I've seen Sidney's Candy up close and personal.
He beat my wager in the Santa Anita Derby. That was his day.
I don't think I'll be betting him in any races I foresee.
I do hope Jenny Craig is OK. Giving a little personal, I awoke early the Friday morning of Veterans Day weekend five years ago and realized my left arm was paralyzed from the biceps down. I could move my finger tips, and that was it.
I went back to sleep, hoping it would miraculously be better when I awoke a second time.
It wasn't.
My doctor suspected a stroke or something so I was a resident of a hospital after breakfast and for the three day Veterans Day weekend.
After mega tests and images on and of the heart, brain and spine it was determined my radial nerve in the left arm was dead.
Apparently I slept on it too long, or something.
It took 6 months of physical therapy starting with 1 oz weights, and a little willpower to get it back to about 80%.
I drink beers with my left hand for continued physical therapy and maintenance. Self prescribed therapy, of course.
