Another Fun Tale

… but first, have to put the freshly washed laundry in the dryer! I am getting something done besides blogging this morning😂😂😂.

The six of us who stayed for R&R in Siem Reap for a couple of days all flew back to Phnom Penh on a small, regional airplane. Cindy , one of my beloved team members, somehow tweaked her knee crawling over the much-too-narrow row to claim her seat by the window. I was right behind her, and I heard her yelp of pain as she fell onto the middle seat. She managed to scootch over to the window, but it was evident that she was in a lot of pain. We all assisted her off when the plane finally landed at PHN (airport, Phnom Penh). After collecting our bags to recheck on our international flight, we made our way to the information booth and requested medical attention. All we really needed was an Ace bandage wrap to secure her knee for the rest of the time getting home. Imagine the medics surprise when they showed up with their ‘tool kits’ of medical supplies! We explained gently that we were our own medical team, but we just needed a knee wrap😂😂😂😂. Or tape😂😂. We even still had Dr. Scott (orthopedic surgeon) with us! Like I said on an Instagram post…traveling with nurses and doctors is a walking pharmacy and clinic all in one😂😂😂😂! So the two medics cautiously stood back and let Dr. Scott explain what he needed to do. They didn’t have tape, nor did they have any Ace wraps, but they did get a bag of ice and we filled a Ziploc baggie and two latex gloves to secure to Cindy’s knee until we got through security.

Much to our surprise, one of the airport gift shops actually had a knee brace that we picked up, nestled over Cindy’s injured knee, and snagged a wheelchair to keep her off of the injured leg.

Needless to say, she received VIP status at PHN on that night!😂😂

Good thing no squatty potties here!😱
