I'm on my way, but Greg isn't ): - need pixie dust

[parrotheadlois]

Right now, I'm flying to Orlando.
Greg has had a swollen foot for the past 4 or so days. I FINALLY got him to see a doctor...he has cellutitis and doctor's advice was Don't Go....
Don't go????? We're leaving in 3 hours!! He said I want you to go...After much weeping and gnashing of teeth I agree - we have a 2BR at BCV - my sister and her d/h are coming tonight, my daughter and my sil are coming Saturday. Greg has a doctor's appointment Saturday. IF he's improved, he'll try to come on Saturday. If there is no improvement, he has to go to the hospital for intravenous antibiotics....:eek:

we never travel alone - I'm already lonely

Hi Honey - you're not supposed to be reading this - keep that foot elevated...

more reports to follow.

[NC Belle]

:grouphug: Sending y'all lots of pd and get well wishes for Greg.

[DVCsince02]

:scared1: Noooooooooooooo!

I am so sorry to hear this. Lois, try to have a good time. Your family is awaiting your arrival. :hug:

Greg, listen to your wife and get some rest. Hope you are feeling better soon.:goodvibes

Keep us posted.

[catycatcat4]

That stinks hope it turns out ok

[Stacy's a freak]

Lois! I'm so sorry that Greg isn't able to join at the moment. I'm sure he is VERY sad too :( Just call him all of the time ... whenever you think of something that he would like ... or even when a fun song comes on the radio that he would want to hear ... call him. I know it's not better than being together, but it's something.

Greg, that sucks so much for you! But do what the doctor and Lois say so you get get down there on Saturday. In the meantime, relax, tend to your AC landscape ;) and get better!

Stacy :flower3:

[pixidustmom]

Oh that's so sad. My mom has it and her foot swells so bad. Too bad he couldn't go, but staying off of it will help some.

[lisah0711]

Cellulitis is the pits! I had it in June and had to cancel a Disneyland trip. I felt horrible for two weeks. I had a great time on my rescheduled trip in August -- walked 11 miles one day. Best wishes to your DH for a speedy recovery.

[froggy5657]

I hope it all works out!

[parrotheadlois]

Thanks for your good thoughts.

If he doesn't improve and can't come down, I'll go home Monday instead of Wednesday. My daughter is leaving Tuesday - that would've been our only night alone - I'm not spending the night all alone, I'll go home Monday.
I'm so sad :sad1:

[kab407]

Awwwwww Lois :hug: I hope all works out and Greg is able to join you later in the week.

Greg - Keep the foot up and get well soon!

[parrotheadlois]

I never thought I'd need hugs - I'm so glad you're all there when I need you....

[Hpyhiker]

Lois,

We're so sorry to hear of Greg's problem. Enjoy the time with your family then go home and nurse Greg.

Greg - you did the right thing by listening to your doctor. Take it easy and get well soon! :thumbsup2

Darrel and Jo

[wdwscout]

So sorry to hear this. :guilty:

Greg- keep that leg up and get well. I sure hope you get to join Lois- even if only for a few days.

Lois- enjoy the time with your family. I know you'll miss Greg, but WDW can be fun without your partner too! (just don't have TOO much fun ;))

Pixie Dust all around!! :wizard:

[daneenm]

So sorry for both of you, what a disappointment. Thinking good thoughts that Saturday will be much better.

[Tonya2426]

Sending you some pixie dust for a wonderful trip (and some random smilies I never get to use.) :confused3

:grouphug:

[pal-mickey]

Sorry to hear this Lois. I hope Greg feels better soon. Lois try to make the best of it. Hopefully he will join you soon.

[Becx N Gav]

Oh Lois :hug: I'm so sorry to hear about poor Greg. I do hope he is able to join you on Saturday. I'll be thinking of you both and sending out good thoughts and pixie dust that he can make it.
In the meantime make sure you rest Greg and best of luck for your appointment.
Keep us updated pixiedust:

[Gav N Becx]

I can imagine how tough this must be, hang in there Lois dear!
Hope your leg gets better Greg! Rest it well and maybe you'll be good to go tomorrow!
I remember you saying how much you were looking forward to staying in the BC, so I hope you can still enjoy the time you're there!
I hope for some luck to come your way after this unfortunate event!
Gav

[DisneyDaddy-O]

That's terrible!

Get well soon, hope everything works out well.

Try to enjoy your trip, I'm sure that is what he wants for you guys, hopefully he will be able to join soon.

Good luck

[aspen37]

I'm so sorry Lois. I hope Greg gets better and can join you. :grouphug:

[Marla Hellwig]

Oh Lois I am sorry to hear this

Greg, I am hoping you feel better soon

Marla

[katscradle]

Lois I can only imagine what you are going through at this moment.
My heart goes out to you.
Greg do as you are told, so that you can go to the happiest place on earth tomorrow, and be with your sweetheart.
Keep us posted.
I also think that was a very good idea from a PP to call
Greg everytime you hear a song or see something special.
It will make you trip special in a different way.
Chin up and lots of PD coming your way!

[*NikkiBell*]

Hiya Lois! The weather is great! Enjoy it!

[corky441]

Lois , So sorry to hear about all this. I just saw your post from yesterday.

I hope Greg is well enough to join you later on. What a total bummer...:guilty:

[Plutes]

So sorry to hear about Greg! I hope he's up and feeling MUCH better very soon! :grouphug:

[Yvet]

Lois, I'm so sorry to hear this.
Hopefully you have a nice trip and you can enjoy the trip a bit.

