I hope that you are enjoying Ann's Earth life as she travels through "hell." As I have shared with you before, Ann's story is a true story and her life demonstrates what one life form goes through in her life game-one lifetime on Earth-that demonstrates why I feel that HELL is truly our daily lives as we face challenges and triumphs on our trip on our way back home to HEAVEN.
THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 35...
We knew that we were going to be evicted and would be on the streets for a while until we could save up enough money for two months rent, plus security deposit, which was what was required to get into another apartment. Ed insisted that we try to find a better means of transportation than my old Saturn so we went to Pearson Ford and bought (payment plan) ourselves a small truck that was in both of our names. It was a used truck, but very clean and it had a CD changer which was important to us. We left the Saturn with my friend Judy, and put all of our belongings into storage except for those things that we absolutely needed. We brought along all of our music CDs, bedding, clothes, our medicines, camping equipment, and food.
The first night we slept at a rest stop. We took all of our boxes out of the truck and put them on the ground around the truck and then slept in the bed of the truck. It rained the first night out and soaked us. It also soaked everything that we hadn't covered up with a tarp. The next morning a Park Ranger came by and told us to get out of the rest stop and not come back.
We found a campsite a few miles away and rented a space for a week. Ed lasted a week, then he was so ill that we had to rethink our plans. We spent the next nights in an inexpensive motel until Ed could get back on his feet. Then we headed out to Nevada, specifically Las Vegas. There we were able to find cheap rooms from Sunday to Thursday, but the weekends we had to spend in campgrounds.
We had a particularly bad incident not long after we had been out. We had rented a hotel room at Barona Casino and when Ed got out of the truck to go into the hotel he seemed to have trouble walking. We got into the registration desk and Ed got us registered but he looked as if he had been drinking, something he never did. The people at the desk understood that he was having a problem and got a wheelchair for him and a nice young man wheeled him to our room. Ed lay down on the bed while I got things unpacked. I asked him if we needed to go to a doctor but he seemed clear and stable and absolutely refused to go anywhere, he felt that with a little rest he would be a-ok. I lay down to get some rest and Ed got up to use the restroom. When he came out he stood near the foot of my bed and started to try to talk to me, instead, all that came out was, "dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit!" And suddenly he fell face first onto the floor and then turned over and began to have severe seizures. He bit his tongue before I could get a piece of plastic into his mouth and save that, and then he began to convulse terribly. I called for help and an ambulance was there within 15 minutes. The ambulance took him to a major hospital, Grossmont, and I followed behind in the truck. I had put in a call for Anders, and Anders met me at the hospital.
Ed had several tests done and they had to take out two pints of fluid from his abdomen, which was very painful for him. The doctors wanted Ed to stay for further evaluation but Ed refused to stay. Anders and I tried to get the doctors to keep him against his will because we knew there was something very wrong with him, but Ed refused, and the doctors could not hold him. Ed looked me straight in the eyes and said, "I am getting out of here whether you want me to or not, are you going to help me?" I could see the steel resolve in his eyes and knew that he was very capable of just getting up and walking out against medical advise. So I gave in and helped him get out of bed and ready to go and we left the hospital and went back to the hotel. I was scared that Ed would have another grand mal seizure and Anders was also frightened and told his dad that he was very disappointed in him for not staying in the hospital and warned him to think of me as well as himself. Nothing we said had an effect on Ed, he was sure he could push on without any further consequences.
Barona Hotel became a very special place for us. Outside of our window the casino had built a lake with a little island in the middle of it, and on the island they had built a wedding chapel. They conducted weddings there but you had to sign up for your wedding in advance. We were looking out of our window at the wedding chapel, watching the swans that they had swimming there, when Ed said to me, "we could be married here." "That would be wonderful," I said. Then Ed looked at me straight on and asked me, "Ann, would you marry me?" "Of course I will," I replied, "but we'd better get you well first before we do that."
I regret that I was not more romantic in my reply, but I did not feel that I could put any more stress on his shoulders. I love him more than words can say and I always will.
"Well," said Ed, "at least now I can say that you are my fiance!"
"And now I can say that you are my fiance," I said, "and that makes me happier than anything on earth!"
We might not have had a lot, but we had each others' love and commitment and I felt like the richest person on earth.
Tomorrow we end up in Death Valley and found out why it is called "Death" Valley...
