Groggy but what the hell, need to laugh some.

September 15th - Midnight - Try to self induce vomiting again and getting nothing in return, pain increasing
September 15th - 2am - Try and drive self to closest emergency room (which I looked up on internet) but there wasn't an emergency room where I went). Got home

September 15th - 2:45am - Ambulance arrives, vitals are ok except heart rate and blood pressure
September 15th - 2:55am - Get to hospital and get shot of diluated, start to calm down, parents arrive
September 15th - 3:45am - Get 2nd shot because first shot didn't do anything
September 15th - 6am - Doctor finally comes to observe me, pain has subsided and feel normal
September 15th - 6:05am - Dad starting to break Indy 500 record to get me from hospital to home to airport for 7:26am departure flight
September 15th - 7:25am - Arrive at O'Hare, two bitch helpers deny me any opportunty to get on plane, as it was delayed by 20 minutes because of Flood 2008
September 15th - 7:35am - Find tall dude and ask him for help, he hears situation, looks up some stuff on computer, calls one of his girls, and then tells me "have a good time" Scav happy
September 15th - 7:45am - get through security and start running through as I was in gate F which is on ass end of O'Hare, not close
September 15th - 7:52am - Arrive at gate and they haven't even boarded yet, hilarious bitch helpers had no clue and didn't even bother helping out a customer
September 15th - 8:08am - Take off and try and get 45 minutes of shut eye, not really working
September 15th - 10am - Arrive at Bluegrass Airport, what a scene
September 15th - 10:15am - Find Chuck, I know I am looking forward to learning all day
September 15th - 10:30am - Bid on first horse, get smoked, but got to see a big go through and the process, pretty hilarious
September 15th - 11am - Out back and observing all these horse, amazing. See everyone within the industry that you can think of, but Headley, Lucas, and Baffert very prominent
September 15th - 5pm - Call it a day at least from the sale perspective, head to Chuck's new farm
September 15th - 5:30pm - HOLY COW what an amazing area, Chuck rolls up and there is just more land that I have ever seen in my lifetime, the barns are amazing and the horses are just awesome. we get out of car and 3 new yearlings are already there along with. Here comes Sgt Bethani (who is NOTHING like you would think but a down ass chick) and I ask 'Can I walk a horse" and I get my wish and get to walk two horses down a 90 degree hill to their paddock for the night, was unbelievable as they both listening to me, one of them was Sox a Fire and can't remember the other one.
September 15th 5:45pm - Go back down hill to observe the yearlings again. The 1st Mizzen Mast and theatrical get their own and the Smarty and Roman Ruler need to friend training, Roman smoked the smarty for sniffing the wrong area and gave him an old fashion kick, it was awesome to see. They start running the fences and stopping, the yearlings were surprisingly friendly, Cool Clue tries to run the place, staring down the RR and Smarty, and then going to stare down at Theatrical.
September 15th 8pm - Time to pass out as havent had any sleep, tell Chuck I am sorry if he wanted to party because wife was out of town but this guy can't hang like he used to (48 hours of no sleep used to be nothing).

If anyone questions the amount of hard work that Chuck or any other of these trainers do, they are really mistaken, granted I was running on sleep deprivation and pending ridiculous surgerys so my body was jacked up, but I was cashed by 2pm down there, and he went at it from 6am to 10pm, and then did it again the following day, I want nothing to do with that

September 16th - 5:45am - Wake up and go to bathroom, urine is completely brown, thought it might be narcotics from night before, feel good. Get ready to go to training center

More to come, have to get up and walk.......
