D-Day Invasion- "Strange"-ly Imminent!! TRIP REPORT IS UP!!

[marvali]

I have some trip news...

As you are doing, I am seeing this as bad news AND good news!

Can you say HOT...

Some of the bad news......HOT in September!!!

I was really upset after the appt, but have come to terms with this a bit...It is what it is and I can't really do anything about it except take care of myself so that I can participate in future trips and even a half marathon again at some point. And I can control my attitude about it - which is going to be upbeat and trying to look at the bright side.

Huge chunk of the GOOD news! You will be working towards getting better! Also, attitude has a lot to do with how you handle this, AND how quickly you heal and get better! Keep that positive attitude and think of the benefits!

Well, one thing to note is that my foot actually does feel a lot better in the boot. It has not really hurt since I put it on - which is really nice! Not hurting when I walk is a major bonus - and that part will help our trip, because I won't be in pain the whole time - pain tends to bring on the cranky.

Some more of the good news!!! Glad this next step in the process actually helps you feel better!

We don't want Grumpy Butt to show up!

I never knew there were EIGHT dwarfs.... Grumpy's twin sibling???

So, I have to have an ECV.

The good news is Disney is really set up for and very attentive to this type situation, including their transportation systems!!!

My solo days are going to be fine with the ECV, because Baker has to use a wheelchair, too - so I will be just part of the gang on that leg of my trip.

This just may make his trip to new surroundings more comfortable for him.....that you are in a similar mode of transportation. Is there a sign in here somewhere maybe........

Anyway...I am pretty discouraged, but trying to stay positive!

ohh that was close, i hope he didnt read, he was prob trying to answer your question on the green screen. speaking of disney videos.

do you have any Disney CD's with music on them, i have a few but they are old and we forgot to get the new ones this year on our trip.

 

[glennbo123]

He reads pretty slow...I'm sure he missed it.

No, I don't. But you're asking on the right thread, I think Liesa has a lot of Disney music.

 

[All7OfUs]

You guys just settle on in, and make yourselves comfy...

As I just told Mary on Skype, we are doing our last, last, LAST pack!! UGH!!

I think Rebecca has just as much music as me-- you could always hit her up, if you can't wait until I get back. Which could be a while. I won't be ready to rock and roll until Sept. 15th, and even then some.

Carry on, Soldiers....

Maroo, first of all:

I am sorry that you will have to wear that boot during your vacation. But not feeling pain is a good thing, so I hope the boot will be worthwile!

I am sure you will do fine with the ECV, Disney is so helpful for that. And you will be there during a slower time, so hopefully you won't have to battle with navigating it through the crowds (which just made me think: I think it is only very apt that the three soldiers have a vehicle with them, every army has one!! So very well done for providing this to the trip! )

And I am confident that the three of you will enjoy the trip nevertheless. Wasn't the trip all about stopping and smelling the roses. So being forced not to rush from A to B to C might actually be a good thing since it will decelerate your trip!

I wish you all the best for your foot, hopefully this will be the one thing that makes it heal finally!!


And Dan and Glenn: you two are soo funny!! Thanks for the entertainment!!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Why do I get the feeling I've missed something here?

Anywho, we'll see you on the Flip Side Liesa! Travel safe.

Sorry to hear about the boot / ECV requirement Maroo. But think of if this way. You're augmenting the infantry with a tank! Just think of how effective you could be a clearing a battle line for the rest of the battalion.

oh man........

My wheels are turning!! (No pun intended)...

How fun would it be to DECORATE it. As a TANK. lol

OH my .....


Is that totally dorky???

Dear All

I may not get to all your responses and posts over the next week. Please know I love you all, and am thinking about you, but just have so little time to 'play'.

But you can all continue to have fun in my sandbox while I"m "away". Just bury your messes...

 

[KatMark]

Where do you find these things?

I want to see her in camo.

Good morning, Liesa. How's the little one feeling?

Maroo, I hope you are feeling better. I know the "ride" is not the way you wanted to go, but your health is most important and you still get to go to Disney.
