I am home briefly from vacation to check in, work on a project, check emails, get skateboards, etc...Our 7 day beach camping vacation is going....well, it just would not be right if we did not make a trip to the emergency room(in the back of an ambulance) and it was none of the 20+ kids (under the age of 15) that are in our group...
I had to cal 911 early Tuesday morning because my dad's back went COMPLETELY OUT and he ended up on the floor of the motor home. He was admitted Tuesday & and released on Wednesday afternoon and is back at the campsite doing nothing but taking medication and trying to stay still...(ha ha ha)
We like to make commotion at the campground early in the morning because I locked my keys in the car LATE Tuesday night (after trips back and forth to the hospital) and so when Auto Club came to get them out EARLY Wednesday morning...as they were "breaking into my car" the alarm went off.....for quite a while....
WE ARE FUN!
other than a few sunburned scalps & shoulders and sand in the eyes, all is well. We are all super "Trail Blazers" and as long as we do not run out of S'More's, we should be fine..
but we still have 4 more days....
Been there & done that with my dad several years ago. BUT he wouldn't let me call an ambulance. My uncle & I had to lift him into the vehicle to get him to the emergency room.
Glad you're enjoying the rest of your week!

Oh my dear - I've had my back *go out* one time - obviously not so bad, but I scared my 9yo DD, shrieking at her to go get Daddy. And weirdest of weird: he pulled me up off the floor, and I felt this "clunk" (only way to describe it) and I could kind of walk after that, but crooked. Well, ya got a great picture, anyway!
