Paging Nurse Kim

I've commented a couple times to Aunt Jeri that with all of her and Uncle Dave's mishaps that they should have Kim traveling with them at all times since she's a nurse. Well, I'm taking that all back and claiming Nurse Kim for the Tomlinsons. Last night Barb pulled her hamstring playing tennis and is now laid up for the next 2-4 weeks. I was out last night at a mom's night out for scrapbooking and when I got home, I was shocked to see Barb laying on the couch in the play room. I knew things weren't good, so I went in and asked Shawn what happened and he told me the story. Once I knew Barb was awake, I went in and talked with her to find out more of the details. She injured her leg so bad that she was on the ground crying in pain. A tennis partner had to drive her home. Then Shawn and Ed had to help her in to the house. Unfortunately, she was in so much pain that she ended up fainting for a few seconds. I was so scared when I heard this part of the story. That's a LOT of pain to be in to faint. One funny part to the whole story though is when she's telling me what all happened, she says to me, "And we lost the match by default." Wow! Now I totally know where Shawn gets his competitive nature. Barb ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs and went to the doctor today. She's walking on crutches and icing her leg every few hours. I might steal some of her hydrocodone when she's not looking for the next restless night of sleep because of my injured back. J/K. (I'm not kidding, but I'll just say that so my parents don't think I'm hooked on prescription meds now. Ha ha.) This morning Barb then said something that totally made me laugh. She was sitting in the recliner telling me about her night's sleep and says to me, "Great. Just what I wanted to do. Stay on the couch all day." As if I haven't said that a few times these past few weeks and gotten yelled at for saying such things. Man, this house is full of impatient, stubborn people. Kim, you better move to Colorado soon. The Tomlinsons will keep you on payroll since we seem to need a private nurse to tend to our injuries.