Greg, i know that you do everything as you have been told because you want to be there so badly....
I hope that the doctor gives a big Yes for your trip and that you can join the rest of the group....

[disneydreamgirl]

Hiya! Hope to hear that things have improved and you'll be reunited at the happiest place on earth!! Good Luck and Take Care!!

[DUHgreg]

At update from the sick kid at home:
First, I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and wishes. It was nice to read them when I got to the computer. Otherwise,
I'M BORED OUT OF MY MIND! My instructions have been to do nothing and keep my foot elevated (and take lots of antibiotics). My custom-made foot elevator (an ottoman, two cardboard boxes and two pillows) is serving me well.
7 a.m. tomorrow, the doctor will reexamine me and let me know if I should travel. If so, I'll try to catch the one air tran flight out of Allentown and join Lois at WDW. We'll see how it goes.

I do have to listen to a DJ we know on wnti-fm (streaming live at wnti.org). He promised to play Lois and me a song between 8 and 10 a.m. Hopefully, Lois will be listening too.

[DVCsince02]

Fingers and toes crossed for you Greg!

[parrotheadlois]

Hi Honey and Everyone!

I've got my computer up and running so I can listen to WNTI streaming tomorrow morning. I'm hoping for a really good doctor report tomorrow!

The weather has been perfect for visiting the parks.

We had an adventure this morning - we went to the Animal Kingdom and quickly went to Expedition Everest. The line was short so we fast-passed and got on the line, got on the ride, got half-way up the first incline! and stopped. The young man next to me was looking up the track and could see something coming, I'm thinking maybe the handrails and was saying, this isn't good - and then the announcement came that workers were going to come and we had to evacuate! Sure enough, we turned around and looked back down the tracks and 3 CMs were on their way up to get us. Row by row, starting at the front, they got us out, walked back down the tracks and around and back to the beginning. They did give us fast-passes good till Sunday. We went back later, and rode it twice! Love it (:

Also went to see It's Tough to be a Bug and - again- got to the doors, and due to something technical, were advised to turn around and leave (no fast passes there). We decided that perhaps it was an, mmmm - maybe biological fluid - uh - issue. We went back later and did that too, also did the Safari at ate at Tusker House - which was fabulous!!

Tonight we did the Hoop Dee Doo. Tomorrow Joanne (ds) and Joey (d b-i-l) will be going to the studios while I'll be waiting to hear from Greg.

I'll be back tomorrow,
:worship:

[kab407]

Hope the news is all good Greg! :hug:

A dull day in AK huh Lois? :lmao:

[DUHgreg]

I'm good to go:banana:
Still have to take it easy and elevate my foot as much as possible but I'm much improved. Frankly, I don't care if I sit on the balcony all day. It's 27 lonely degrees here. Things have got to be better at WDW.
Once again, thanks for the support everyone.

[TSWJan78]

Woo Hoo!!! Hope you have a great trip!!!

[parrotheadlois]

YAY!!!!!! off to reserve a chair!

[DVCsince02]

Wonderful news Greg!

[disneydreamgirl]

That is awesome news!!! Go have fun!!! :cool1:

[cdnmickeylover]

Great news! I've had cellulitis twice and ended up on IV antibiotics both times - the second time I was in the hospital for 6 days with it.

So my advice is do what the doctor told you and don't overdo it. Also keep taking the antibiotics.

I know how rotten it is.

Have a great time!!!

[parrotheadlois]

All of our guests are gone now, it's just Greg and me. Greg hasn't been out much, mostly resting and taking it easy. Yesterday morning we went to AK, did not have all the adventures of the first visit. rode Everest, the Safari and Tough to be a Bug without any problem. Back to the hotel. My son in law had to participate in a conference call, then they took a nap (I envy their ability to take naps). I went to the DVC pool, went in the hot tub. Sat around, walked over to the Beach Club quiet pool, went in the hot top, back to BCV - watched Dr. Phil (something I don't normally get to do). Basically had no one to play with and was kinda bored.

Eventually the family all came back to life and we had a scrumptious dinner at the Yachtsmen Steakhouse - and I had my fave - a "Glowtini"

We're planning on Jiko for dinner and if possible, I'd like to see the Osborne lights.

And weather-wise - it looks quite nice out. Hopefully we'll be lucky and the forcasted rain and thunderstorms from Ida will stay away for both today and our flight home tomorrow.

I'll be back!

Lois

wish we met Kathy like Nikki did (:

or Teresa - we're STILL here! Greg's wearing a boot - I think Bawb's was blue, Greg's is black.

My sister (a nurse) gave us the name of an infectious disease specialist - we'll work on that once we get home.

Be talkin to ya!

[wdwscout]

I'd much rather be bored at BCV than at home! Any day! :cool1:

Blue Glowtini- that my favorite drink too! Love the blue ice cube! Only 26 more days until I get to have one again!

Enjoy your time left! :)

[DVCsince02]

:wave: Lois!

[Becx N Gav]

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Glad you made it there Greg :thumbsup2

I hope you find something you are both able to do, but at least you are both there together :hug: Greg, let us know how you are getting on, I do hope it clears up quickly and you can both get back to normal :goodvibes

[Stacy's a freak]

So good to hear that Greg is there too! I think the rest of us at home are very jealous. Enjoy what time you have there :thumbsup2

[parrotheadlois]

:wave: Lois!
