A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

Pluto bag is fantastic! Great job making it, DMG.

I agree - it is fantastic... But I can't take the credit for that one... I think Ruthie said she got it off of Ebay and it was only available to purchase at Disneyland Paris?

OK. I didn't think there would be an update until the weekend was OVER!
So Walmart!

Leave Maxine at home. Told you he should have thrown you into the cart and wheeled you around.. I did find pictures of WalMARTIANS.. SOOOOOOO not dis-appropriate...

Every time your losing patience just remember some smart comment someone said and you'll feel better. Count to 10 then dress up your poor animals.. IN PINK..
just in case you even had a thought. It was AWESOME to hear your voice!!! i was so upset my phone service is the way it is! I need to call Verizon and yell at them unless ya know i DROP the call!
Does a heating pad help you at all??? yep i am giving advice. TAKE IT!

So glad you were able to do our FUN DISNEY stuff!!! LOVE tusker house. but i am afraid of any of the food there unless it's breakfast.
I LOVE the Pluto bag!!!! you give me ideas in what to ask D~ for!!! He is really adorable looks big enough to carry a small child in there! I know for sure it was HOT on your back! Oh wait you rode in S-T-Y-L-E on your wheelie Chair:
YOU GO GIRL! bet all of you didn't know this is what RuthIE has been doing in her spare time.. Not her PT..
as for your comment on Googling any person place or thing... you really want me to?!?!
your pictures are ADORABLE! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! i do mean this.
I especially love the tee shirts and how they point at the character's!!!
Did you place poor Pluto with Fred or did he really fall asleep with him? cuz it is really the cutest picture! even the puppy looks all comfy with a blanket!!!
I know i am missing a ton of stuff here but i will be reminded. and re-reading the report...

Love the Pluto bag - it reminded me that I have a Tigger backpack I should take on my next trip. Got him in Animal Kingdom years ago! Glad you had a good time and nice to see that you did get the wheelchair. Sometimes we just need to do what we need to do.

I'm so glad you had such a good end of the weekend!
I hope today went good as well.

I'm out getting oil changed before a few day trip to a lake town (Trasverse City) about 5 hours away. Forecast is cold and rain! I'm expecting warm and sunny! We will see who is right?

Oooh!

 

[Luvchefmic]

Pretty sad when I don't know where I left off in my own report Seems like time is getting away from me since we said Goodbye Monday morning and got back on the crazy fast lane of our life and here it is Wed morning already


I am planning to keep it going though as there are many good times ahead

Fred is putting in the request to be home mid July Dis friends/family coming to WDW both in Aug and Oct and Fred is also putting in the request (at this point more like a demand) that he be home for part of the Oct Dis family/friend meet Very much looking forward to MNSSHP Oct 6 th as I LOVE this party and he has never attended

If you hang in here with me and have patience there will be more updating and future planning

Tomorrow I see the ortho/specialist for the leg This is the biggest concern right now re-pain on standing for about 10 minutes and limp/shooting pains after a few minutes of walking PT therapist feels (like I do) muscles are still weak, bruised, swollen, we'll see what Dr recommends The shoulder has healed nicely (thank God) only minimal discomfort; usually screaming pain when rains or temps drop Strength for lifting is still restricted, and certain movements I just can't do (reaching behind back) but that will take time no worries there

Have a blessed day everyone If anyone is in the OK area or knows someone there please know prayers and thoughts are sent to you

I'm looking forward to meeting Fred in October. Hope you pass on that message that I'm counting on him being there....not just for MNSSHP but for the cook-out on the 5th as well.


Good luck with the specialist. Hope that you get your leg sorted out. Are you still on light duties?

 

[disneychic2]

That's so awesome that Fred is already planning his days off and you both are so looking forward to spending time together! I just did a little happy dance for you! Nice visual,huh?

I hope they have some answers for you for your leg pain. It could have caused the bursa in your hip to become inflamed which would cause that kind of pain. You are so right, though, time is what you need. Glad the shoulder is doing better. I wish Mickey could sprinkle pixie dust on it and make you all better. Right. Now! Hang in there, sweetie. It will happen. You are so brave!

Have a wonderful day, and thanks for keeping us posted.

 

[Chicago Mo]

I will check in with you later make sure your OK...
warm thoughts! Feel better!!
That's great news!!!! Fred is a Disney nut too??? Never been to the MNSSHP.. Plan on that for next year!
are you guys going to dress up???

