what a trooper
I was at PO:Riverside with my mom, who out of respect I will only say is significantly older than I am (lets say late middle aged...)
It was very early in the morning, but my mother acts like a child at WDW and wanted to be in the first bus going to MK for Early Entry. For some reason or other, we were running a few minutes "late," and we thought we heard the bus coming as we were nearing the Lobby Area. Therefore, we both took off to catch the bus. While of course I get ahead of her, and I glance back in time to see her go down HARD. Turns out she caught her shoe tip in an uneven tile in front of the Cotton Mill building. She fell really, hard, but fort. she didn't break anything. She did have huge scratches on her arms, a big gash in her knee and scratched glasses. I immediatly suggested we go back to the room, get some ice, take it easy...
Well that wasn't going to happen. She insisted we go to MK and do "all the rides" anyway. I know she was in a lot of pain so I really tried to get her to forget it for the day, but she can be stubborn. So, we went to MK, we did Space Mountain 5 times in a row, did a few other things, and finally I made her go to First Aid where they took good care of her.
They couldn't believe she had actually gone on Space Mountain five times in that condition! Neither could I!
