Travel Rewind : Punta Cana Day 5 The Best of a Bad Situation ...

Hola,

God doesn't promise  you he won't avoid problems, but bring you out of them . 

What started off as a great beach day ... Turned into a nightmare by  the evening . 

As I write this a day late , I'm in a wheelchair and a brace still in Punta Cana praying for a safe return home tomorrow after falling in the buffet . 

The rain was torrential last such that it cancelled the 8:15 performance of the Michael Jackson show . We had dinner reservations for 9:30 and decided to skip them to see the show. The buffet was open til 10pm to which we got there right before they closed . 

The lobby and theatre are outside open air and the wind and rain were coming down bad . My feet were wet and subsequently slipped on the hard marble floor . I screamed and don't remember much else other that hearing something pop . 

Layed out in the floor and crying heavily all I wanted to do was get home . I was asking the  bestie did she see any bone , as I knew I wouldn't be able to go home tomorrow and might  need surgery there.. Which I was NOT trying to do . 

Transported to the hospital and lots of money later... An  X-ray  ( yes just one and no MRI) was done and I was  told my patella tendon ruptured . I was told I needed surgery and panicked . 

I was not staying here for surgery .  My flight is tomorrow and I am blessed I did not break it  (kneecap) and I have wonderful friends with me . 

I didn't ask God why just cried that I keep having things happen to me lately . Not sure what the sign is ... I want to go home today but generally there are 2 flights out and I don't want to be on standby at the open air airport . 

Never cease praying . I remembered I had my rosary beads blessed last year the ones from Rome and I am now wearing them . Nevermind I'm not catholic . 

God always brings a sense of peace .
