Don't get hurt, it's almost March Break!

[grantclaire]

I said these words to the DS17 as we drove to the High School Regional Wrestling Championships, he had told me he was going to give it his all to try to win and hoped to go to the Provincials. He is in grade 12 so this would be his final chance. He had been hurt back in December with a concussion and was not able to train for almost 8 weeks. He was cleared to train and compete about 6 weeks ago. He worked very hard to try to get back into shape. He was able to win 4 matches but fell short ending up in 5th place. He was hugged by his coaches, teammates and friends as he came off the mat for the last time. We were all so proud of him. Most important except for some cuts and bumps no major injuries! I told he will look good sitting around the pool in Orlando!

I tend to not say those things because I think I jinx myself. A few weeks ago my daughter and I were walking past all the people waiting at the fracture clinic in our hospital and I said don't ever break anything because I don't want to have to wait in that lineup ever. So that night, my son fractured his wrist skiing.

Enjoy your trip!

Congratulations to your son! I hope you guys have a wonderful trip! We don't worry too much before we go.. it appears all of our calamities are scheduled for when we are actually ON the trip. I am more familiar with Orlando hospitals and walk in clinics than one should have to be.

We are heading to Aulani for march break and I'm desparately trying to avoid anyone with any hint of a cold or flu bug!

I was the same right before we left (got home last night )
We ski every Sunday and I was a nervous wreck for the 6 weeks before our trip!!! I think the words 'slow down!' and 'careful!' came out of my mouth more in those 6 weeks than in the 8.5 years that they've been alive!!

We have had only one trip to a Dr in Orlando when the DD came down with an ear infection, I also learned early that I have to wear a hat when in the pool! The Florida sun can burn!

I worry more about getting a cold or something like that before going on vacation. I usually make everyone take extra vitamins and acidophilus. Now, my DD is a competitive dancer and has comps, auditions and shows from Feb thru June and that's what gets me nervous about injuries. Without fail every single year she needs an emergent appointment with her athletic therapist a day before some event.

Last Christmas we got up for our drive day too Buffalo to fly the next day, (6.5 hour drive) My 16 year old starting puking in the shower. We waited til 3 pm before we left because she couldn't keep water down. It was a long drive!!! We masked before flying the next morning. Loaded upon gravol. We landed and it was my turn within an hour. No more of that. 12 days too go.

We leave in 3.5 weeks and both DD7 and I are sick. She has a cold, and I have some gastro bug or ate something that doesn't agree with me. Both of us will be home tomorrow, hopefully mine is a 24-48 hour thing. I hope that DH doesn't get either illness and we are done with being sick by then.

I know the feeling......I run daycare out of my home, and little germ carriers they are.

I spent the P/A Day and long weekend trying to decide if I was ................................

a) going to the hospital--awful lower back pain...this is after I cried and had a full blown meltdown directed at my kitchen looking a mess(sons cooking again),,I never cry and yell at the same time,,,I think I got my point across.(The kitchen is clean)

Hope you start to feel better soon! I feel your pain, the DD21 is home for reading week. Picked her up at the airport, when I picked up her suitcase to load into the car ,I felt a twinge in the lower back. I now have some pills and icepacks and heating pads. "why is your bag so heavy? I ask. Oh just all my textbooks I need to study" Good luck!
