Trip to the ER

So a few weeks back the Caughran family went to Gary Texas (Near Carthage Tx . . . still don't know where that is? an hour northeast of Nacogdoches . . . still? 3-4 hours northeast of Houston on 59 . . . just google it)

Anyways we were going up there for Lisa's nephew's birthday party. I was looking forward to the trip, but my 70.3 Ironman is coming up and I had a scheduled 2 hour run, 3 hour ride, and 30 minute swim to do. I decided to have us go up the night before the party and bring my training gear so I could do my training Saturday morning before the party.

The weekend of the party arrived and we finally got to our hotel in Carthage. I took my bike off the back of the car and took it inside. I later ran out to the car to get something and when I closed the back hatch the rack hit me in the head. A guy was walking by and I was embarrassed. The next morning at 6am I am up and ready to go run. Unfortunately it is now cold and raining. I asked the clerk which way to go run and she instead told me where not to go because it was a bad neighborhood. I took off and came back soaked and tired 2 hours later.

We got everyone packed up and ready to go to Lisa's sister's. I then went for a 2 hour ride by their house before Lisa got me to tell me we needed to get ready for the party.

Fast forward a few hours and we are at the party and Mimi is taking Colin to the potty. She asked Lisa to get a new pair of undies since he had a slight accident. She heads to the car and the next thing I know Lisa's sister is coming in telling us that something is wrong with Lisa. We all run out to see what was wrong. She is out cold on the ground and twitching (like a seizure) we get her up and she comes to. She doesn't remember what happened, but because of my experience the night before, I figured she had knocked herself out when she slammed the back hatch and brought the bike rack down on her head. (Her niece later confirmed this).

Once Lisa was stable and fine, I was doing some phone internet research and decided we should go to the ER.

Conversation with Lisa after the ER:

Lisa "My cat's okay.I took your advice.They scanned my cat, I can play !"
Me" They scanned your cat... ? You got a CAT scan."

Well it didn't really go like that although it did in Varsity Blues. Regardless they found that there was no new damage.
