Happy Birthday Smidgy!![]()
OK, lets review the Nurse Ratchet version of Nebo's trip report:
1 - Orthostatic Hypotension causes Nebo to pass out
2- Nebo cracks his very hard head onto pavement (poor pavement) causing what we will assume is
3 - a concussion
Nebo feels like CRAPOLA and, since he didn't have my number and couldn't call and get good advice, didn't spend the first few days after getting the concussion pumping himself full of WATER and only taking his aspirin, ibuprofen and vikes with food instead primarily took them on an empty stomache washed down with a bit of soothing alcohol so.....
4 - Nebo vomits
because even a well trained Nebo iron stomache can only take so make insult
Thankfully I don't think you vomited because of hitting your head, it had been a bit too long since the injury. Vomiting after a closed head injury happens because the pressure inside your head builds up too high because you are bleeding inside your head. Since you are here to tell the story its a pretty educated guess that you didn't bleed inside your head. By the way dehydration will also cause a KILLER headache so I think the fact that you were probably dehydrated when you took your header in the park probably made the concussion headache worse.
Please tell me there is not a 5. I'm running out of fancy medical terms here! (CRAPOLA being one of them)
Hello, my name is Shannon, and I'm an unreliable DISer. The only cure is planning a trip, in which case, copious amounts of Nebo & Smidgy are prescribed. In fuzzy cups. Preferably un-concussed. (is that a word?)
I do remember back when we had the same avatar. Had to be years ago!
I'm not mad at anyone. I'm just a little sensitive. I'm sure nobody sees my husband and wonders why he has the scooter, although some people have made idiotic comments like, "It must be nice!" Although I am dieting right now (hence, Mrs Cranky-Pants, no relation)I have a tendency to be, shall we say, "bootylicious". I always worry that when Brian can't take the scooter anymore, and I drive for a while, people are looking and saying, "She wouldn't have that big behind if she'd get out of the scooter and walk."
I know what you mean about cheaters, though. They really frost me. I do believe that they will get their comeuppance one day. Payback's a mama dog, you know?
Well I started doing some call outs and noticed you did my job for me. So I figured my work was done. Plus work got in the way. Then I realized work wasn't quite done yet. The TR isn't finished yet.
We kidnapped her and are holding her for ransom. If you want her to finish the TR, send us one million dollars in Disney bucks and we'll let her write another chapter.
.
Wow, bravo lady Barb, well done, I feel like I am now one call away from my own reality show.
However:
I know you weren't being too 'literate' , and just kidding a bit, but the vomit vermin didn't show up till wednsday,,, pain killers,,, reall ones,,, were all gone monday. And I didn't have a thing to drink before the nuke puke session.
Believe it or not the aspirin and ibuprofen are WAY worse on your stomache than the "real" ones are..... so stick to vikes from now onand I'm more illiterate than literate!
Speaking of vomit (don't often get to write that in a trip report) I have worked with cancer patients for years now and you wouldn't even believe what I've seen um... barfed up, but the spaghetti story is hard to top! (except possibly with parmesan cheese)

Um, I don't really care if you release her for another chapter to write,,,,, uh, um,,,
I just want the pictures of her tied up in,,,,,,,,
oh, did I just say that outloud?

Oh yeah, Barb Baby Barb; I am very well versed in theatre of the regurge, and you are absolutely right.
My problem is keeping an eye on my liver, which are the mainstay of Vikes, and basically ALL the prescription P-killers.
And would it be too vain to admit that I busted out laughing myself when I added in the line when John and I looked at each other after looking in the sink with the vomit in it, "What? No garlic bread?"
Disgusting or not, sometimes something just catches my fancy, I guess.
Uh oh, Now it sounds like I made that line up completely and that it didn't happen, just made it up for the trip report to get a laugh.
Wow, that's inconceivable that somebody would actuallyh lie and do something like that.
And there's a great chance that I did lie about that last line!
But it might have happened just as I said! Everything else is right on the money about the drinking and puking part, maybe that line also came out and that's why it popped in my head strong enough to write it just now.
And if not, who cares?
Sigh. Nope. I usually pronounce it as Dee Gee Three - an abbreviation from Devilsgirl3, which was my first AOL chat name. Grew out of a hockey reference (as in the NJ Devils), but most people thought of the other Devil instead, so I shortened.
Oh heck, two responses in two days. Gonna have to revoke my lurker status soon, I guess.
You can always get a pretty darn good idea that the post coming up is not going to be a rip roaring laugh fest telling you how much fun they are having with your reports, when you see the first word in the post starts with with,
"Sigh".
Like when you read a post from a new person that goes on and praises you on how much they have enjoyed life lately and been laughing "right out loud".
And then the next word you see coming up in the next paragraph is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"but",,,,,,,,,,,,,,.
"However" , is a close second.
Oh, Nebo! That had to be the ultimate, by far supreme TR I have ever read about puking!!!I don't think anyone will ever be able to chuck up a better visual than yours.
Now that I paid homage, may I go back to lurking? tee hee!
ps.. Luv ya both.

