Mommy this is crap

And unfortunately I have to agree with them even though they know that word is a big no-no. We are finally in Pennsylvania and at a Days Inn somewhere off of the Pennsylvania turnpike. Now I have nothing against the state but this hotel is definately not what I like. There's people smoking everywhere including right outside the night window check in and I had to stand there and breath it in while they're just chatting. Lovely. But it should be all worth it since hopefully tomorrow night we will be in Virginia, finally! The first hotel we stopped at some how lost my reservation and then were very rude about it. So we had to head several miles down the turnpike to find another one. I'm still wide awake but very tired.

The rolling avairy

Well here they are - the promised pictures from the rolling avairy. I know it just looks like things are thrown here and there but trust me they are fully emergency slam on the brake proof. Just wanted to share with everyone.

Pretty lights

Well I did it again, had another bad asthma attack. This was the worst I've had in years - so bad in fact that we had to request an ambulance. They gave me a neublizer treatment and I could actually breath again. Which is definately highly rated in my world. So far the Crowne Plaza has not met my expectations at all! And according to all their stuff around the room they're expecting to exceed my expectations. Guess this is going to be another one of those times to see what they are going to do for me. I definately did not enjoy having my family find me on the floor because I couldn't breath. All things that they could've done something about and choose not to do. So on the other hand I do really like their clock radio/ alarm clock. I'm trying to sweet talk John into seeing if they'll sell it to us if it's not to much. Here's a link for anyone who's interested. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=ICFCD863V Well off to pack and get ready for today.

Something to laugh over

These are too funny NOT to share...
enjoy...
Medical Examinations
1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs -and I was in the wrong one.
Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX.
2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.
"Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.
Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA
3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada
4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch.
The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see.
Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!
Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA
5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of com plete confusion she answered..."Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive."
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR
6. I was caring for a woman and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."
Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI
7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery.
When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass."
Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
Submitted by RN no name
AND FINALLY!!!................
8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly.
The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry.
Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener".
Dr. wouldn't submit his name

Happy Anniversary to us!

Today is our 5th anniversary - it started with me being in the ER and is ending with me having yet another asthma attack so we were only able to go about 80 miles today to Monticello, Minnesota. Which is really reaking havoc on our schedule. We were suppose to have been in Wisconsin last night and we still haven't left Minnesota yet... I've just been really worried about finding a place to stay, especially before the movers get here to deliever our furniture. I do not, and will even repeat it, do not want our stuff going into a warehouse for storage. To many ways for things to happen or let our stuff disappear. Guess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that we'll be able to find a place very soon! Gotta go for now my laptop's battery is giving out and with no lights on I can't find a plug. I'll finish this soon.

What the machine says you're dead!

So our anniversary didn't exactly turn out the way I had planned. First we didn't have a nice wake up in fact it's three am and we haven't even gone to bed yet from the 16th! Thanks to the insane smoking/non-smoking planning of this hotel i.e. having a smoking room right across the hall from a non-smoking room I have had several asthma attacks and wound up in the ER. I am happy to report that Douglas County Hospital is very nice. And fortunatly on the same exit as this hotel. I can't wait to see what they will do for us in the morning because they'd better do something. I didn't spend most of my valuable sleep time in the ER and get an IV for nothing. Or have to take an additional medication for 5 more days! The pool was a kind of bummer too - the adults kept wandering into the shallow end of the pool with their water fight and dunking match. I really don't think that they appreciated kicking them back to the deep end but oh well I don't care they almost ran into the Gigi & Daddy (who was temporarily blind since his glasses were sitting with the towel) and then to add insult to injury the women's bathroom was just plain nasty! Life is definately not great at this Holiday Inn. Well it's 3:33 am and we have a long day ahead of us. I'll try to give an update tomorrow night on what happens in the morning.

Prairie Chicken Capital of Minnesota

This one the stop to clean up the girls after their ice cream treat from Dairy Queen. We didn't go as far today because Gigi got sick and then I had two asthma attacks. Lovely. So we are now in Alexandria Minnesota. We were lucky to get a room in the Holiday Inn - which is good since I was shaking so badly from all the albuterol that I doubt I could drive for much longer, not that I should've been driving in the first place but you do what you have to do since it's just the four of us I still have to drive the van. Hopefully I can check out the pool a little later, once I've stopped shaking that is.
