We headed out Saturday morning and got into camp around 11:30. Got the tent set up and headed out to the lake. What beauty!
We got out to the lake, set up chairs, tied up the dogs and got into the water. Helped set up some of the floating toys and just had a great time. Then Ben decided he wanted to go on one of the jet skis. He got up on it and started to head up. While watching for boats and people, the jet ski tipped! While he was trying to pull himself back into the jet ski, he dislocated his shoulder! I realized this when he started his "I'm hurt" scream. I called for my boss to come out and help me get Ben off the jet ski. We got him off and man was he in pain! We called up for my other boss, who is a nurse, but she was unable to help. So, we found the park ranger and found out we had to go to the hospital- 40 miles away! So, we got going! Unfortunately, when you have a dislocated shoulder you notice every single turn and bump in the road. Well, we were pretty far out in the woods and there were a lot of turns and bumps on the way in! We finally got to the ER and I had to drop Ben off while I went to park the car. To make the story short, he was admitted and sedated. He was eventually knocked completely out to get that shoulder back in!We got out of the ER around 6, just in time for dinner. After 4 hours ad a lot of stress, Ben's shoulder was put into place and meds were picked up. We were set for the weekend.. of so you'd think. When we got into the car, we found out Eddie had gotten to Ben's glasses! (He had taken them off while they were drugging him up, and I put them in the car so I wouldn't lose them...ha!) No, Ben didn't pack his contacts. When we got back to camp, he added a little duct tape and called it good. What chaos! (Appointments for orthopedic surgeon and eye doctor were made as soon as we got back.)
Day two went a lot better. Another day out on the lake!
Ben sat out on the sidelines with the shoulder immobilizer on. It was fun just hanging out with everyone, and finally getting a chance to get to know my bosses and really who they are! It was awesome!
After lake time, we headed up to the campsite to have some more yummy food (I didn't have to cook at all!) and just calm down after a busy day.
It was nice to just relax, play a couple rounds of UNO and just talk. I loved having this weekend with Ben. It was nice not having errands to run or laundry to do. Just sit and relax the entire time. There were about 15 people in the group and we just would sit by the fire at night and just talk and talk. Last night (our final night), everyone got together and played a few rounds of Poker and BlackJack.
Ben and I were worn out from not sleeping well the night before, so we called it a night and went to the tent. We got up early the next morning, packed up and got ready to head back to reality. Had ourselves some amazing breakfast casserole and then headed up. Dogs have been bathed, car is slowly unpacking (too danged hot to do too much for now), Ben is off to work, doctor appointments are made.. overall a good weekend. I can't wait to do this all again!!
