Can't do a happy dance!!!

[Feelslikeadream]

Sometimes I wonder if bad things really happen in three's? On Easter Sunday my DD 3 became extremely ill, she was hospitalized for 1 week. Then three days later I was rushed to the hospital, my appendix decided it had to come out. So life was crazy and the recovery was painful. With patience and time we made it through..........up until July 10th...... my husband and I had been given the opportunity to go out for the evening,my mom offered to take all 4 kids over night. HOW EXCITING!!!!! The evening went beautiful, a great dinner at our favorite italian place, then out for drinks and time together with friends. The weather was perfect and the company was great!!!!! How could anything go wrong????

Again.... still waiting for the #3 bad thing!!!!!

Around 1:30am I decided to go outside to my car to get something, I wasn't too familiar with my surroundings, steppped down off the porch in the dark, and then .........

CRASH.....BAMMM.....CRUNCH!!!!!!


I had missed a step and fallen.

The next morning I knew I was in big trouble, went to the urgent care, hoping and praying for two sprained ankles!!!!

Well..... #3 had arrived....... BOTH ANKLES ARE BROKEN!!!!!!!!!

I am a Mom of 4 all under 10!!!!!
I am a wife that takes care of everything around the house!!!!
I am the glue that keeps things together.

For the next 4-6 weeks I am contained to a chair and a walker, I even have a wheelchair!!!

So all I do with my time is sit,and sit,and sit... read DIS read DIS read DIS!!!

I pray that my streak of bad luck is over.... we leave for WDW Nov 1 for 9 days.... First time for our family and his Mom and Dad....

I truly must convince myself that dreams do come true!!!! Right now as I look down at my ankles I trluy do not feel much magic!!!!!!

So my advice to all of you !!!! Before you step look down!!!!!


So there won't be any happy dances from me for quite some time,, so for all the dancers ...... could you do some for me!!!!!!

HOLY COW! You poor thing! I remember how hard it was with only one sprained ankle and an infant and toddler. But, hey....look on the bright side. Your accident happened on July 10...not October 10! You'll have plenty of time to heal before you spend 9 days trekking through Disney parks. Good luck to you and HAPPY HEALING!

 

[Goofy_4_WDW]

Just keep thinking of your up coming trip. You will be healed then and you will all have a wonderful trip!
until then all your dis friends will pull you through
days are ahead

So, so very sorry for your streak of bad luck! I see you have twin sons, like me. Maybe it's time to them to pay back Mom for all those years of loving care! Hint, Hint..

Wishing you a very speedy recovery! Keep the faith!

 

[mandysmom]

I hope you will recover quickly! My grandmother always said bad luck came in threes, so I'm sure your streak is over. You will have a well deserved great time on your trip!

bad things really happen in three's? [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

Yes, bad things do happen in three's, unfortunately....
I feel for you, you poor baby I had two c-sections with no one to help me, and my husband worked midnights. Then I had my ovary taken out when my kids were 2 and 3 and then a carpal tunnel surgery when they were 3 and 4. All with no help. I totally sympathize with you. It was Tough, very hard.
You can't even reason with little ones like you can with bigger kids - they're not gonna help you do most things! I'll pray for you while saying my Rosary.
Until then, just don't push yourself and get better because there is a light at the end of your tunnel - And that's the Disney fireworks shows you'll be attending!

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all..................

Sorry to hear of your ill fortune and here's hoping your trip is uneventful (save for those random acts of magic!!!)

And now - a line of dancing bananas to ward off the worst evil anti-disney demons!!!!



and a cheerleader for good luck!
