on Thanksgiving night that went to the ER? We were traveling through loops looking at decorations and I thought that the RV looked like your pics. There was a truck parked in the middle of the loop, a sweet woman jumped out and told us it would be a few minutes b/c she had to call 911.
You might also want to complain about Disney's response time. It seemed like it took a while for EMT's to get there considering they are on-site. Disney staff got there right away (parked at the end of the entrance to those four loops), put on his night vest and had his light ready to direct the EMT to the site.
When we pulled back onto the main road, here comes EMT just traveling along at a regular pace, no lights, nothing. Everyone in our group said pretty much the same thing "I hope I never need an ambulance while I am here". From the time, we left your loop, we went through the other 3 loops looking at decorations at a very leisurely pace before we got back on the main road and saw the ambulance finally coming.
I do hope you are ok and that they have figured out the problem and you will not have any long-term effects from this experience.
Yeppers that was me causing all the commotion ... just thought I would add some adventure to FW for those not going into the parks that day
No Celebration really didn't solve anything, but ruled out a lot and actually made things worse IMHO by not allowing me to even get out of bed basically for over two days so all the progress to get my right leg back in shape (see below paragraph ended up setting me back mobility wise). I'm not questioning some of what they did since a possible minor stroke can cause the exact issues I developed in almost no time at all. Any way we have a back up plan if we can't get all the way back to the D.C. area. I'm retired military and won't go into the details but am a TRICARE PRIME member so if needed we can always hobble over to NAS Jax and stay either at a KOA or on station at NAS Jax and I can go to the hospital and get everything I need at zero cost to me. Now that I can do what I want I have made tremedous progress in just the last 24 hours. I'm not ready to run a marathon and still have a swollen and painful to bend right knee so I can't walk normally yet, but can stand and once I get up and with quite a bit of discomfort and shuffle around the trailer as long as I don't bend my right knee. I don't have normal mobility yet, but I can now put all my full weight on either leg, when I was discharged this was not the case basically IMHO I got no exercise at all so things never improved.
I didn't want to get into the specifics or turn this thread into a medical issue one, but basically what happened is that I have been having some right leg issues. Pulled a hamstring early not real bad and trying to work that back out sort of favored that and walked funny and since I have feet as flat a boards got shin splits. O.K. both those are fixable, but when resting between exercise periods I didn't realize my cushions were so flat I was sitting on basically a board and added a knotted muscle in my right that pinched my sciatic nerve
... talk about adding insult to injury and I've had the shin split issue and the sciatic nerve issue on an infrequent basis, but never those two plus the hamstring all while trying to do Disney so it ended up being a comedy of little things. After getting all those finally resolved I was basically walking normally, albeit not my normal run off and leave folks and X-giving night decided to walk up to the bus stop and go down to the beach and watch the Fireworks. Absolutely no problem walking from the 1800 loop to the bustop and sat down. Then when I got up I must have twisted my right knee funny and down I went and couldn't get back up so that's why this didn't make sense because it was so sudden so being the worrier I am I decided to seek medical attention and so the Saga began.
I didn't mention it but in Celebration's defense there was nothing significant found before the MRI and our issue was getting the MRI results reviewed by a doctor to tell me there were or were not any issues. I had the full 4 procedure MRI and finally got ahold of the head nurse honcho who IMHO realized I wasn't getting told anything called another FLORDIA HOSPITAL and thru his equilivant there got a doctor to read the MRI results and nothing showed there so they got me released. At least after a combined MRI cost close to $2500 (won't pay that much since I do have the equilivant of military HMO coverage and not to get into details I'm a TRICARE PRIME member) I know I have no brain tumors, clots in either the brain or major artery issues and a clear spine (so slipped disks, etc.) so there was some positive out of all this and once I get back home all the procedures and results can be re read at my home military treatment facility which is the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. since they are available to them thru the FLORIDA HOSPITAL system and this system is also a member of the same military HMO (for lack of a better word) organization. I could have check myself out, but would have had to give a waiver that treatment was not complete and couldn't have gotten a Discharge Summary which most likely prevent me from recouping any of the costs of treatment thru TRICARE.
My biggest complaints were the admin, MD staffing, lack of doctor/patient communications and what appeared to be stonewalling of the Celebration Hospital.
To all expressing concern and support I truly appreciate it.
