I got back late last Monday night after 2 weeks in Las Vegas.
I needed a few days to vegitate and then I found myself at the hospital Wednesday night for 7 hours with pain in my right side and horrible aching throughout my lower back. So I'm in pain for 3 hours and finally see a triage nurse and she does an EKG and other tests and prescribes 2 tylenol 3s and sends me back to the waiting room to see a doctor. I rarely take even an aspirin so the tylenols have me zonked but very very mellow and I'm feeling pretty damn good and I proceed to have half the waiting room in stitches telling stories. I went to the bathroom and washed my hands with the tap on full blast and it splashed all over the bottom of my sweatshirt. I was oblivious to this and when I walked back to the waiting room a guy made a joke about the length of my penis which I didn't get at all but it was in reference to the waterstains on my shirt. It took a while in my state to register and in slow motion I looked down and realized that indeed it looked like I had a nasty accident. Of course I now had to defend myself but I really didn't care much lol.
A few hours later I finally see a doctor (the tylenol has worn off and I'm in no pain) and he tells me it's probably gall stones and a couple days later it's confirmed in an ultrasound. The doctors won't do anything further unless I have more attacks.
Well Vegas was fun as usual. I met Brenda from Pokerpig.com and we had supper and hung out for a couple days. She's a nice gal and I recommend her T-shirts (I bought one!) as they look good and are made from quality material. She had some very interesting jewellry as well that I would recommend to the ladies.
As usual I didn't play any poker. I did make 200.00 in a free slot tournament which was very disappointing because I was 4th after the first two rounds and crashed the last round to finish 7th which normally is pretty good but this time not really. The top 4 spots got entered into a 250,000.00 November tournament. /sigh
Then I played a blackjack tournament. I was up all night and was deciding whether to take a nap at 7AM as the tournament started at 9. I decided I'd probably miss the wakeup call so I stuck it out. I was a zombie and with 600 starting chips I decided to bet crazy and was out in 3 hands and I was happy to go to bed lol. The next morning they did a redraw for wildcard spots for those knocked out and I slept in and my freaking name was called and because I wasn't in attendance another name was drawn. This is the first time I've ever missed a drawing too!! Dammit. 1st prize in this was 15,000.00.
Finally I played in a last chance slot tournament for the November 250K and did shitty but still won 25.00.
I met many interesting people as usual and had a good time. Spent a ton of money but that's normal and something I plan for. Of course I gambled many hours on table games, sports betting, keno, video poker, slots etc. Just lots of degenerate gambling. Drank and ate too much too.
Well that's all that happened in Vegas and I will stick to this story!
