~A XMAS STORY~decorations, crowds, pixies..AND A BLOODY NOSE~ACTUAL UPDATE 11/9 p190

[LovintheLodge]

Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you are feeling better. I've mostly been a lurker of late, but always enjoy your trip reports.

Your NYC trip sounds great. I was there for a day trip over the holidays. It is beautiful at Christmas time. You have so many great things planned. Wicked is WONDERFUL! And the NYC things at the Disney Store are really nice. Just a personal preference, but I recommend the Museum of Natural History. There are just so many great things to do in NYC. Don't forget to check out Toys R Us. Was Ray ever into Legos? They have unbelievable displays there!

Here's a link to a restaurant we really like there. http://www.johnspizzerianyc.com/index2.htm. I think another poster mentioned John's Pizzeria as well. It used to be a church. It's very good and quite reasonable. Happy planning! Looking forward to reading more...

I mentioned John's earlier. It is a great space, and I remember thinking that it was pretty spacious, especially for NYC restaurant space standards! We were not seated right on top of the table next to us!

Yikes! about your arm. I hope you are ok. That's ok....it grossed me out a little too, and I wasn't even there!

Hope you are ok!

Years ago when my son was three (he's now 26), he fell getting out of the bath tub and split open his chin. I too saw that gloppy stuff coming out of his cut, but I was home alone with him and had to stay calm in order to keep him calm. I called the doctor and brought him in right away. The doctor said the stuff was fat and he just put it back in, but my son did need one stitch to close the cut.

Stairs are so dangerous. I have taken some bad falls over the years too. I was coming down the stairs once carrying the same son mentioned above when he was just a few months old and fell all the way down from the top. I don't know how I managed to hold onto him, but I did. I went all the way down on the back of my body. I had a huge gigantic bruise on the back of my thigh. It was so gross.

Hopefully you won't be too sore tomorrow.

 

[hlrababy]

OH MY WORD!!!!!
What was it? Sorry if I am being a dumdum, but what in the heck was it that was coming out of your arm????? Well, I hope your arm feels better!!!! Hopefully you didn't do nothing superbad except for the cut!

 

[MeMom]

That's practice for dealing with your future kids. Oh, the war stories I could tell with my kids - the boys especially. But even Jill managed to get her 'grossness' in when she spilled a 400+ degree pot pie on her leg (straight out of the oven) and it gave her third degree burns and the most god-awful big blisters you have ever laid eyes on. She had to go to the doctor daily for about two weeks for him to peel off yucky skin and smear it with new gunk and rewrap it. I won't even go into some the things the boys have managed to do! Suffice it to say, I've seen my share of fat globules, bones, blood, etc.

Be sure it stays nice and clean. You'll be sore in the morning. Any time we have any kind of fall, it hurts in places you don't even realize you hit. You'll probably feel bruised inside and out. I'm glad nothing was broken, though.

I would like to have seen a video of Ray's big leap down to rescue you! What a guy! He vaccums and rescues damsels in distress!!!

 

[punkin413]

it was arm fat! yuck!!!! and what's wierd is that it's on the underside of my arm between my wrist and elbow and i have relatively thin arms. so i would hate to see what it would look like if i did that to my thunder thighs!

when i told my sister what happened she said she was going to have nightmares that my arm fat was attacking her.

i have to say that watching willis mcgahee get hurt in the game just now made me feel like an idiot freaking out about my little cut. i feel so bad for him. i don't want to ravens to win but i certainly don't want anyone to get hurt, either. and he got hurt in college playing for miami. poor guy.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, no, Dawn!!! That is so horrible about your arm -- I would be screaming, too! Gelatinous mounds should never come out of one's arm!

Hope your arm feels better soon.

 

[englishrose47]

Oh Dawn!! Keep an eye on that so it doesn't get infected !! My DD doesn't handle the kids getting injured well either . I arrive at the ER and the staff send her out , cuz they don't want to deal to with 2 casualities !
Anyway hope you are OK

 

[MeMom]

Oh Dawn!! Keep an eye on that so it doesn't get infected !!
Anyway hope you are OK

See? Us grandmas think alike. Just keep it nice and clean and you should be just fine. You'll probably keep a little mark there for the rest of your life. It'll be subtle, but you'll probably always be able to see it faintly.

 

[rentayenta]

NYC is the best city! The energy is indescribable. The pizza is amazing but you've also got to try a dirty water dog.


As far as your arm goes, check out pics of my leg from Sept in my trippie on pg 183. Cut straight to the bone with gobs of gooey fatty tissue. Feel better.

 

[KatGarcia]

Jeez I hope your arm is ok!!!

As far as NYC...ya know I am just a train ride away as well....and Serendipity (despite the closing and what not) is still GREAT. We were there for my birthday and it was fabulous as always.

We really should work on a DIS meet if you aren't too busy! If you need any help with anything let me know!

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw Dawn! Feel better!

 

[heatherlizz602]

OH MY!!!! That sounds painful. Definitely keep it clean. You DO NOT want a big ole infection in your arm! Ray's secretly superman.

 

[scottny]

and magnolia's bakery...cupcakes.....

I am a block and a half from them.



Sorry to hear of your fall and I hope it heals up quickly.

 

[xoktenox]

Ahh Dawn, so sorry to hear about your arm!! I would have definitely been freaking out too! Thank God you had Ray to the rescue

Hope you're not too sore in the morning but if you are, just a good reason to lay around and rest all day Feel better!!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Oh, Dawn, sorry to hear about your fall! I hope your arm is doing better!

On the bright side, congrats on your upcoming trip! Sounds like so much fun! You'll love Wicked! It's a great show!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I posted on Winkers thread too but i hope you are ok!!! i hope your cut heals nicely and your arm stops hurting. YIKES that is scary!! Awesome how fast your DH got there to help you.

 

[Brenle]

If it's red around the edges where it was cut, you'd better get it checked out. You should know after reporting so many depos what can happen if it's infected. Heal fast!

 

[disneymom1980]

I hope your arm is feeling better! Like previous people have said, you realy should get it checked out if it continues to bother you. After my first c-section, I watch my incision rupture in front of my eyes, so I know all about the gross stuff. I thought I was going to pass out when that happened .