Lisa! Gosh and b'Gorry, Jiminy Crickets, how great to see you again too.
No, I know it hasn't been anywhere near as long as Luvmyboys, but I don't care. When it comes to getting familiar with certain people, and also,
starting to feel as if they have transcended the leap from just an "Internet Friend" into " somebody that I wish to keep hearing from, for me it's ALWAYS a treat to see the Prodigal Child return and make a comment.
Or three.
Hey, we're going to WDW in December. We need money. Especially if Nebo has another incident. Want to be able to help him out.
Please tell my you won't be let down if I don't step on a live hand grenade or something!
But I'm sure you know, extra vikkies are always appreciated, I have learned that no matter how well things seem to be going, there's always a NEW hour after this one.
Good one.
Oh, you're just saying that to make me feel good.
Wait, hold it, that doesn't make sense.
No, You're just saying that to,,, uh,,,,,,,,Oh, I'm so confused.
ok,, you are just saying that,,,,,,,,
Boy,,, ok,,,, I quit.
You got me, nothing I can do to stop it.
Ah!! You are doing a GASLIGHT routine on me!
Oh, how diabolically clever and evil you turn out to be.
But I see it now. Everybody,,,,, RUN!
He may target you next!
But you'd have no problem getting in to Canada.
Ha! Think I'm buying that now, do you?
As your cousin is standing guard just waiting for a Steve Nebo to come into target range!
"Excuse me sir, but I see you have several handguns, a semi-automatic rifle and a fully auto machine gun... as well as several pounds of C4. Will you be using any of this for nefarious purposes?"
"No."
"All right then. Welcome to Canada, eh."
Not so obvious... hmmmm... that means it can't contain the word "change".
How about: You know what they say:If your kid swallows coins, you can deduct it from their allowance.
Or maybe:You know what they say: You can't start saving for college too soon.
Kidding? So even if we send the money, you still won't let her write?
That's just mean.
Ok, I do believe you have seen my response earlier on the last subject you just mentioned, funny how I make my priorities so obvious, eh?
Now:
You have no idear how thrilled I am that nobody has blurted out what I thought was an extremely obvious answer to the "Jokes 101 " workshop question" from the last chapter.
That is the problem now with Gurgle, every trivia crustacean I used to ask now get's answered in a hearbeat, so my sidebars are basically non=-existent now.
Ok, back to the present.
Well, ok, back to the past/present.
Jeremy really did swaller that Buffalo Head Nickel, and yes, at first Smidgy did have to take him to the Hopisital cuz he insisted on changing different colors in his face, and yes, it was scary for her for a bit, AND yes, SHE was the one that came up with what I thought was a totally classic zinger line when she told me all about it when I got home from work:
(this is the one I wanted you to fill in yourselves)
Nebo: "so, nothing to worry about now? Not stuck in his throat or a choking hazzard?"
Diane: "Nope, nothing to worry about at all, and as far as my Buffalo Nickel and the whole situation goes:"
Now, aren't you ashamed for not seeing that one coming? Heh
Love all you folks, and I mean it, really, don't know what I'd do without all of you.
Hugs and hugs.
"This too shall pass"
My nephew has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair and someone had the nerve to make a comment to my brother-in-law a few years back. I wish I could remember his exact words, but pretty much he said "Yeah, for the 5 minutes I saved in line, I'm so glad my six year old is disabled for life. I'm sure he'd trade places with you right now." Some people are just unbelievable.
