A Man Called HORSE - pt 2

welcome back , gentle reader.

fullTilt $13
pokerStars $236

.... so obviously i had an enforced break from the virtual felt. Did i come back refreshed ? er no, completely knackered more like !

and went on a little life tilt.

I had ground my FT balance up to $40 ... oh come on, it was down to $3 ... and then played a few tournaments slightly outwith my 'roll ... oops

same story on 'stars, ground it up to $300 ish and ... oops ... you get the idea ... ho hum

so back to the news summary.

so after blowing off steam in tournaments outwith bankroll, i then went on a quite incredible eight bubbles in a row !!!!!!!! now that must be some sort of record ... on FT as it happens, so at least it was the small buy-in's that i hit so many 4th places.

and the summary so far ...

days that shook the world - pt 3

welcome back, gentle reader

fuck me, it really got worse ...

as no2 son got better, she sstopped eating and drinking and on the 2nd day .......

sitting in my lap, sleeping, she had a seizure ...

999 ... they took her to Boston Hospital.

i cannot describe how useless i felt, following the ambulance, knowing she was in ther ... sick ... and only 14 months old

it really broke my heart to see her that way. we got to A&E and they said she will be staying in. the docs put her on a drip, hooked her up to several monitors ... and i think i prayed

for the first 2 days she never moved , never stirred.

on the outside. i was a poker player ... on the inside ... i was frightened, so frightened..

on the third day she came round ... i so wanted to grab her and sqeeze her tight, tell her i loved her and let her her know mommy and daddy were there. i could only hold her hand and tell her.

the doc took blood, urine and the smelly stuff. thankfully. all negative. she stil has to go for a few scans ... ecg ?? and mri ??

on day 6 i got my baby home .... i am sure i look 55 now

days that shook the world - pt 2

welcome back, gentle reader

i was suposed to return to work on the 7th ...

a few dys revious to that my middle son fell ill ...

the Winter Vomiting bug ... ugly ....

i will spare you the detail, but he was ill. after 5 ... yes 5 ... days he started eating and drinking. he is a well built little guy, but after this , he was a bag of bones. i wa really worried and almost dragged him offf to hospital ... little did i know ...

he is back to normal and eating like a HORSE thank gawd...

surely it could only get better ...
