Mitch Update

[havingfunnow]

It is absolutely five o'clock somewhere! Pour the wine!

We're all holding our breath, waiting with you . . .

Go for the wine! You've got your two human angels with you and lots of us virtual angels pulling and praying for you!

(love the Blue Marlin plate! The burger looks pretty tasty too!)

Aw, doesn't Mitch sound sweet? Well don't let that fool ya! She is still mean to us (when we won't let her do stuff she has no business doing!). I have to be mean SOME way, I can't threaten to push her in the pond, like I normally do.

Ronnie is fine, thank y'all for the concern. He never hit the ground, so it could have been worse. We were getting ready to leave the campground, had just gotten him from his wheelchair to the lift seat, ready to slide him over to the truck seat when he lost his balance. Luckily he fell over into the truck where his head was on the console, torso slid under the steering wheel & legs hanging out. We tried to move him, but couldn't. There was no one else in our loop & no cell phone signal at all. We were honking the horn & I was screaming for help at the top of my lungs, hoping that someone would hear us. We were able to get him a grip on the console so he wouldn't slide any further & I ran up the road till I got one bar on my phone, got on the park website, got their phone number & called for help. Figured that would be quicker than 911 getting there. Two rangers came racing over, cutting across the grass, straight to us. I tell ya, they looked like the Calvary coming to save us, at that point I was crying & could barely talk from screaming. They were able to help me get Ronnie back in his chair, collect himself & then back in the truck safely. Other than a scrape on his hip & sore muscles & necks on both of us, I think he is all okay. Since he has no feeling from his upper chest down, I checked him good this morning for any bruising...oh I forgot, he does have a knot on his forehead. When we were putting him in the truck, the Rangers helped me lift him & they went so high he fell over face first into the truck door & saw stars. We all laughed that it was a good thing he has a hard head!

Anyway, we're here with Mitch & Phyllie. Mitch is doing her best to take it easy & that is so very hard for her....we remind her often.

This is the first time in awhile that I have been able to post and look what happens.
Vickie, What a horrible and scary thing to happen. I'm glad Ronnie is OK and you are no worse for wear. We don't always realize what you do on an everyday basis. Hugs to you both.

Mitch, I'm glad you are slowly but surely getting better. Let everyone help you and concentrate on healing. I know everyone already said that numerous times, so one more won't hurt. Reading your posts I know your spirits are improving and will continue to do so.

It's hard to be at your house and have others take care of you. You are the hostess with the mostess and find it difficult to have others perform that function. Too bad. The Blue Marlin will not lose a star in its ratings during this period of recuperation.

Take care and listen to your caregivers. HUGS, Linda

P.S. you can always get a bell. Won't that drive Ms. Vickie crazy? I know, one for you and one for Ronnie... Yep, that's the ticket.

Last night's dinner - burger on homemade, buttered, grilled bun (I did not lift the KitchenAid - had to have Phyllie do that), and roasted asparagus...yummo.



Now, in several hours, I hope to post a picture of The Little Beast sleeping with the Happy, Clean, Healthy Cell...

I cannot believe how scared I am.
Wish I could take a chill pill.
Or wine.
Yes, wine.
It's 5:00 somewhere, right?

..

Just set the clock to five and break it. That way it will always be 5 O'clock. Hang in there. Linda

Ya know Linda, we really REALLY need to meet up at a GTG! Not that I'm the kind of person that seeks revenge or anything, since I'm so sweet.

That picture is just plain comical! I'll bet Ronnie's making sure he has a full charge all the time! Just how far can he go on a charge and how fast can he get there? Because from the looks of things you need to keep a close eye on him.

Pat, he was in his push chair, getting exercise, so he says.
