Tuesday

Currently sitting in my car waiting for Ethan’s 4:15 tennis match to start:

I ducked out of work early to get here. Tennis matches are tough! They always start at 4:15 and seems so many are “away” (and FAR away).

This one is a “home” match but the courts are still almost 30 minutes away from my home.

Asher missed like his 3rd day of school in the last week to play a golf match. I am SO CONFUSED by this sport. Why are all the matches during the school day?!? This is his first season playing.

I am really not a fan of this aspect at all, especially considering that we recently pulled him from an entire week of school for spring break! But he says “it’s fine”. 🙄 Of course he does.

(Does anyone else have a high school golfer? Is this just a thing? I mean I get that it takes a long time to play a full round of golf. But couldn’t they do like, an abbreviated course for high school or something, after school? I suppose that would be very uncool for real golfers. 😅 Shouldn’t actual SCHOOL be the priority during high SCHOOL golf season, though??)

In other news, I had some excitement at the gym this morning.

As I was wrapping up my workout, doing some cable face pulls at the cable machine, I suddenly heard a woman behind me say, “ma’am!” I turned around and she was all twisted over with her shoulder hunched up oddly. She said, I don’t mean to freak you out, but I just dislocated my shoulder! Can you go get someone?!

I said of course and ran just around the corner to tell the guy at the desk to call for help. In the 15 seconds I was gone, apparently she managed to unstick her shoulder.

She was extremely shaken and in tears. It was crazy! I’d never seen that happen before. I made sure she was okay and then the gym facility supervisor showed up so I stepped away.

As I was leaving, she waved and thanked me for my help and apologized if she “freaked me out”. I was like, oh I’m a nurse, it didn’t freak me out at all! 🙂 Happy to help!

(But “transplant nurse” does not equal “comfortable popping someone’s dislocated shoulder back into place”!! 😆)

Anyway, that was my excitement for the morning. I’m glad she was okay.

Okay, off to watch some tennis. Wish it weren’t only like 54 degrees out today.

Daily Gratitude:

I am grateful for that lady being okay and not seriously injured. She seemed sweet. I didn’t catch what exercise or what she was doing when it happened!
