My Sis in Law Kris and I went to Orlando this weekend for a Scrapbook expo. It was fun! K and I had a good time, feels like we walked 20 miles (but honestly we probably did walk about 10-12!!! everything was SO far away w/o shuttles!!!!)
We got some great deals on paper (Like on a pack of 125 pages it was 2 for $15, so we each got one.) Got all kinds of stuff for the cruise and the Vegas pics from last year I've done nothing with! It was very cool they had TONS of stations set up and lots of deals and educational things. We shopped and shopped and shopped. Got all kinds of cool stuff and didn't spend to much!
So last night we were at a crop party from 5-midnight (LONG NITE) and they were closing up the show room and expo while we were in another huge area scrapping. Well they were moving these 500+ lb pods with all there stuff that they load into the trucks and stuff for all the expos.
well we had been hearing bangs and booms all night and then they would get on the microphone and tell the expo people to slow down and not do anything, no kids in the packing area, etc etc.
Well I was chatting with K and scrapping and we heard KA-BOOM and a girl scream, I mean toe curling screaming! Then they yelled if there was a doctor or nurse int he house. First it sounded like a joke b/c of the guys voice. Well no it was true they needed help.
one of the pods fell off the 12 inch stage and landed on 19 y/o girl crushing her rt leg, hip, and lower back area. So I came up figgering there'd be more help. Nope it was me and a fire-medic. So I held her neck (C-spine) and assessed the upper end and he did the lower. No pulse in the leg or foot (NOT a good thing!) and her leg was all contorted but there was no open wounds, just abrasions. But she had a crush injury and maybe a lower back injury! so scary, poor girl! And she was all bruised! Poor thing.
So obviously we called 911 or someone did and they came in, couldn't find a pulse either, put on a C-Collar, back boarded her and scooped her up and ran!!!! her rt leg was all twisted! YIKES! Kinda killed the scrap booking mood but still got some work done. I'm just hoping she'll be OK, all though I'll probably never know....
EEK! So that was our excitement for the weekend! Yowsa! ALWAYS something interesting going on!!!!
But still fun, none the less! :) K and I always have a good time together! Have a blessed day in the Lord!!!
OH PS
WE LEAVE IN 1 WEEK FOR OUR CRUISE YAY!!
