Hi LL!
Sorry to hear you had a tough day the other day, but good for you for having good spirits today!!! Just think, you didn't miss much weather wise this weekend!! It's a good time to be and DIS and watch movies for sure!!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Glad to hear you are feeling better today!! How soon before you are allowed to go outside and walk!! I'm sure I would have a good case of cabin fever by now!

I'm toying with the idea of going outside for a walk today. The only thing that makes me uneasy is that I have three flights of stairs to battle and I think I'll pretty much go down and back up.

I would also take the itchy incisions as a good healing sign.

Sorry you are getting kinda crazy just sitting around -- how long do you think it will be before you're good to go outside and walk around?

I'm hoping today or tomorrow I'll be able to go for a walk. I don't want to over due it and then feel crappy again.

I'm glad you're starting to feel better.
Boo to going stir crazy.
Yay for wicked itchy incisions. That means healing.

I think it will be better once I can start doing something crafty but right now I don't think my stomach would like bending over a sewing machine.

No I didn't miss much weather wise at all. In fact, it was kinda nice to have the sliding glass door open with all that nice cool air!

So great to read your posts and hear you are recovering so nicely. Just remember that recovering from surgery is never linear. You can have a good day and a "not so good" day. That is normal and all part of the healing process. I like to recommend to post-op patients that they take pain meds three times a day - morning, afternoon, and night. When you are feeling better drop out the afternoon or replace it with tylenol or Motrin. Never let yourself get too uncomfortable. You will get to the point when all you need is Tylenol.

Thank you for being brave enough to talk to us about your surgery and recovery. You're a special young lady and you have lots of people routing for you! Keep the updates coming whenever you feel up to it!

Lastly, I can't wait to read more!!

All I can take right now is my liquid pain meds. I can't swallow pills or anything for a few more weeks. I'm mainly taking it once a day and then at night. I get a bit uncomfortable when I sleep so it helps out a lot.

I am hoping to update either today or tomorrow. I'm starting to feel human again and I'm getting really bored so I need to occupy myself.

Thanks for joining in!! I am really hoping to update today or tomorrow. I'm reading Mousejunkies right now and I am so ready to start really planning this trip. Jen said I could plan everything out so I've got lots to do.

I am so glad you're well, LL! And I am so excited for your trip!

Thanks! I'm so glad to see you around here!!

Hi LL! Let me add to the well wishes and congratulations that your recovery is going well.

Someday when you have little ones, you'll look back at this forced inactivity with fondness.

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

I'm glad you're feeling better!! You'll probably have good days and bad days but it will definitely be worth it in the end! Yay itchy incision=healing!!

 

[DreaGirl]

Okay, I feel so out of it! I had no idea that you started this PTR until I saw your response in Wigd's TR and noticed a new PTR!

Anyway, all caught up now. We loved Pop in November. Great place for a great price. The price of an AP is scary, but if you are going to use it, totally worth it.

Hope your recovery is going well and your liquid diet isn't grossing you out too much.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

LOL, I'm reading Mousejunkies too! It's great!

I should have taken you to hear the Mousejunkies talk! I never thought I would see a room of people who think exactly like you and TOTALLY get the Disney Obsession.

MOUSEJUNKIE fans....they did mention that the release date for #2 should be soon

 

[Charleston Princess]

There's going to be another Mousejunkies book? Oh, I can't wait!

 

[jenjolt]

Woot!! I'm a big fan of the Mousejunkies!!

And yes you must plan our whole trip LOL!! I expect lists and more lists and even a spreadsheet or two...although I'll do our ADR math LOL!!

Good Night Leslie!!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

There's going to be another Mousejunkies book? Oh, I can't wait!

They did say that there is going to be a 2nd book and he was waiting to hear from the editors about a release date.

I brought my DD to their book signing/speaking engagement. They were all there except Jenna and she thought it was so funny that there are other adults who love WDW like mommy!!!

 

[Happydog]

Hey LL!!! Glad to hear you are healing up and starting to feel up to your old antics!!! Mousejunkies??!! GOOD Grief, I have to get a copy!!! YAY!! A new book!!!!

Hey ... Ho Ho HO...

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Mousejunkies is a read aloud in our car!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Hey LL,

Glad to hear your doing well... I does take time to recover-you had surgery and that puts a strain on your body...you need to let it have the time it needs to heal properly...

Too funny about Mousejunkies-I had to order a book for David from Amazon a couple of day ago...-and I order Mousejunkies to get the free shipping... You know-you have to order $25...dollars worth...

 

[MinnieNurse]

Austin!!!!

You will not be far from me!!!

 

[Megablocks]

My mom ordered Mousejunkies -- I am off today and tomorrow so I'm definitely borrowing it! I can't wait to read it.

 

[MinnieNurse]

I was so caught up in your surgery that I forgot about the PTR. So I went back and am now all up to date. The trip sounds like it will be a blast. You know I was just looking at Mickey Mom's trip report and the pictures of Pop. We went there our first trip in 2005 and I really want to go back. I love all the colors.

Your November trip also sounds great. We stayed at POFQ in 2007 and loved both sides of that resort. I am still working on DH for a 12/2010 trip and a value or POR is what I am aiming for. He is slowly seeing it my way.

I have been following you on FB and know you are doing good after your surgery. Just remember what I always tell you "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I am so happy for you that you made such a life changing decision, I know it has impacted my life for the better and hope it does yours as well.
