Coupl...Yo, Girlfriend!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the blog lesson. Couple of things I learned from your blog, besides what and how to blog...<BR/>3 boys and a husband, youngest son, ahh, what, 22 or 23? married times, is it 30 years, or close to it? a nurse for about the same number of years. And you're afraid to use the word "penis"? Do the boys still refer to "it" as their "private part" (actually, don't answer that)? Hopefully, they don't refer to it at all in your presence. <BR/><BR/>Well, after 15 years of trauma care, 9 in one of the busiest level one trauma centers in the country, I have a couple of stories I could add to the, "I know someone (? did know, or more like, "Johnny we hardly knew ya")who died doing that" blog. Hey, Lightning Happens! I've taken care of at least a dozen lightning strike patients (we were also the area's only burn center). <BR/><BR/>One of the most seemingly benign rough-housing stories I have heard actually turned into a 2 year plus recovery requiring multiple surgeries and a grueling rehab for this 21 year old college student (also delayed his graduation by a year)...buddy jumps on his back while the guy is walking down the stairs, caught offguard and blows out both knees, I'm talking bilateral ACL's, patellar tendons, PCL's (that's posterior cruciate ligaments), and all the cartilage in between. I could tell you much more gory stories, of death and paralyzation, but this one is really quite impressive.<BR/><BR/>OK, funny be careful story about driving...<BR/>I'm working as a Paramedic in NJ and get called to a 2 car MVA at about 3 am. Car number one, with the seemingly less drunk driver and passengers, were being closely followed by car number 2, the driver of #2 worried about their drunk friends making it home safely (they were following them to make sure they got home alright, how many of you have tried this at home?)...driver of car #1 passes out and drives a good 15 feet off road into a tree, driver of #2 followed them alright. They weren't hurt that bad and the cops and us were cracking up, we nearly pissed our pants. <BR/><BR/>Be careful out there...<BR/>Thanks for inviting me to blog...good job Tina.<BR/>MareMary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072297220246215419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340953.post-1137787934675187352006-01-20T15:12:00.000-05:002006-01-20T15:12:00.000-05:00What do they say about lightning and winning the l...What do they say about lightning and winning the lottery?<BR/><BR/>as far as I can remember, no child was struck by lighting while under my watch, all 14 years of baseball on the fields.<BR/><BR/>Now.. the no rough housing paid off, with all the visitors we had around here, no one broke an arm or was injured to the point their parents calling to ask what happened. As a matter of fact, the parents were glad their kids were here.<BR/><BR/>And I think our kids appreciated it.<BR/><BR/>Once said, All you need to get into the house is a smile.<BR/><BR/>All other points made by the blogger are valid for Parents who really care for people, not just their own, but all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340953.post-1137709919658954332006-01-19T17:31:00.000-05:002006-01-19T17:31:00.000-05:00I always get the classic, "don't drink Windex unle...I always get the classic, "don't drink Windex unless it's the organic kind"Gorilla Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864975607655679172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340953.post-1137697912624393802006-01-19T14:11:00.000-05:002006-01-19T14:11:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you were paying attention, Michal....w...I'm so glad you were paying attention, Michal....watch out for those cops!MotherOf3Guyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173609516141081802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340953.post-1137627205132582782006-01-18T18:33:00.000-05:002006-01-18T18:33:00.000-05:00Compulsive doesn't begin to cover the safety issue...Compulsive doesn't begin to cover the safety issue though does it??
