Main point, make an effort to know someone anywhere you go....even if only there for a short time.  Get out there and meet SOMEONE!  My husband and I (and our two fur kids) have been temporarily staying in Tulsa, OK until our next job assignment in North Dakota.  Beyond a few people that work with my husband in the corporate office, we never really met anyone in town, much less our RV park......bad mistake.  LIFE LESSON LEARNED and this will never be us again after yesterdays occurrence.  I may be the friendliest person you have ever met in line paying for gas...and we'll leave exchanging numbers..haha.  Sooooo, yesterday my husband comes home from work and like usually, we debate if either of us are really hungry enough to make a big meal or make a quick sandwich.  We opt for our turkey dogs (hot dogs made from turkey) and proceed to relax watching Wheel of Fortune and playing/reading on our iPads.  I start to notice my husband being very restless and rubbing his arm and getting really red.  Then he starts holding the middle of his chest.  Not in agony just rubbing it like you would having indigestion.  After going through these episodes for a few minutes getting super worried, we decide going to the hospital is the best option.  Better be safe than sorry!  We hurry out the door leaving the fur kids behind, confused I'm sure.  We get to ER at around 7:30pm and finally after numerous test, they decide that they want to admit him at 2:00am and monitor him and do a stress test in the morning.  After the first couple hours in the ER, it pops in my head that my poor fur kids are at home alone and probably dancing around crossing their legs......and this is where it hit me.....of course my husband is my number one priority but my dogs are completely reliant on me and lets face it, they are like children to me!  I had no one I could call at that hour to run and check on them.  I didn't know a single soul around us and the only other person I really knew, didn't live anywhere near us (a good 40 minute drive if not more away)and we weren't  like BEST buddies that would do something like that at that time of night.  Finally, after getting hubby situated in his room, I left him (very reluctantly, but i had no choice) to run back and let dogs out and give them some attention....  I guess I should mention that the hospital, during normal hours, is at least 30 minutes from the RV park.... Anyway, I stay up with my fur kids until almost 4am and decide to get shut eye for an hour or two before heading back to hospital with stuff for hubby and of course because I was worried to death about him.  I left the fur kids at around 7:30 am thinking that we would be home by around noon (i know, i'm a dreamer)....well, 2:00 rolls around and still no dismissal or test results, so I am left to resort to the one person I know.  Luckily he knows my dogs and they are comfortable around him (we worked together on last work project and shared an office and I took my dogs to work with me almost every day) and everyone in the office is off at noon on Fridays, so he happily came and took them for a walk and watered them, etc.  Once we got home later in the afternoon, it was so nice to know that my fur kids were ok and taken care of....but it also hit me, that we got many places where we have NO ONE and i have never once thought about "what would happen" if stuff like this happens.  It hit like a ton of bricks to make sure that I at least get to know even one person in the area, because just as much as I may need them some day, they may need me as well and everyone should have that comfort I guess.  

I know, long post, and quite possibly babble to some (i am running off of little sleep) but a little food for thought for those that can read through the babble.  I love my full-time Rv life, but from now on, i'm doing to try and be a little better at it  

Have a WONDERFUL day all!!!!
