The Best of intentions
Well, I made it to my Dad's in Florida yesterday. What a day! Supposed to be a 2 hr to 2 1/2 hr flight out of Philly International. Had a 2 1/2 hr layover in Raleigh Durham. The flight from there to Orlando was very trying. A little boy named Zadoc sat next to me. It was his 5th birthday and they were going to the Disney cruise. Well it was little Zadoc's first plane trip. AND he was very smart and talkative and very ADHD! (Kind of reminded me of David when he was 5.) OMG! He must have said: "Did I tell you today was my birthday? I am 5 today" at least 15 times on the way down! Oh, and the little infant in front of me cried the whole time and his big sister, maybe 5 or so, sat in front of me and rocked in her seat the whole time, jiggling my tray with my soda on it the whole time. I just smiled and read a couple of pages of a magazine as i could not concentrate on my book.
Relaxing today, reading my new book "The Home." Very good so far. I am 30% of the way through it and the battery was going on the Kindle Fire. So I figured, let me go charge it up and then go walk on the treadmill for a while and watch a movie. Best of intentions, right? Well, get the movie into the DVD player, Molly Flanders. Looks good. I love Morgan Freeman. i turn around to get off the treadmill to get something before I get started and somehow twisted my ankle, BAD! Wow! Right when my foot hit the carpet my whole ankle gave way. I haven't felt that much pain in a long long time. Literally sat on the floor trying to get my self to remember to breath.
Well, guess I won't be doing the treadmill for a few days!
Have it propped up right now with ice. The whole side of my ankle is all swollen and very purple. Throbbing. Will ask my stepmom, Shirley for some anti inflammatory pain meds when she comes home from work. I feel like such an idiot! At least I can finally move my toes again. Praying I will be able to walk ok for Saturday as we are going to the Florida Mall for the day to go shopping. If I have to rent a wheelchair, I am going!!

Woot! I hope the ankle is just bruised and nothing worse! As for the plane...I can handle just about everything but the crying baby. I try to remind myself that the parent is not enjoying it either.
Enjoy your visit with your Dad!
What does \"woot\" mean? (above)
My longest plane ride was 3-1/2 hours, nonstop to Jamaica. It went smoothly. The seats were rather small and the food mediocre, but overall Air Jamaica did their stuff well. So sorry your ankle is sprained! WRDTI. (What a revoltin\' development this is!)
Hope you are doing better. It\'s not fun to get hurt on vacation.
What movie was it with morgan freeman?
I hope you are taking it easy and it\'s just a bad sprain. good luck. have a great trip anyway. i\'m sure you\'ll make the best of it. what a freak accident that was.
hugs
