Disaster First Day of Vacation

Yesterday began our adventure on Oahu. We rented scooters for the week because Mats sister doesn't have a car to get around. We had to drive the scooter from Waikiki to Waipahu which is 17 miles. That's pretty far drive on scooters at only go 45 max and cannot go on the H1, H2, or H3. 

It took me a bit to get used the scooter. I'm a nervous person by nature so I was shaking the first like 5 miles but after that I kind of liked driving it.

Then when we were about 10 minutes from the apartment disaster struck. Mat over corrected his scooter and flipped it. I screamed his name (which I don't remember doing) and basically jumped off of my scooter. As soon as he got up he said, "I broke my ankle!".

Both Mat and I had our first ride in an ambulance yesterday. Not what I was expecting on our first day in Oahu. Now we thought he was just going to have to get a cast with crutches, but no he had to get surgery to put a rod in his leg. Holy shit, a rod in his leg! 

The surgery went great and now we just have to wait to hear from PT about how much weight he can put on it. That will dictate if he needs a wheelchair, crutches, or my personal favorite, a walker. 

Thank God for him only hurting his leg, having a great hospital, and great doctors. 

He biggest silver lining is that he doesn't want a motorcycle anymore. Right now we are just watching tv in his room waiting for his pain meds to kick in. Here's to hoping he can leave tomorrow. 

Peace out cub scouts. 

Been a while...

It has been a while since I last posted on here. I haven't had time to do any DIYs due being crazy busy at work then coming home and wanting to relax. 

I am most excited for next Friday. I am going to Hawaii!!! Ahh!! I'm so excited it will be my first flying vacation!! I have only flown one other time for a business trip at the beginning of the month. That was only an hour long so it kind of felt like a roll at coaster ride. This time it is 6 hour flight to Las Vegas then another 6 hour flight to Honolulu. 

We are leaving at like 8 pm so I'm definitely going to try to sleep on the plane. 

I definitely want to vlog/blog the trip. I haven't really done that before, but I thing it will be fun! I do have a YouTube channel that I've never posted on so I might possibly put up a video every day of vacation if I remember. 

Well hopefully I will post on here while I'm gone and write about my adventure. 

Peace out cub scouts ✌
