Thank him for serving. :) :) I wonder if he ever encountered anyone who was as bone headed as me...if I were in the army I probably wouldn't have been injured in the call of duty, but it would have involved spilling a hot drink on myself, being bitten by the world's rarest bug, or tripping and falling on my face coming out of the bathroom and needing 100 stitches. But then that doesn't require airlifting...though the rare poisonous bug might... Corrin…Please thank your husband for me! Thank him for serving. :) :)

I fell off of a motorcycle that wasn't moving. It was going zero miles per hour. I was getting up and then I walked a few steps, hit a car, and hit my head. I had a helmut on, but had started to take it off, so the partially removed helmut meant that I didn't crack my head, but the helmut fell to the ground separately from myself as I had dropped it. So I ended up under the car sans helmut, which led someone who was sitting in a nearby restaurant to believe that the car had hit the bike and I ended up underneath, but it was exactly two totally separate incidents involving parked vehicles and the only thing with any speed or velocity was my own sorry self. Nice, huh? I didn't say the motorcycle part at first in case my mom read it because that is the part I left out to her! I was surprised I didn't end up on the news with those moves. I didn't end up with any head injury but my knee was sure the size of a canonball for a few days. That really bites. Or I should say that bit/had bitten. By the way, the ambulance lady tried to see my knee but we couldn't get my jeans hiked up over it, and I couldn't pull my pants down in the ambulance over it because it was just that swollen. She said I had nice jeans and didn't want to cut them. I wasn't hurt bad or anything but you never know when wearing relaxed jeans versus wearing the stuff I wore could save someone's life someday.

Private or not, there's no in flight meals or movies. Haha. My husband is a paramedic and a medic in the army, and he can tell you what an air ambulance flight is really like.

Did you black out and fall? Glad you were ok. Did you just slip and fall? Did you black out and fall? Glad you were ok.
