I bet if you call the DCL # on their package info they can help you. I think it on the front page of the on-line DCL.

I need to start packing... yes, I'm whining...

 

[PirateCutie05]

I have no time to think about packing yet...all I can think about is classes tomorrow.

Jan, thanks for the tip about a dark shirt. I'll remember to grab one of my dh's out of his luggage...

 

[PirateCutie05]

Taeja I love the boy on the trike in your signature! He cracks me up in the Incredibles!

I was just thinking of him the other day b/c my youngest dd shouted that out. I just had to find him and put him in my siggy thanks.

I'm using the sticky keyboard, bear with me folks.

We did this in Orlando!!!

We did this in Orlando!!!

That is so amazing. I would love to do that some day.


I'm watching a special on Primetime about John Karr...the guy in the Jon Benet case. She was such a cute little girl...it's so sad.

Edit: That man is sick! He married a a 13 year old...and he wanted her to look younger...he had fantasies about younger girls. *shudders* And something about him kissing little girls on the face, on the neck, on the feet. Eek what a pedofile!

But there are good things too! It's not for everyone.

So true.....oone of the nurses I work with once asked me how I can deal with all of the young patients with such devastating injuries without crying every day. I told her you have to look at what they learn to do in our facility and find the joy in that. Most of the paraplegic and quadraplegia patients we get are under 30, and most of the head injuries are even younger.

I think it's easier in rehab, because we see them once they are stable (usually - except for that time Shands sent us a patient who was in respiratory distress DURING transport, but that is another story) and so that becomes their baseline. I only get sad sometimes when family comes in and they don't know what to say, or when I see their picture up on the wall when they were riding a bike or something.

The good times definately outweigh the bad, and I too would never work anywhere else.

You"ll never guess what I saw on ebay. Someone is selling the DVD cruise stuff you can get for free from Disney!

The sad thing is someone will probably bid on it.

wow, you have a tough job too.

 

[taeja71]

I'm going back in my mind trying to remember if Kerry did post on Sunday... should we make a pool out of it and find out? Sunday feels like forever ago.

Just a reminder: If you want to be notified of any adverse weather conditions concerning our DCL cruise or boarding PM Vicki (the trunk) Purplern to get further details.

 

[Blackunicorn]

What a terrible thing to say. That's like the reports interviewing someone's family member of someone who died and asking them how do you feel?

Which is exactly why I appreciate that you are a caring nurse!

 

[zweihund]

wow, you have a tough job too.

Tough, but very cool. I get to teach quadraplegics how to get dressed by themselves. I get so excited when they make progress, sometimes they think I'm a little nuts

Ok, my dogs are begging to go in their kennels - poor Oscar is nearly passed out on the floor, whimpering between snores.

Nite.

 

[PirateCutie05]

I must be off to bed now...class at 9 tomorrow morning! Night everyone.

 

[taeja71]

Do I dare wait for Patsy?

 

[Blackunicorn]

Holly, why don't you get a gift basket from Shirley at The Perfect Gift? From what I've seen she's a truly caring person who'll help you get exactly what you want. I know she's on the boards somewhere...I can try ferreting out her contact info if you're interested.

PS--I've been reading that Mommy and Me trip report that someone posted the link to...I'm once again impressed that our group is so kind to each other and so supportive! No trolls here!
