2 More Sleeps...Saturday Soon Come :)
Can't believe it is almost here. After our 5th trip to Negril last November, I went immediately into serious Negril Withdrawal (not pretty), so the only remedy was to book another trip. So I have been waiting on this visit for a long time.
Didn't think we were going to see the day. Our trip back to my hometown in So. Cal was cancelled because I was feeling pretty darn frisky one night and broke my hubby. Actually I tweaked his back. It was embarrassing telling the doctor how he got into that kinda pain ;)
He got a facet injection and was feeling good. Then that darn Hurricane Irene visited and blew 50 foot pines into my pool. My hubby knows that nothing messes with my pool, so like the loving hubby he is, he got the trees out of the pool and helped out the 80+ year old neighbor with his tree. Well, after that he couldn't move. Literally couldn't move. He kept up the brave manly-man face at each doctor visit. Finally I had to speak up to get him an MRI which showed he completely blew out his disc and it was lodged in his spine. After the results they sent him to the top spinal surgeon. Again, the brave manly-man bravado almost cost him dearly. He wouldn't cop to how bad things were. So with my big mouth, and lack of diplomacy. I told the doctor that his "you know what's" were numb (yepper....numb nuts). Well he went in that day for emergency spinal surgery. That was 8 weeks ago. Thank heavens he is healing beautifully. Thanks to me speaking up, he did not suffer permanent damage.
I however, am going to have to be the luggage mule. So instead of one heavy luggage for the 2 week trip, I have 3 that I can lift. Oh well...we are going to Negril.
Then my 96-year old Mother-in-Law's health declined rapidly last week. We would so stressed that we would leave and not be able to relax, waiting for the phone call. Yesterday we laid her to rest.
If all of that weren't enough. On April17, 2010 we came back to Negril. Landed that morning and that night we got a phone call that our 30 yr. old son-in-law died unexpectedly, with our daughter 6 weeks from giving birth to their first child. We caught the next flight back. She moved back home to be with her family and gave birth to our beautiful granddaughter. Needless to say, our house has been chaotic since then.
So we are hoping to get to Negril, take a deep breath and exhale and just chill for the next 2 weeks.
Hoping to run into some boardies while we are there.
Will definitely write a trip report and include lots of pictures :)
Saturday soon come!!!!!!!!!
