i just realized i had comments on this facsilimi of a blog. jimmity. and now i don't remember how i found them. somehow a list came upand i was able to publish or reject.
i used to get an email on my other blog -- the poker related one.
i knew someone or two was visiting, my weely site meter report told me so. and it twernt me.
i figured it might be pauly or april or both, perhaps scottMc.
(sorry i didn't link those up).
Factgirl was kind enough to mention me on her blog. i think i hit on her during a vegas gathering a december or two ago, and perhaps now she is stalking me.
thanks for all the well wishes and kind words.. and please know that altho i am down, i am not out.....
i miss playing live, the felt and all, but i've been thinking about making my way to clicks south, a pool hall where i first started playing live. its free to play and im fairly certain people will fold to a one armed one legged man with half a brain..:)
oh, and im starting to remember how i did so well on absolute before the stroke, and at the risk of turning this back into a poker blog, ill share my latest epifiny(my spelling post stroke sucks)
i remembered that people at absolute play really dumb and consistantly make stupid choices. then i remembered luck favors the stupid and my excitement waned.
so i have to remember how i took advantage of these people's less than intelligent choices.
i never forgot that patience and discipline are my best weapons. but im starting to believe the stroke took both of those along with my arm and my leg.
to my teacher friend - no im not snraking off to vegas, altho ive thought about it. i really am not keen on trying to travel via air and the drive alone would most likely result in my death.
i do want to go tho.
intro
I survived a stroke on feb 3rd, 2007 and this is my attempt to chronicle that event and everything since that day..
edit:aug 15, 2008 i really did feel that way when i wrote the intro, honest. but way to much time has passed to do this properly. mainly due to my memory failing me. i'll see what i can do.

I'm glad you realize driving would be a bad idea, I wouldn't drive that far! Now air fare, you do get to board first and other perks!)
I went to vegas once and did a little gambling, but mostly just experience sensory overload with all the stuff! Biggest lesson, talk to NO one who comes up to you. My 2 teacher friends I went with failed to mention that little tidbit of info.
We went up to the top of the stratosphere (I think, the one with the roller coaster). That TOTALLY FREAKED ME OUT. They come to the very edge before they go backwards. I wasn't even on the stupid thing and it scared the crap out of me!
i've been twice. both times in december. i've never walked so much in all my life.
i could and would make the drive iffen i werent physically challenged.
the thing with the air travel is the airports to deal with. they are a pain in the a$$ when your not physically challenged. last three times i traveled by air were not exciting at all.
if the wanting gets bad enuff, i'll go. but for now its a managable craving. online is working for me and there is a casino just across the tx/ok border that i would prolly try to herad to first if it got down to
it.
I don't live far from the casino across the red river on 35. I've never stopped but it seems like they are ALL OVER oklahoma now. Even around my home town, Ponca City!
yeah i think the number is aroung 60 for casinos along the IH35 corridor in oklahoma. i've just been to the one.
there is a 'casino' in eagle pass i've been to a couple times.
once you've been to vegas, these indian joints just dont seem to cut it.
