Are Moo Moo's And Boo Boo's Doomed?...Part 5

Sorry - I missed this update!

I hope insurance covers it so then you can decide if this will work for you!! :goodvibes

When are you going to Alaska? I knew all along I wasn't going w/DCL. Just too much $ for the ports they charge, IMO. :)

We are going August 11th. :cool1:

I was first looking at other cruise lines because my sister wanted a ship with a casino. But when she wouldn't commit, I just used one of my dummy bookings and caught the opening day prices. That plus my TA's OBC help offset it too.

I was looking at the kid's clubs on the other lines too (plus the ones that have better rooms for 4) and DCL just works better for us. But yes, the price is scary :scared1: :rotfl:

Oh we are going Aug 1!! We will probably stay til around the 11th! haha! We are doing Celebrity Milennium northern (Vancouver to Seward). Did you book a balcony? They were running a great promo and a concierge balcony was only $75 more than a regular balcony so we quoted that... then asked about spa class! So now we have a spa balcony!! It was only a little bit more. We also get a free drink package (there are other options if you don't want this) and $100 shipboard credit my TA found on a facebook promo. And TA credit plus it is a gathering so parties and stuff.

We actually haven't made deposit yet but I told my TA to do it right before the hold expired (30 day hold because she got group rates! That helped a lot!!)

It is about the same price we paid for the Hawaiian (we had a balcony but only upgraded at the last minute. Originally we were paying like $1600+ for an oceanview and were able to upgrade to balcony for $1750 at the last minute due to them trying to sell rooms!). But, a way nicer ship and more amenities! Not sure how much $ we will have for excursions - will decide that later. It may end with us dropping our DCL (well pushing it back) though...
 

Ohhhh, now we can talk Alaska planning together :thumbsup2
We are on DCL though.

OK Boo Boos....I'm here looking for sympathy :lmao: (just kidding).

I woke up Wednesday morning with pain in my shoulder again. I hoped it would go away but it has stuck around ever since (sometimes shoulder, sometimes mid-back, sometimes down my arm....same as before). So pretty much I got no relief from the first epidural and about 2 weeks for the second :sad:

I already had a follow-up with the orthopedic surgeon for Friday afternoon so it was good timing. We had a good long chat about things. My strength is still good but she doesn't like hearing that I'm missing out on doing things I want to do (we were talking about Disney and I told her that I have hated missing riding my favorite rides with my kids, etc).

So she thinks we should consider the surgery. There is no hurry or anything, but basically if I don't do it, nothing will ever change. Pain will come and go and I won't know what activities will start it hurting again.

I asked what the restrictions would be if I did the surgery and she said "none - you go back to your normal life." So it would be an overnight in the hospital and 2 weeks off of work. That's it (not bad).

She is going to verify my insurance and make sure they will cover it before I need to decide anything. But if they will cover it, I'm seriously considering having the surgery.

Sorry, I missed this, I hope that it works out for you! Pain is never good.

We are confirmed for Club 33!!!!! So excited!

When are you there, lunch or dinner? What day? I was going to let you know that today they announced it isn't closing until January, so if your connection wasn't able to come through, I would check with mine.

I was actually there today for lunch, sooooooo good! OMG, I'm still stuffed and almost in a food coma!

My apologies too. I completely did a boo boo and missed this too!!

Have you found out if insurance is gonna cover it? If so, I hope you're considering it!

Yes our connection just found that our today too! We are going Saturday nov 2 at 715pm... So dinner. SO excited!!! It's my friend's (who is coming with us) old boss/current friend!
 
Morning! Jetski I hope everything's going alright with your arm and that if you go through w the surgery it helps! I want you to feel so much better :)

Optional surgery that leans towards necessary is so weird. I was debating for months if I should get my jaw fixed because it was an optional surgery but would fix my tmj and severe underbite. But my recovery time was about 4 months... So not the same as yours but debating on whether or not you should have a surgery is always hard!
 
We are confirmed for Club 33!!!!! So excited!

Woo hoo!!! I'm so excited for you!!

We went for lunch 3 years ago and I'm starting to think I want to go back again but I'm to chicken to ask (my Dad's friend got us the reservation and I don't know if they even still have a membership).
But I'm so happy that I got to eat there at least once. :goodvibes

Sorry, I missed this, I hope that it works out for you! Pain is never good.

Thanks. After this past weekend of having the pain come back again to the point that I can't sleep, I'm ready to do this.

I missed the call from the doctors office yesterday (they called my work number while I was at home for lunch). I called back and left a message but I have not heard back yet.

Yeah, I have known since I first started seeing the surgeon last December that it might come to this. We tried everything else (physical therapy, steriod injections, etc). This is the last thing to try, otherwise I will never be done with this completely. At least I know I tried everything else already.

With my luck, they will come back and say the insurance won't cover it (now that I've finally decided to do it). Please keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks! I was worried it would be under rehab but happy that doesn't start yet. And we get to see it before it changes drastically!

I REALLY hope the insurance approves it!! You need to get rid of that pain :(

Fingers crossed! I hate that waiting game. Mine was barely approved so I hope yours is approved without a doubt and very soon!!!!!

Thanks!! I finally connected with the doctor's secretary and she was just calling to confirm the information (so she hasn't tried contacting the insurance yet). So more waiting.
 
You guys! I am getting so excited for my California trip!!!

First Club 33 - and now we are getting a tour of the Disney Studios in Burbank!!! I am not sure how much we will see - it will depend on if we get a private tour from this sr leader of security who is our friend's contact. If he can do it, then we will see more!!!

And I haven't told our plans for my husband's birthday yet because they are a surprise. But he swore not to come here, so...

We are going to go to hollywood and see the 4D showing of Nightmare Before Christmas! Then later we are going on the TMZ bus tour! WOOO!
