On Christmas Eve, I was so excited, I got to a Denver Bronco Game. My good cousin gave me two free tickets. I had a friend who bailed at the last minute. Luckily, I met a nice young lady near the gate and told her, "I have an extra seat I will trade you if you buy my a Sprite soda. We had a wonderful time. She was from New England and came to see her Patriots play. I have lived in Boston and Rhode Island, so we had a lot to talk about. There were a few other New England Fans around. It was fun game and the Patriots pulled it off in the last 7 seconds. Her joy and the others was nice, even though Bronco fans were down. I have been a Bronco fan since I was born, my dad and I had season tickets for a few years. The girl and I walked out together and parted as new friends, exchanging phone numbers, she is looking for a job and I offered my cousin as a resource.
I went to find my car. I was so excited to get to the game an after being shocked by $60 parking, I was excited to find a $30 lot. I ran out of my car with others to try and get to the stadium before the start of the game. I did not know were I parked, my excitement got the best of me.
I walked around until 4:30 AM trying to find my car. I completely wore myself down after 12 miles of walking. My phone battery was dead, I was as weak as I have ever been out in public. I needed to empty my ileostomy bag and the spout at the end was frozen. So I tucked it my paints to warm it. Luckily I did not over flow before I was able to empty. I pleaded for help, even a security person at the stadium refused to help me call fo an Uber. Luckily I found an open Denny's. I barely got up the stairs, shaking and thinking I was on my way to another stay in the hospital. nearly collapsing in the doorway. A kind waitress got my phone charged. I had a scrambled egg and toast with hot tea. I called for an Uber and got safely home.
After not enough hours of sleep, I took an Uber to a family Christmas party which was wonderful. My cousin drove me around for another two hours and no luck finding my car. After going home, I scoured google maps and the next day, thought I found it and again used Uber. Three more hours of walking and I was at my ends wit and went back to the Denny's, exhausted, but not as bad as before. I got home, and slept another night.
The next day I put an ad on Craigslist Community page. It got taken down three times for reasons I could not fathom. The 4th time I got it up ad the next day, someone found my car and I got it back, all safe. I have lost a few things in my life, but never a car. It was a crazy and almost deadly set of circumstances. If the Denny's was not there, I am not sure I would have made it threw the night, alone in the freezing weather. 386 days in the hospital the last 6 years and I think I may have lost more than just the time.
I am now friends with the guy and his wife who fond my car. I made a great lasagna and took to them last night. That made me feel very good. Now I am about to go to bed and say my prayers. I hope 2024 is a great year for us all, as we find new ways to get healthy.
