high blood pressure and cholesterol. He give Jeff the name of some iron tablets to get and a prescription for blood pressure. Jeff thanked the doctor and then took me to this really nice hotel. He put me in bed and told me if I needed anything to let him know and went to the living room area to talk on his phone. I turned over and saw my ring. I fell asleep thinking how wonderful Jeff was.

I woke up and the clock said 8:30 am. I went to the bathroom and got back in bed. A few minutes later, it was 9am now, Jeff came in with a tray of food. Jeff said, “Ready for breakfast?” I actually felt really good. Looking down at the tray with orange juice, milk, bacon eggs, hash browns and toast, I said, “Yes, I feel really good this morning.” Jeff replied, “That’s great! Here is your iron tables and blood pressure meds. Take these first. We are going home soon but when we get there I expect you to rest the rest of the day.”

At home he told one of the women there I was suppose to take it easy and she was to tell on me if I didn’t. He gave me a kiss and said he had to go to his brothers house to change clothes and put his car in his brothers garage. He said he couldn’t drive the truck around because of the videos from last night on tictoc. He gave me a kiss and said he would be back soon. So here I am writing in my diary and wishing the doctors had figured out why I kept getting sick.
