7/24/2011 5 Night Disney Dream cruise

[keishashadow]

It's definitely a break, I saw the xray. Didn't make it to see the ortho doc yet though. Not only did I break my elbow, I had a fever and was barfing all day....not fun at all when you are home alone. I finally got my stomach settled but still felt awful, DH came home and said, "OMG you are burning up" Took my temp and well, that pretty much explained the headache and the body chills. Took some motrin, ate some crackers and now I am feeling a lot better.

I'm just glad I didn't do this a few weeks from now, at least I have some time to heal.

oh no, so sorry for you! Maybe u can get a waterproof cast? those liners do not work the same no matter what they say. the fever is very worrisomehope they get it all sorted out and u can start to mend soon.

i thought i re-broke my ribs a week ago when riding coaster @ kennywood (thundrbolt) had hands in the air & slammed into the side (duh). It's still sore, but starting to feel better, just won't be able to swing a golf club @ Myrtle Beach next week unless things change.

Feeling a million times better today. No fever and my arm honestly doesn't hurt that bad. I'm going to beg and plead for no cast. Give me something removeable and I swear I will be good and keep it on 90% of the time. I just can't have a cast....can't type, text, take a freaking shower, and it makes feeding the horses pretty dang difficult.

I just got the name of the doctor I am supossed to call but they don't open until 8, so I'm going to call them soon and hopefully get an appoitment today. I freaking hate doctors....blah. With the way it feels today, I can't believe I would need surgery. But who knows....

Hi Lauri- we were having the same dicussion at our house last night too. Our DD14 wants to hang with our DS18 - just graduated from high school. Sounds like our kids should meet then the brothers can "ditch" the little sisters.DD is going to start High school in the fall and is in the band too. This is our 2nd cruise but DD did not spend anytime in the club last time because she is shy at first and did not know someone right away. Still had an awsome trip though PM me so the girls can meet.

Michelle glad you are feeling better and I hope everything works out at the doctors

Me too....grr. Couldn't get an appointment until tomorrow at 3:30...

Good news!!!! No cast, no surgery and elbow is healing great!! He said no worries about the cruise just told me to stay off the zip lines, Lol. I told him the only activity I had planned was drinking and relaxing by the pool!!

I do have to go to Physical Therapy so I don't lose range of motion, but I've been working at that already on my own!

It still hurts like heck, but compared to my previous breaks (shoulder and heel) this one is like a walk in the park.

I am so thrilled for you! That has got to be great news that you won't have to be in a cast or anything. Be careful before we leave!

So glad it's not broken. It's no fun traveling with that kind of injury!

Does practicing lifting a Konk Kooler count as a PT exercise?

MichelleVW, PLEASE let us know if you will need any help with this PT exercise! I think we will all make great coaches for you. But remember, we will have to demonstrate this exercise for you for proper technique and THEN you can join in! HEAL QUICKLY!

Nah, it is actually broke, but it's all lined up correctly and not bad enough to need surgery. If this happened 20 years ago the doc said I would have been in a cast for a month, but they have found that those people didn't get their range of motion back, so they aren't casting them as much anymore.

I'm ready for PT on the ship!!!

Michelle, Glad to hear things aren't as bad as you thought, and hope your all better for our trip.

Does everyone realize that when we go to sleep in one month, we wake up to go on the Dream?

And since it's so close now, does anyone want to arrange a meet the first day of the cruise? Or wear anything the first day that we can recognize each other to say hello? On our last cruise, everyone wore green mardi gras beads the first day, so we all recognized people from the DIS boards. It was nice to have people around the ship to say hello to.

YES! Definitely I like meeting new people As much as I'm excited about waking up for the Dream in a month, I'm sad that my WDW vacation and reunion with one of the guys in our wedding will be over

That would be cool! I like the bead idea!

WOW!!! 50 pounds means that you lost the weight of a child!!! CONGRATS!!!

 

[minniemouse86]

I can't believe that 1 month from today we will be on deck having a drink (or two)I can't wait I like the idea of beads too. It is always nice to meet the people who we have been "talking" to for the past few months or longer I hope everyone has a great weekend

 

[VKtravel]

One more day and we're in the 20's gang! I love weekends but I have never wanted a weekend to fly by so fast in all of my life! We're gedtting there!

 

[Cheryl726]

Can't believe 4 weeks from today will be our turn to board the ship! So excited!

 

[MichelleVW]

I am soo ready!!!! Went shopping yesterday and bought DH some new shorts and shirts for the cruise since he pretty much has zero summer clothes for some reason. Thankfully JC Penney's had plain t shirts for 5 bucks so he got some nice shorts and a few different colored shirts to wear with each of them.
