5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 13

[justmestace]

Stacey, Sorry to hear your treatment isn't as easy as you had hoped.

We're still in CA. Moved from DL to the Hotel del Coronado.

This place isn't Disney...

In our first hour, we found out parking is $20 a day PLUS there is a $24 "resort fee," we had to call security to open our connecting rooms (they wouldn't open without a key), we found black kinky hairs in the bathroom, there was trash in the corner of the room, and we had to call maintenance to fix the toilet (it wouldn't stop running).

Luckily DVC is picking up the base price of the room! Otherwise we'd be staying at the Comfort Inn!

(btw, you know what the hotel del looks like? Like the grand floridian? yeah, except our room is in the 1970's looking addition. Not even connected to the main building.) Ah well, beats being in Ohio!

Sorry you're in the "newer" section...never have stayed in that part. Did you find the hallway, downstairs (main building) leading out toward the pool, that has pictures of all the old stars and famous people who've stayed there?
Once, when I was about 16 or 17, some friends and I found our way all the way to the top cupola. That would give Nick and KT something to do!!

Meanwhile, everyone stay well, get better or have fun, (as may be appropriate).

Good Luck to all who are in races and safe travels for all who are in the air, on the road or on the water....

Best wishes for good health to all DisFriends and families.

See ya back on Monday.

Garry, would that be the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique (what fun), or the place where they sell the Roxy swimsuits? We didn't see her in August, will look again in a few weeks. Is she enjoying the program?

Stacey, sorry to hear you are not walking yet. As long as you can get on that cruise ship in December, all is well, right? And with the half the pain of before!

Alicia's play opened last night, and closes tonight. She did so well! Got lots of laughs, girl owns the stage. I did lots of treading of the boards at her age, but I don't remember being quite so confident.

What a disappointment, to book at the Del and get put out in the boonies. Not even in the haunted part! Well now we know not to waste the points.

Don't you just hate it when life get's in the way of DISing.

Actually, I'm just sick of the computer by the time I get home that the last thing I want to do is spend more time on it. Sorry.

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted until I got an email from a friend in South FL.

So I thought I would at least give one post before Lisa and I head off to Chicago. This is marathon weekend. I wish we could have more time, but oh well. We have Friday and Saturday to play so we will make the best of it.

I just wish Mary and Mark would cool it down. It's not fun running a marathon is record heat. I did that in West Palm and still hold Irene personally responsible.

 

[justmestace]

Nice to "see" you, Sir James!


Diana.....I would have given my left leg to have seen Alicia's play. Okay, sorry, that joke is old. Truly, I really wish I could have seen it, I bet she was fantastic!!


Recovery has hit a small bump in the road. The larger incision, the one at the heel area, has now completely opened up. It looks like the Grand Canyon. Finally got through to the doctor's office and they want Megan to try to apply new steri-strips today, and then bring me in tomorrow.
Will see what the doc has to say about it then.

Diana - it is the princess makeover boutique. She loves it. She works primarily there or in watches and jewlery, both at World of Disney. She is having a lot of fun.
I didn't realize you were at WDW in Aug, we were there visiting Vanessa the 8-15th

Glad that Alicia's show went well. Post pics if you have any.

Stacey sorry your not healing well - please make the Dr take good care of you. He needs to realize you have things to do, places to go and DIS friends to talk to.....

 

[justmestace]

GO D-BACKS!!!!








Sorry, Monica!

 

[mickeymo]

Hey stacey - (Where's that tongue sticking out smilie)

GO CUBS!!!

Why does the National League games have to be on TBS??? We thought about installing cable for the playoffs but decided against it. I'm so pathetic, I have three screens running on the lap top. The text updates on MLB.com, DIS boards, and an episode of Boston Legal...

Just back from Lacrosse practice with Maggie - the mosquitoes were out in full force...yuck! I felt like a pin cushion...

 

[WVMD]

Stacey,

Please let us know how you are doing! Hope things go well....

When they first opened the BBB, Alicia and I were looking in, talking about what a fun place to work that would be! We actually kind of went at the end of July, had to be home for a wedding on Aug. 4. So we missed you.

So...the foot is freshly bandaged, new steri-strips, strict orders to keep it elevated MORE than it had been.....Jay has ideas for that.. ....and all should be fine if we can keep the swelling to a minimum. I have to face the fact that this scar will be wide and ugly....but at least the one that is more visible (the one on my calf) is still very thin and nicely closed and in a year or two won't even be noticeable.
Apparently, if it hadn't gotten so swollen, it wouldn't have had all that excess fluid looking for an escape route, and wouldn't have opened up like it did.
But thanks to one of my very good doctor friends, I already knew all that.
The good news is that it isn't infected and the idea is to keep it that way.

Hey Stacey - Glad to hear it is getting better!! Keep watching it we will send PD your way that it continues to heal without problems!!!!

Thank you.....and also I should have said "Thanks to one of my very good nurse friends" too!!! It's hard for me to use any common sense when I'M the patient!!

Unexpected Bonus!!! It rained all night and up until 7:00 this a.m. so, Maggie's 9:30 am lacrosse practice was canceled. Go figure, it's bright and sunny from 8:00am on...

It's the airshow at Ellington Field behind our house. Lots of noise, planes and traffic today...what fun! Canadian Snowbirds are the headliner act this year...

Mike slept over at a friend's house and they are on site at the air show. 1st time for Mike, we usually watch from the house, parallel to the runway - we have a great view and no porta potties...

John's moving lights around in the sanctuary at church, and Maggie and I had a pajama morning watching American in Paris...

All the tile is finally finished. John finished up the closet and the laundry room - no washing this weekend! the "only" thing left to finish the painting and the baseboards...

 

[justmestace]

Sounds like one of those rare, lazy, wonderful mornings, Monica!!

Don't forget to post more pics when you're done.


I'm being lazy this morning. I got up when Jay did and had my coffee and am getting ready to place a call to both my surgeon and my primary care doctors...in hopes that one of them will call me back on a Saturday. The more I thought about it last night, the more I realized that a lot of people who've had this type of surgery can't just lay on their back with their foot in the air for 5 weeks. There HAS to be some kind of pill that I can take to get rid of this swelling. Call me impatient...or a bad patient....whatever.....but I refuse to take this laying down.



Sense of humor STILL intact.

This is what happens when a woman is left with far too much time on her hands and is having MALL withdrawals.....
I saw this, and for some reason felt I'd need a reminder of my time spent in my lovely purple cast. So I ordered it.

That is beautiful!!! For all you have been through you've earned it!!!!!

It says it's real amethyst...but it was only $39.99...so there's room for doubt. But that's okay, I like it.
