This weekend we took care of the long list of things we needed to get for our trip:
- new shoes for myself & daughter (why do kids feet grow so fast)
- something for me to wear to Christmas Dinner
- new underwear for the kid (when she is older she will kill me for remarks like this)
- small travel size toiletries
- a book for the airplane
- a few stocking stuffers from Santa
- pattern for our Christmas Day shirts dropped off at Mom's for stitching on

I officially need nothing else for my daughter's packing needs!!!!!
I need a dress shirt for my hubby (Christmas dinner we are getting snazzy) and a heavier fleece.jacket of some type for myself for those "cold" December nights in Orlando...current lows are in the 50-60 so I better be ready (HA!)

2 weeks and counting and so so so ready.

Oh your making me nervous! So much to do!! We leave two weeks from today!

You'll have a great time! Nothing like WDW for the holidays! Just make sure you don't stress yourself out because they you're more susceptible to colds and such.

I'd add zicam to your list of needed items, if you take anything like that; I swear by it. Anytime I think I'm getting a cold, I start taking it and probably 5 times out of 7 I have avoided any real sickness! You just have to take it at the very beginning or it doesn't work. My friend takes it too and he says the same thing - it's saved him from some colds. This time of year it can't hurt to have it!

I am a day late, but that makes no difference at all...Doing the Single Digit Dance

 

[teekathepony]

Hooray for single digit dance!! It will be here before you know it!

So we are one week from our trip....8 days at Wilderness Lodge for Christmas at Disney World...

So what is the glitch? Well This morning I had my appendix removed!!!
It all started Thursday with a pain and Saturday afternoon I still felt a little off - not really in pain but something was off. So after consulting a family member who is a doctor we headed to the ER to be sure...and the rest is history.

The Bad news - I am in the hospital and will not be able to lift much or do much the next couple of days...packing should be interesting

The Good news...They are pretty sure I will still be okay for the trip. Might have to take it easy and skip out of some of the faster rides but I will be there!!

That si my weekend update

 

[BridgetR3]

Oh my goodness!!!! Definitely take it easy!!

Glad you were able to get it out in time! I'm sorry it was so close to your trip.

Rent a scooter if you need one for the parks.

Sending you for a quick healing!

 

[teekathepony]

Oh my gosh! Well, at least you got it out and therefore the pain won't affect you on your trip! Rest up and I'm hoping for a nice speedy (and complete!) recovery for you!

Glad you are ok. If it had to happen at least it's enough time to recover before your trip. I wish you a speedy recovery!

 

[Wood Nymph]

That's too bad about the surgery. I hope you feel better fast. At least you are staying at a compact resort. the WL is a great place to relax and take it easy, especially with all those fireplaces and comfy seating areas. But hopefully, you won't need them.

 

[MeeskaMomma]

Oh no!!!!!! I wish you a speedy recovery!

 

[deedee2177]

Just joining in. Hope you are feeling better from you surgery. Just glad it didn't happen while you were away!!

Hope you are planning on doing a TR....I'm so pushy!

 

[ZehnJahren]

WHOA what an update! Thank goodness you went to the hospital; my good friend just had his appendix removed and he was 100% good to go (and acting normally) within a week, so I wish the same for you.

Always remember you can get an ecv too, if you're still tired once your trip comes around. We got a wheelchair for my mom when her blisters became too much to bear, and it was a great idea because we still had a great time together but she wasn't hurting constantly and making things worse for when she got home. Plus I got a great workout!

GET WELL SOON!

Totally planning a trip report..not pushy at all. I am thinking of starting it Saturday evening to be ready and hopefully doing at least one update while we are there.

I am healing slowly. Being forced to do little activity is driving me a little crazy but I am following doc orders on this one so I am all good for Disney. (At first when he was about to do the surgery he said I might not be able to go and I almost died)

We are super close to taking off for our holiday adventure and yesterday my Mom dropped off our Pajamas. We have a tradition of wearing matching PJ's on Christmas and this year will be no different...but they had to be just right so....


I can not wait to be eating at Crystal Palace in these.....ahhhhh let me leave now please?

 

[BridgetR3]

So excited for you!!! PJs look great! Have a wonderful time!

 

[MeeskaMomma]

Love the pajamas! And cannot wait for the trip report!
