MAY 12th-19th!! THESE ARE THE MAYS OF OUR LIVES! II

[huggiebear23]

hey guys...

i swear i am cursed...

please note that i am up at a ridculously early hour...... on saturday

why you ask...

oh, because i think i sprained my ankle... yeah seriously...

generally, not a big deal... but considering what i will be doing and where i will be in oh, about 3 weeks... this is a disaster...oh, and did i fail to mention that when i switched jobs a few months ago that i didn't get their medical coverage ... why ... because i am a freakin idiot... i didn't know that you could switch or drop coverage when there is a "life change"... and i knew that bob was going to put me on his insurance after the wedding

i was helping my friend rachel move out of her apartment last night and on my FIRST trip down the steps( FIIIIRRRRRRSSSSTTTT TRIP......)
i was going down the steps with bags full of pillows... yes pillows... i missed the last step rolled my ankle and fell up against the wall tried to catch myself...failed miserably and then proceeded to bite it ...HARD...

I have a brush burn down by my elbow and my ankle is really really tender... and my ego is pretty bruised "what, you just got here... wait, weren't you carrying pillows" it doen't HURT... knock on wood... but, when i roll my ankle around... i don't know if anyone will know what i'm talking about, but when you feel like you're ankle or your knuckle needs to crack... but it won't and your cartilage just feels kinda spongey... ... sorry if that sounds gross... but that's what it feels like... i could not sleep...

well, that's a lie, i was sleeping just fine about an hour ago until my cat handsome, came in bed wanted to cuddle, and continued to put his paw in my mouth until i woke up and moved over so he could lay with me...

cute, but thanks a lot pal, now i'm wide awake... thinking the worst...

so, i know that a lot of your kids play soccer and this thing has to be fairly common... anyone have any advice for me...i need help... what do i do??????

i webmd'd myself... (thus me being online at dawn) it says that ice -elevation and anti inflammitory meds are best ASAP (bob even said i should have put something on it last night... i hate being stubborn ) anyway, i'm gonna go do that... i just needed the mayers to listen to my problems...

oh, and i also canceled some of my ADR'S not many, but ones that we KNEW that we probably weren't gonna go... hopefully i just made someone else's trip better and God will take mercy on me and make this go away SOON!

I'll check back in after I ice myself down....

Oh boy, rest your ankle today. I hope you feel better. Which adr's did you cancel?

 

[JoBird]

Mornin-
I see I missed a lot yesterday!

NC- you had me laughing and scared for you thru the whole story!!!
I am glad you've got some big burly's to back you up. Be careful.

Sulley- I am so glad you get your car soon! I know it must be really hard not being able to go many places and do too much. I AM going to ride M:S- green team in October!!!! Woo Hoo! I am excited to know it's not that bad!

Sea- DLP- yes, want to go, want to go!!!!! Haven't broached the subjest to Mark yet... He grew up all over, being the son of a Colonel in the AF- and went to High School in Belgium- so we are always talking about going back. I want to go back to Rome and the Isle of Capri- he wants to go to Belguim and Germany- why not throw Paris back into the mix? i don't need to go back to the Eiffel tower- I'd just go back there to go to DLP. Didn't love france that much... Italy, however, was lush.

Hey shelly!!! Not much longer!

Huggie- ditto! You are sooo close!

MAri- How are you with your new lease on life?????

RF- okay, Nurse Jo is here. I'll even cut you a deal- only $150 today for my advice. My fees go dwn on the weekend.
Get an ace bandage and wrap your ankle to support it- then lay down and ice it. Stay off of it all day today- keep it elevated. If you can move it, it's no broken. It feels "spongy" b/c when you have inflammation, fluid accumulates in the affected area- your body's way of healing itself. Take advil, make sure you eat something first. See how it feels tomorrow- keep it wrapped for support for as long as you can.

There. Advice from Nurse jo. Really. I am a nurse. Okay, my degree is shelved back in SC collecting dust, but i am degreed, none the less.

Now, on to my saga-
Belle is sick. AAgain. She's thrown up three times in the past hour and a half.
UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH-
and we are having company over tomorrow- friends from when we lived in NY- and AR- and now we are here in PA together.

Sheesh- Drew's game is today too. Guess who isn't going anywhere? ME!