 

[DMGeurts]

Glad Super Fred is planning to take some time off with you for the big dismeet in Oct - that will be good for both of you.

I sure hope that everything goes well today. I hope you get the answers you need and the healing continues... I know it must feel like it is going so slow, but you have come so far. (((Hugs)))

glad your shoulder is doing somuch better. Prayers for sthat to continue to progress. And of course more prayers for the leg. Prayers the ortho is touched by Gods wisdom & sends you in the correct directions for quick healing. Sos sorry youstill feel such horrific pain.
Happy you have another renedevous planned with Fred. Has he met dis famiy/friend before?
We havent done MNSSHP in a very long time. We may have to consider that time of year for our next future trip.

And I want to reiterate your comments on the OK tornado victims & loved ones. Prayer from my home for all of you.

I got like 7 pages behind due to a busy weekend and then two days of boring classes for work. I hate when work interfers with my DIS time! The thread kept me entertained and distracted from work for the last hour or so.

Despite some setbacks it sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I hope things go well at the doctor tomorrow.

Oh and I need that Pluto bag for my Pluto room!!!! Off to Ebay now to see if I can find it.

 

[Luvchefmic]

Safe for Fred. When will he be home again?

The pictures are wonderful. Love the matching shirts!! So happy you enjoyed yourselves. you both look so happy & content together.
Rest yourself. Hope tomorrow is a good day. I'm sorry your time together was so short. But, the fact it went quickly indicates you enjoyed the time. Atleast mostly.

I'm particularly glad they had a wheelchair for you after all. I always debate taking mine from home, or renting one when I get there, but in the end I figure I need it at the airport anyway, plus I am used to my own. Our only issue bringing it is the storage with everyone in the car, the luggage & the chair. Not sure how it will work out this upcoming trip. Maybe I should get on thinking about that more.


Look forward to your update after Fred leaves. Enjoy your time together.

Oh...almost forgot.... LOVE your Pluto bag. Was it hot to wearing it?

Hi Dee, Fred should be home again mid July and then again in Oct which is a MUST ! After the past 6 months we had and how we are together now no way will that ever happen again Pluto was mostly on my lap but when he was on my back no not hot at all I loved those shirts too, very colorful and I thought nicer than ones similiar sold at WDW I got them at a typical "Open your wallet tourist" shop right outside DTD, BIG sign on building says Disney Tees 5 for $9.99 Yeah Sure ! think they were $12. each STILL a bargain As far as your wheelchair, if there is any way you can bring it I would

Safe travels for Fred. Sleep well, Ruthie.

Thanks for that he is somewhere heading toward Nebraska area now We were glad for many reasons he did get a truck for home time one reason was when he left he did a few local runs and then picked up in Orlando headed to GA we didn't lose much money this home time at all

Great pics, Ruthie!! Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad you had a good time. You look so happy and that makes me happy. Here's hoping the next 90 days fly by so Fred can be back by your side. That Pluto bag was definitely made for you. Great score!

Hey Lois so glad you're back I missed you and want to hear all about your adventures...ups & downs....NO not waiting 90 days for home time any more if at all possible

Great pics Ruthie. Looks like you had a fabulous time. Hope that Fred enjoys the home time with you.

Pluto bag is fantastic! Great job making it, DMG.

We did have a fabulous time we had more laughs than scowls and that was terrific ! Yep D' didn't make this one but you should see her work fabulous I LOVE this though

 

[DMGeurts]

Hey lady!!! Great to see you... I was thinking about you today - I was going to text you, but then I got busy with making dinner....

Hope you've had a good couple of days.

[Luvchefmic]

Ruthie,
So glad you two made it there. I'm glad you had a great time. You got the Pluto bag! Yay for that!

I hope he comes home again soon!

We were glad we made it there too! It didn't look like it was going to happen for awhile there YAY for PLUTO !! For everyone else here Alison and her partner Fran live in CA and go to DLR a LOT so one Sat I knew she was going and I sent her a frantic message asking her to find Pluto for me not realizing at the time that the eBay seller lived in CA but the bag was only in Paris DL and that was where he would be coming from Hope I didn't drive you nuts that day Alison & much appreciate you looking I tend to be a little Pluto obsessed ....just a little
