A little personal update before my regular Dis update! Those of you who followed my PTR know a little about by thyroid drama. Well, it's official now. It's coming out 5/28.
I'm still really freaked at the idea of having it done BUT after talking to my endocrinologist again I know its the best thing, wisest thing to do. He refered me to the surgeon who is great! She was sooooo nice and really took the time to sit down with DH and I and go over what to do and what was best. The only draw back to using this surgeon is that she is almost an hour and a half away from home! UGH! My endocrinologist is fantastic and I know he wouldn't refer to a doctor any less then fantastic!
So, I'm hoping to have this done before then and then spend my recovery living vicariously through others, or maybe starting another PTR
Anyway, onto the real business
Day 2 part 1
Ring ring, ring ring!! Holy cow its 7 in the morning and the freaking phone is ringing! Hello I say, NO SLEEPING! Stitch yelled in my ear. UGUGH! Mickey apologized for Stitches behavior. That was nice but it would be better if he changed that stupid wake up call! But I couldnt dwell on that! I had to get in the shower!
After a nice, relaxing, no kids knocking on the door shower I was quickly getting myself dressed and ready. When what do my ears hear but a knock on the door!
Ahhh breakfast is served! Before we went to bed the night before I called room service and ordered our breakfast for the next morning! The lady who delivered it was lovely and set it up all nice on the little table that pulled out from under the desk! DH was, of course, still snoring away so I sat all by myself (sniff, sniff) and ate my blueberry pancakes with his Aloha eggs still under their cover. The pancakes were very yummy but the blueberries seemed to be concentrated in the middle and ended up being a bit overpowering. I didnt eat the middle for that reason. The pancakes were so big it didnt matter anyway. I couldnt have eaten the entire thing anyway!
After my breakfast I quickly finished getting myself ready, made plans to meet DH, who was now coming out of his coma thanks to the smell of food
, at the coffee stand at TTC, kissed him goodbye and headed out on my own!
After a beautiful walk I was at the monorail station, bordered and quickly found myself at GF! I meandered down the lovely grand staircase and out the front doors!
I lovely gentlemen of a CM pointed me in the right direction and I took a pretty long walk to reach my destination,
the Spa!!!!!
I checked in with a lovely, very chipper CM who escorted me into the womens lounge showed me where everything was and explained to me what to do. I changed into a robe and slippers, stored my stuff in a locker and waited in the lounge for my masseuse to come get me!
After sitting for a few minutes sipping ice water the door opened and my name was called!
But wait, I was caught completely and totally off guard, not something that happens to me often! My masseuse was really a masseur! Yes, a guy! Oh my!
Ok, I tend to think Im an open minded kinda gal but I was a teeny bit freaked by a guy massaging me! After all, I was going to naked (UGH!) under the blankets. I also knew that DH would be a bit uncomfortable with this.
I hesitated for a second and wondered if I could request a woman. Then it occurred to me that I was positive that this guy wouldnt be working here if there was any question in the minds of the people at Disney that he wasnt the utmost professional and superb at his job.
So I went for it and he escorted me to the room!
He was super nice and super sweet! I wish I could remember his name, but I cant!!
He did a massage with warm, round rocks. It wasnt a hot stone massage because, like he said, he wasnt leaving the stones on me and the stone were a little different then used for a hot stone massage.
He did a spectacular job! I swear it was the best massage Ive ever had! At one point he told me to exhale and relax into the table. Then he rubbed down the center of my back. My back went crack, crack, crack and there was a tremendous release of pressure and tension in my back that I felt instantly! Ahhhh!!! I said Wow! I think I needed that! He said You really did!
My 50 minutes were up way, way too soon! I really wish I had more time! I will definitely be returning to the spa at GF!!!!
I got myself together again and headed back to the monorail! I called DH and let him know I was on my way and would meet him soon!
After a quick ride I was at TTC! I wasnt really thinking about what I was doing and followed the signs for the Epcot monorail. Of course I ended up on the epcot platform and never walked pasted the coffee stand were DH was waiting for me. Oh well, I called DH and had him walk up to meet me on the platform!
Soon enough we were off to Epcot!
Sorry no pictures in this update!! There will be tons in the next one!!
lmao
it sounds like a wonderful meal! i agree about crashing on the bed when there's a perfectly good beach with chairs and hammocks so close by - i'd have gone out, too! Sounds like a wonderful first night so far, hope Wishes was spectacular!
LOL! That meal was soooo good! Truly in the top 5 of meals we've ever had! 
But, I love lobster, shrimp and crab! 
and they were staring out of jealousy. (I would've felt uncomfortable too though, I'm not an attention seeking person, would rather blend into the scenery).
I think the view may have been a little better from other areas on the landing. But, because there was only 2 of us it was easiest to rope of the corner. Really, I would have LOVED an area big enough for the 2 of us to stand in the train station or by the Partners statue!
area for Wishes and a massage. This truly is the ultimate no kids, pamper Mommy trip! I LOVE IT!
I have to agree, in my mind not much more could be better!
