I have to admit that the past few weeks have been rough on so many levels. Its really not been a feel sorry mode but more like what did I do in my last life kind of state. I mean seriously, so much was just brought on by me but COME ON, REALLY! I had an amazing time in Chicago because I was surrounded by SO many incredibly ladies. I know so many people REALLY do not understand why we subject ourselves to five complete strangers and call it fun, but we do and HEY, I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING. Although Disney is looking pretty good to me at this point.
After we left Chi town and drove to get out furry family, I decided that there was no better way to end a trip then to take off the back of our bumper by BACKING into a ditch!!! Yes, idiot...please check here. Then we get home and one calf is swollen and THANK GOODNESS I work for AHA that I was admitted to NNMC for a DVT. Then, apparently, I am allergic to contrast because hey I am also allergic to milk, Plavix and at times a few family members so its just gotten better.
I did attend our all staff for the American Heart Association which was amazing! First, I can jump rope in 5 inch heels with HEART CHASE and yet FALL just walking on my own two feet. How I just wanted to lay there and cry but I was SO horrified, I brushed off, prayed for coffee and a quick exit and now I am the proud owner of a bruised ego and a third degree burn from a LEAN CUISINE CHEESE POCKET on my chin. REALLY, YEAH...really and a broken wrist!
Out of all this, this is God purpose. We sat there through seminars and encouragement, bathroom breaks and me discovering that I will NEVER book a trip via a tour guide to meet the ultimate reason.
What people do not realize is what the American Heart Association does. I get asked ALL the time, where does the money go. I can pull up to the pie chart and it will tell you that 93 cents on every dollar goes to the cause. Yeah...what does that mean????
There is a young lady in Virginia that was not feeling well and collapsed at school. She was blue. The American Heart Association Doners had supplied AED's to the school and no one thought it may save a life.
The nurse used the AED and saved her life. She had an irregular heart beat and now has a pace maker.
At that point I got it. This is what I do, this is who I am, and this is the reason why.
