Girls Trip #1 (check in daily for any plans being finalized or changes/updates)

[disney-super-mom]

Ouch, Capri! That sounds awful! Are you in a cast or anything? I hope you are fully healed in time for our trip.

I'm still waiting on Ellen . . . I can't get her to call me back! She's the one confirming our flights, so I'm waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting. . . ugh.

No cast thank goodness. The doc felt a cast or walking boot wouldn't be good in our snow and slush (I'd get wet, cold toes ), plus I hurt my neck and shoulders pretty bad, so I can't really use crutches. I'm wearing a small plastic brace just to keep my foot stabilized, and I can wear my bigger tennis shoes right over it, so my foot can stay warm and dry when I have to go outside. It'll be completely healed in 3-6 weeks, so I'll be good as new by trip time.

But ouch is right! I feel like almost every part of my body got hit on the way down. I have bruises on me that I don't even remember hitting on the way down. I even have one on the bottom of my chin (although come to think of it, I did end up literally on my chin at the bottom of the stairs).

Saturday and Sunday night I could only lay on my back because of all the bruising, but last night I was able to turn over on my right side to sleep. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to roll over on my left side too, but that side really got the brunt of the fall.

Well, at least I didn't get more serious injuries. I think my guardian angel was watching out for me.

Yikes Capri! You take it easy for the next few weeks while you heal.

Just wondering, should we pick up some bubble wrap for you to use while we are at DL or do you think you'll be safe enough without it. (she's going to smack me when she sees me the first time for that one. lol)

I feel for you Capri. I've fallen down the stairs a few times but never broken anything yet.

 

[staley7580]

Oh Capri! I am so sorry!!!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Hi everyone.

Sorry I've been gone for a few days. I had a terrible accident (fell down a flight of stairs) and sustained a few injuries along the way. I'm sure you can imagine.....lots of bruises from head to toe, a few scrapes and rug burns, and a fractured foot. Yep, I'm real light on my feet!

Anyway, I've been in so much pain that I couldn't really do much of anything. I'm feeling better today though, so I thought I would jump on the computer for a bit.

I've caught up on my PMs, and I'll try to catch up with this thread in a little while.

Anyone needing to order a shirt still has time. Just let me know sometime this week for sure.

Oh Geez Capri, then I throw you on my own little roller coaster. How bad of me!!

Hope you get to feeling much better soon!

That's hilarious. Let's just steamroller her from the HoJo to the parks each day.

Sorry, Capri. I couldn't resist.

I am just back from Columbus Ohio for a veterinary conference and had a blast!! I am however a HUGE walking VIRUS now!!! Can I ever fly without becoming a major booger-fest!!!

At least I am off today and will hopefully be able to get over this thing a little by tomorrow!! I am in the public eye the entire day at work, so the sneeze/cough/booger is expecially tiresome!!!

Amy--right there with you girl! My paralegal came in sick last week and this morning I woke up with my right ear feeling totally clogged--based on past performance went to the doc and it turns out my salivary gland is infected (probably a precursor to the same booger-fest you have!) Anyway, I at least can hide (and work) at home (and get on Dis at the same time--what about that?) I don't think I could do it if I had to be face-to-face with the public!

Omigosh! How long will it take the fractured foot to heal? Hope you get better real soon--it's scary how quickly we can go from being fine to being injured. Take care!

Ok so I'm thinking I should reintroduce myself since ummm back about page 5 or so there might be some new people AND I havent posted so I'm sure with everyone here its been forgotten.

So my name is Shawna, I'm a SAHM in Gilbert AZ to 2 lovely (they are behaving now!) children. I have a daughter Morgan 7 1/2 and a son Jake who just turned 5.

Dh and I met working at WDW in 1993. I was 10 years old back then!!! In the year 2000 we moved back to AZ because my hair would not behave in the FL humidity anymore. We have successfully brainwashed our kids into thinking all things revolve around Disney.

I am the founding member of the little Hyena group who used to post on the DL board but got moved to the community board. (Its ok we are well adjusted now ) For some reason I barely make it over to the DL board anymore. I'm planning a trip to WDW in Oct so i've been "on the other side" of the DIS lately! Some people might call me a stalker . Its all true but in a friendly non-violent way so never fear! Also I'm in LOVE with Handy Manny. Stay back ladies, he's MINE!

I just picked up sewing and cake decorating trying to find my own hobby or something I'm good at. Trust me I botch EVERYTHING!!! So I'm on a quest to find my 1 thing!!! Still working on it.....

Anyway, I wanted to come the entire time but my mom is now having surgery sometime in April and I need to be here for her care afterwards. Dh is great and said he would take over but I dont want him to do it for more than a day!

I'll try to pop over here more often now. Yeesh I have a lot of pages to read to catch up on! Maybe we will just start from here.

 

[mommaU4]

I'm sorry that we will be missing so many!! Things happen and we all have to live with disappointments...but it sucks extra when it is a trip to DL!!!

We will have to all have amoment of silence to think of you guys!!!

If I haven't responded to any of the questions...feel free to point it out to me. A bit loopy on cold meds today!!

Amy

Okay, can you have that moment of silence standing in front of the castle, all of you in a circle holding hands with heads bowed? That'd be an interesting sight.

Sorry you are sick. Feel better fast!!

My family loves bread pudding!! When you have the chance can you PM me the recipe!

Thanks!

Melody

Sure! I'll do it later tonight once the chaos around here slows down. Kids just got home a little while ago and it's a freakin zoo.

It's really good though, and I am not a fan of bread pudding. It's almost like a custard. Everytime I make it and send it into work with my DH, people rave over it and ask when I'm going to make more. LOL
And it's easy to make too.

Holy crap girl!! Wow, I'm glad you are doing better now. How scary. Glad to hear things weren't worse. Take it easy.

Ouch, Capri! That sounds awful! Are you in a cast or anything? I hope you are fully healed in time for our trip.

I hope she calls you back soon. Waiting is maddening!







Hello ladies! Just stopping in to say hi. My mom wanted me to look up some baggage info online for her since she doesnt' have a computer, so I thought I'd check in real quick.

Catch ya later!!

 

[mommaU4]

We have successfully brainwashed our kids into thinking all things revolve around Disney.

What a good mom.

Nice to "meet" you again, although we'd never forget you anyway.

I'm just bummed I won't get the chance to meet you in person. But I know it's going to be a great trip and I'm super excited for everyone!!!

Later ladies!

 

[toocherie]

I DEFINITELY think we will need a Photopass photo of this, right ladies?

Beth--could you just post the recipe here? I know I would love to have it too and I'm sure so would others!

Have a great time with Mom!

My hubby read this and thinks you should bring some duct tape too.....not only to tape on the bubble wrap to my bod, but because you can put anything, or anyone (namely me) back together again with duct tape.

I'd rather bring MacGyver and he could bring the duck tape.

 

[lulubelle]

Oh Capri, girl! You poor thing . I hope you are taking it easy and healing quickly, sending pixie dust your way. Rest up for our trip, I hope you are in tip top shape for walking the parks . And tell your DH I said no duct tape for you!!!

 

[tinkermell]

LOL!!

That was good!

Please get well soon!!

Sincerely,
Melody
