I am trying to read the posts. Am on page 503 I think and you are way past that. But I found this and thank you for it.
Thanks too for all the encouragement to Dawn to get the wheelchair. She can ride in it or push it when some walking would be therapeutic. No stigma--WDW is for everyone in every situation and our situations change. When I took Mother in April of 2004--her first time--to EPCOT Flower and Garden show, I got her a wheelchair so she did not use up her limited energy walking and thus miss all there was to see. It also gave me something to hold as I had injured my knee a couple weeks earlier.
Do what works for you Dawn,
Jan
