tell her to get well and hurry back
[/QUOTE]
I'll definitely give her your message. 
She's such a sweetheart. Hopefully she continues to just need Tylenol and nothing stronger.
I still have a Monkees CD.. Okay, All of them.,

Honu update!!!!!
I called the hospital again and I got to talk to Honu!!!We ended up chatting for almost two hours. She is doing very well. Fortunately, she is still mostly pain-free. She thought that she was going to have to take some major medication, but all she has been taking is Tylenol. Amazing!!!
She was able to walk around today and was able to walk all the way to the hospital's gift shop. It was a little tiring for her, but she still made it! She said that she may be able to leave the hospital in the next couple of days. She'll be staying in the hospital's hotel when she get's "sprung". Oh, and she said that she met a couple of cute neurosurgery guys. Hey, hey, hey!!!
Sadly, the guy that was cuter recently went on vacation. Too bad.
(Honu, are you getting pictures of these guys? I hope so!)
I asked her if she had gotten our messages and she said yes!! She also told me that she got all the cards, the quilt and all of the other gifts that you guys sent. She was so surprised and thrilled. She said thank you to everyone. She'll come on the DIS later tonight or tomorrow so that she can tell you herself. DisneyMomOK, Honu LOVED the McDreamy card!!
(By the way, Debbieandroo, I asked her how she did at bingo. She said that she wasn't able to join in the bingo game because it was too far from her hospital room. The doctor won't let her walk around too much. She was really disappointed because she was really looking forward to that! The girl's gotta have her bingo fix!)
She seems to be really happy at the hospital. She said that everyone is really friendly and caring. She said that the food is great, too! She read me the menu. So far she has had meatloaf, turkey, chicken enchiladas, potstickers, creme brulee (yes, creme brulee!!!) and a lot of other great dishes. They even have shrimp, steak, pizza, key lime pie and tons of other great choices. She said it's like eating in a 5-star restaurant! And yes, they also have Jello. They wouldn't be a real hospital if they didn't have Jello.
I told her that we all said hi and that we're keeping her in our thoughts and prayers. You should all be hearing from her soon. I will give her another call tomorrow.
Well, that's all folks! I'll keep you guys posted if I get any more news.
tigger, thanks from me too. So glad to read that she's doing so well. Leave it to her to turn a serious operation into an opportunity for scouting out cute doctors.
I hope that she'll won't need anything stronger than Tylenol, too. She said that she misses everyone, too. Yes, please keep praying and sending well wishes and pixie dust. The prayers and pixie dust are obviously working! I couldn't believe that she had already gotten the cards, the quilt and everything else that you guys sent. Amazing! I take back all the bad things that I've ever said about the postal service, too. I will definitely ask her about her hotel when I talk to her again. She may not find out for another day or two, though. Do you want me to tell her that there are more goodies in store for her or would you like me to keep it a secret?
You're welcome!
Yes, I had to work tonight but I talked to Honu briefly via text messages. Basically.... everything Tig posted.
awww, I knew you had to work...thanks!

I've been dying to hear some more WC news. Please keep me updated by email!! By the way, I've got an important email coming up for you. You may have already heard the news, though. Thanks for the Honu update, Tiggerfan! Even though I suck and never got around to sending out a card for her, she has had my prayers. I am thrilled to hear she's doing well.
You guys that sent her cards and gifts rock! That's so sweet and I'm sure it lifted her spirits. We all know happy thoughts lead to a faster recovery.
It's not too late to send your well wishes to Honu. You can still send her a message on MD Anderson's website. You just have to put Honu's real first and last name and your name (your DIS user name is fine) and email. Here's the link:
That's our honu! Thanks for the update, tiggerfan1. I love Tigger, by the way.
I have a question for y'all. I posed it to the theme park board as well, but would like to get the opines of all the folks here who have followed my mom's health struggles. She's doing really well, btw. Finished her 2nd week of radiation today, and actually has more energy than before. Hmm. Don't think that's how it usually works, but okay. She's flitting around more than me, despite this and despite the fact she's got 30+ years on me!Anyway, for our upcoming trip, I really want to do something special for her to surprise her with. Y'all read about my ADRs before, so no more ADRs needed. She wouldn't like a spa or golf day, and the cruises wouldn't be her thing either (they'd be mine, but that's not the point of this
I looked at the gift baskets on the Disney Florists website, but didn't see anything she'd like. I don't know if they can custom make them or not. I know she wouldn't want flowers; she thinks they're a waste of $$$. Can't get a cake because we'll have one for my birthday.
I just have no clue what to do! Mu budget is limited, but I could do around $50-$100. Maybe a little more. If any of y'all have suggestions, I'd so appreciate that. She loved the Mickey Mouse Club as a child, loves Cinderella (first movie she ever saw), and loves the song "Once Upon A Dream." How I translate any of that into a surprise, beats me.
Debbie, get un-idle on Facebook and talk to me for a few!
No need to rag on Soarin. I know she's been busy with work.........and other things.
I just checked my mail andHey, Soarin!
. Haven't gotten anything from ya.
