Lessons I learned on vacation (the hard way)
 

#1 Do not visit Hell while in Grand Cayman Islands. (Once you've been to Hell and back, life takes a downward spiral.)

#2 When you return from Hell, be very careful. Important: Do not hurry while walking on tile floor on cruise ship or you may take a bad spill and turn your ankle.

#3 Remember what your DH is wearing so he can be easily located by the waiters.

#4 On a brighter note, your visit to the ship's doctor is free, including x-rays, resetting broken fibula, splint and crutches.

#5 Get used to your crutches slowly, or you may take another bad spill in the bathroom at Wendy's once you get to shore.

#6 Remember what your DH is wearing so the employee who finds your body half on the floor, half in the toilet, can summon him quickly before someone calls 911.

#7 When the paramedics arrive, insist you are not hurt, even though you suspect you may have broken a rib.

#8 Do not allow your DH to drag you to one of those stupid time share seminars.

#9 Just in case you missed it, re-read #8.

#10 After you've exhausted all your precious energy looking at the time-share condo ON CRUTCHES, just say NO! Again and again, because the time-share people will not understand it the first 20 times.

#11 Grab your Disney World discount tickets at your first opportunity and run! Or hobble as fast as you can on your crutches, ignoring pain from broken ankle and ribs.

#12 When at Epcot Center, rent a wheelchair for $10 so you don't have to wait in lines. Be careful that the bag of ice on your broken ankle does not melt and turn to water, or some wiseguy will ask: "You got a goldfish in there?" (Yes, it really happened! Lol!)

#13 Let your DH adjust your wheelchair so you don't pinch your finger. After you get your finger pinched in the wheelchair mechanism, have DH get you a cup of ice to soak it in.

#14 Know in advance it is going to feel weird when you and DH use the "community bathroom" together! It is just too weird to sit on the commode and have a male doing the "man stance" in the urinal right next to you! Also, be aware that men make noises that we delicate females are not accustomed to! (DH is sitting here denying this).

It's been an educational vacation and thought I'd share with my MS buddies so you don't make the same mistakes. Don't know when I will check in again. Our plane won't take us home till Saturday. Not sure I can survive another 5 days of R&R. :eek: Please pray for me.

Good to have you back Twink.....

Hope you enjoyed your holiday.....but...

Tell me you didn't break anything....tell me this was just embroidey for any-one who wanted to hear about your trip.

Tell me it isn't true Twink!!

Common Twink.....you were kidding us ...weren't you?

Please say you were......

wow Not sure I want to plan a vacation...we are thinking florida...but probably at a too hot for my sxs time..but only time we really can do it with the kids.....inlaws live there...so might be there two weeks...(hubby already said something teasing me about taking me so my feet can go numb so much that I cant feel anything...)

sorry about your vacation fun...:rolleyes: hugssss,sarah (come home safely dear)

You tell such a good story that you make it difficult to feel bad for you, but I'm forcing myself. Just kidding. Praying for your speedy recovery, but in the meantime, we'd all enjoy reading the chapters in the ongoing saga...

Hello there Twinkle from across state. Hope your trip was fun anyways.

Twink,
While I feel bad reading your story, you made me laugh so hard DH remarked on it. I fell on bathroom tile floornthe other day, split side of nose open (luckily after years of being a mommy, know head wounds can bleed ALOT so didn't panic at blood on floor). No scar left!!!!

I've been to condo things. Not fun either but got a room free at a ski lodge.

Twink,
Obviously fun ain't for sissies.

OMG!!!:eek: Twink you certainly are making memories of this vacation.

Although, it is hard not to smile at your story. Maybe it's the way you worded it. LOL.

Take it easy and enjoy the rest of your vacation.
