Hi all. this one is not typed first on word so may have lots of errors... sorry for ya. I now can say that times up on the pre planning and I have allready had a genious stroke of crappy day. The tale goes something like this: Arrive to the ER with 6 ambulances in the bay and one helicoptor on the pad and all hell breaking loose. the worst of it was the precious 2month old baby girl that was thrown out of the car because her parents neglected to strap her in her carseat. My er is an adult er so it is paticularly stressfull on the staff when cases like this come to us. later in my shift code blue light goes off and i take off running to a false alarm (thank God!). Few minutes later I am "just standing looking at a shelf" I swear all I was doing was standing there and I guess I hyper extended my right knee and I am in excruciating pain. couple doses of ibuprofen and naproxen later I am still hurting but not as bad. The worst part of this ordeal is MY DH you know "stick in the mud" that should be renamed Naps tooo much with his bad ankle has allready been told that I would leave him behind in the hotel if i heard even a whimper out of him has just said the same too me. I have one more 12 hour shift tonight and 2 days left after that to get my knee up to 8 days of non stop disney... Note to self better take along a 3rd bottle of ibuprofen oh and a heating pad....Needless to say I have yet to plan my itenarary for epcott. I do have 540 Ps at Le Celliaereeee how ever you spell that fancy name of a dining facility in Canada. All I know for sure is I will eat ther I will ride Soarin and I will get a Margarita in Mexico. Ohh and if any of you Disers happen to run accross a slightly overweight, out of shape, thirty something, with a limp and a great tan accompanied by a taller than his mom full fledged "Playa" his "little bother " and a shorter than his wife Long haired Hispanic, that be me and my crew So Ya'll dont forget to say HI now and feel real sorry for me cuz by god I am not going to feel sorry for myself and ruin this magical trip I have worked so hard to take. Thats all folks... I hope to have time to write a little in my trip journal along the way so I can come home with a full account. God bless us all and please always always always buckle up you and your loved ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
 
The ER can be stressful but since I had to retire I miss it every day.
Have you thought about a stretchy soft knee support?
Pixie dust for a great trip.

I would not do anything else I love my job so much. I slept late today must have been much needed cuz i never do that. My knee feels much better today so I think I will be fine. praying that we have an unconventionally good 4th of july today and every one is safe. :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1