Have a great day-
Hope all the MAYers feel loads better-






Jo

oh, because i think i sprained my ankle... yeah seriously...

MOrning RF - I hope you feel better... but yes you are right put ice on it... if you can stay OFF your foot all day today and even try tommorow. Hey this is a good way to have Bob wait on you hand and foot....

I feel so much better as if a weight has been lifted off of me ....I hope Belle feels better soon . Poor thing was just sick... I hope Drew has a great day at his game today. How is the weather? Today my DB and Dnephew start baseball season so i will be there today.... it's ok it will be 71 degrees today so that should be nice.

I hope everyone's weekend is good. Tommorow I go to the circus again with DH, DD, DB, and Dnephew. My DD LOVED it... can't wait....

 

[NewCrew42]

Yep...They're bringing me my car....I can't wait to have my own transportation again. They're going to be here for 3 days, staying at Pop Century from May 26-28.

I finally rode Green Team, and it's cake. If you can ride Soarin', you can ride M:S Green....It's almost surpassed Soarin' as my fav ride in EPCOT (I can also get on it with a minimal wait, not so true w/ Soarin')



I'm super excited to see them again



If you do OK with Soarin', you should at least try the Green team.



It varies, we rotate throughout the building every 20-60 minutes....what I may have to do is give y'all my cell # and have you text me when you're near so I can tell you where I'm at....That's what I do when my roommates and friends come through. The only places I can't reply from are the out front positions, where you'd see me anyways.

M:S is the bomb! We love it! I am so glad you rode it!

 

[NewCrew42]

FYI - My DH packs himself. (Where is JC with that packing cow smilie?)

Years of travel when he was a young, single working guy. (You know you hear everyone in the office say, "Send the single guy.")

RF - A bag of frozen corn makes the best ice pack (not corn on the cob.) It just molds to your ankle or whatever you need to ice. I always keep a couple in my freezer. Just mark them with a sharpie that they are ice packs. That way you never eat them.

Can you guys tell I use humor to deal with stress in my life? I was completely wigged out on Thursday. I feel much better about it all today. It was so theraputic to write it all down here. Thanks Mayers!

The dinner with the boys went great. They were kicked out of the mall. They were not allowed to have a scavenger hunt there (which makes sense, as they do not need to be running in the mall which is exactly what would happen.)

Some the guys hung out downstairs out our house and just chatted. The others inlcuding my son, were upstairs playing "Gladiator" with their shirts off and bopping each other with pillows as they tried to run the "gaunlet." What a crew!

They were too funny.

Well, I need to get cleaned up to go pick up my son.

Later!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

That is a big fat NOI do it all myself and dress him as well.

Me too!!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good morning!

Happy Saturday everyone!

6 Days NewCrew!! That is so great!!

RF- Get some rest this weekend.

JO - Poor Belle, not again. Sure hope this will pass soon. Good luck to Drew on his soccer game!

We are going to dinner tonight. Kind of a birthday celebration for DS and I. His birthday was the 7th and mine is the 17th. Then soccer tomorrow. Supposed to be like 45 and raining. The snow has been moved back to Monday. Sure hope this is the last blast of winter!

 

[mari360]

Shelly - I hope you have NO snow.... Enjoy dinner tonight...

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

28 DAYS!!!!!



In one month from right now I will be. . . Getting ready to head out to Epcot for the day. Probably get there around 11:00. Have an early lunch at Electric Umbrella. Ride Soarin and TT a bunch of times!! Think about riding M:S. Hopefully run into Sulley. Have dinner at LeCellier for the first time! And see Illuminations for the first time!!

[JoBird]

hey y'all-

well, it wasn't sweet tea this time that is doing the trick...
it's Coke!!!!!

She is feeling a ton better already. WTHeck was that nonsense???????

In a month from now, I am hopefully not cleaning up "frow ups"--- I'll be anxiously awaiting my mOm's arrival into town for a month and a half!

28 days... oh my goodness! I saw NC's ticker and really got the blues. I'll be okay, really, I will.


Jo

For those of you who fly SW, how big are their planes? Just curious. We have only ever flown AirTran and DH said to me the other day that he thinks SW's planes are bigger than AirTran's. . . . AirTran's are 2 seats on one side of the isle and 3 seats on the other side. . .

Illuminations is great. I have a special spot to watch it from.

SW is three on each side.
