Shredding the Gnar with Magic Friends

[PotteryGal]

Good morning.

Had a semi bad day yesterday, with a majorly great ending.

My grandma fell yesterday over a rug when I brought her home from lunch. She hurt her hip (Which has been broken before) and so I called the ambulance. The EMT guys came over, but grandma could move the leg and everything. She could even put pressure on it. So, they left.

Later my grandma went into shock...although my mom thought she could have been dying on us...so she called the ambulance again and did everything she could to keep my grandma awake.

They took her to the hospital at around 6 that night. They were thinking broken hip, because her leg swelled up and it didn't look right, at all now...even though hours earlier, it had looked fine.

Turns out, after x-rays, she didn't break it at all. Rather she had a hemotoma (HUGE bruise that swelled) on her hip.

So, she stayed in the hospital overnight last night, to help with the pain and she's getting physical therapy today to make sure she's alright. She will probably come home tomorrow if all is well.

Oh goodness! I am so thankful it wasn't broken and they found out what was going on! ((Hugs)) for all of you. :kiss::kiss:

Oh goodness! Sounds like a stressful day. Glad it all worked out in the end. I'll bet that was scary

That must have been very scary for you, Nibbs!
Glad Grandma is okay...she sounds like a real trooper!
Hope today is a better day for everyone.

Hello all -

Doing the number crunching for our summer vacation, always a sobering prospect. Universal is offering a special Harry Potter package that would break down to about 500/person - hotel, tickets, etc. Food would be extra....plus we would be guaranteed use of their express line feature. On the other hand, we have WDW's Yacht Club and Stormalong Bay....the quandary I'm having is whether we would really want to go anywhere on WDW property after spending our days elsewhere, thereby justifying not staying onsite at Universal. I really don't know what to do.....

Here's the package I'm talking about:

Well my vacation trip is up in the air again.
With the plane crash in Austin. I don't know if my taxes went to that building or somewhere else. And now my son was fired last night. He is the one that lives down the street from us and if he doesn't find a job soon we will have to help him pay his bills.

From what I've heard about HP there, you're going to NEED those Express passes this summer. If it wasn't right after HP opened, that might be another issue, but I'd SO stay at universal.

((HUGS)) Poor Susie Q...

Surely your son can find something soon. Why was he fired? Does he qualify for unemployment?

I hope he can but he is one that drags his feet on this kind of thing.

Now that is very tacky.:zipit:

Oh Susie - I'm sorry. ((Hugs))

I'm leaning toward what you said - whether DH will agree is another issue....but I did the figuring and we'd save over 1300 if we just nix Disney this time.....

Oh my...

:hurl::hurl::hurl:
Uh, did you catch the mother of the bride thing? :dazzle: And I have to say I kind of wish I could have been in the mother of the groom's head - she looks ready to spit nails imo.

Nibbs, glad your grandma is ok!!! :kiss:

{{hugs}} for Susie!!

Hi from DIA! I'm flying home in a few. Looking forward to it. We got a whooooole lotta snow yesterday. Can't wait to escape it!

 

[k.hunter30]

Has anyone seen "Couples Retreat"?

I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend! :kiss:

No, were you planning to watch it?

 

[PotteryGal]

The Universal package was just too good a deal...we got 5 nights at the Hard Rock Hotel, with a breakfast one morning at the Three Broomsticks and one hour early entrance to WWoHP. Very happy right now. This just gives us a reason to go to WDW next year. :animwink:

We wanted something to watch on our "date night." Any other suggestions? I really need something light-hearted.

So no Yacht Club? I was looking forward to having some insider info before we check in. :lol:

But, I'm happy for you guys. Universal isn't our cup of tea (maybe when the kids are a bit older), but the Hard Rock Hotel does look really cool.



((Hugs)) for everyone who could use one. :kiss:

Not this year :animwink: Now you will be filling us in. :kiss: I think that might be the next resort we stay at when we go back, just for the pool alone. Possibly even next year, although we may wait until most of the Fantasyland expansion is done.

Joel is very interested in seeing Shrek, Jimmy Neutron, and (believe it or not), the Simpsons ride. We would never let him watch the show, but he's seen the youtube video of the ride and can't stop laughing at all the times Homer goes by on the wrecking ball. There's also Seuss-land over at IoA, Jurassic Park discover center, plus HP of course. And Hard Rock looks like it's right next to the entrance of Universal Studios, so that will be cool.

I'd be happy to fill you in on YC... although my AKL review ended up not helping you much. :lookaroun :lol:

Have you guys ever been to SeaWorld? We're thinking of venturing off Disney property for the first time to check it out. I haven't been since I was a kid....
