I did most of Disney in a wheelchair last time. In a way it was sort of nice (don't tell DH).... In the July heat, I got a bit of a breeze as he pushed me, and I didn't have to walk and get all tired! haha.... hey, there's always an upside, right?? Okay, well, maybe you would rather be able to walk around, and I hope that all this pain goes away very quickly for you!
Excellent!
Poor you!! You should search the internet for exercises geared for wheelchair bound people - I would think there might be something out there. (I am a nurse, which is why I am thinking of it) Although it is nothing close to what you are going through my DH just had knee surgery but developed a hematoma in his calf after surgery. It has been almost a month now and he is just starting PT. He is way behind and I wonder if we will be getting a wheelchair for him. It is one reason we have decided to fly instead of drive this trip.
There are also the
ECV's. My TA advised me against them if people annoy me, as she said the temptation to run people over is great.
I went back to the doctor's yesterday and saw a different one. This time, it was one with a sports medicine interest. He said my recovery is going fine and restated the 3-6 month time frame for pain. However, he's sending me for a musculoskeletal (all spelling errors are mine) ultrasound, which will show the damage level in the calf. He added, and I appreciated this, "You know papercuts, right? Tiny little things, but man do they hurt. It's possible that nothing will turn up on the ultrasound, but like a papercut, it still hurts." It's a nice way to immediately tell me that he's not dismissing my pain.
He also said it was time for some light walking. He then lectured me about wearing appropriate footwear - sneakers or cross-trainers. No flip-flops, sandals, or unsupportive shoes, because they would stretch my calf too much. This kind of stinks, because I have
crocs that work so well for me in Disney. They're always my "other" pair of shoes and I don't know what I'm going to do now.
Curse you, uncooperative body! Currrrrrrrse you.
Ahem. I'll be fine.
and melting in the heat! But then again... now that I think about it... I'm sitting here at work, in air conditioning, and I'd much rather be walking around WS, melting in the heat, than sitting here all nice and cool! I need to remember that when I'm there! Same goes for misbehaving children... at least I'm in Disney!
YEAH! Last year, here in SE Michigan, we had a heat index OVER 100 degrees, during the annual Ann Arbor Art Fair. I was thinking "I could be in Disney for this kind of weather and these crowds. I'd RATHER be in Disney. Grumble."
I guess I'll get to do as I say this year!! I think my dad and I are already planning our ice cream stops!
I'm spending time on Skype with my niece (who is ALMOST 7 months old), so she's getting to "know" me. I won't be a total stranger in July, which is good. Especially since she's my own personal mini-me! I'm so taking her to meet characters and for photo ops. Can you blame me?

I think I have 67 days!!
