pixiedust: EXACTLY what she said to do so....."I'm Going to Disneyland!!!!" Booked via the 50% deal (which isn't really 50% as it's "upto") but I was more than happy with the price for 3n/4days and got a bargain on the Eurostar with indirect trains there at 7am (gotta love being in walking distance of the terminal :love:). So I am taking the kids, as a surprise, 25th August, in the Cheyenne (oh my life i'm slumming it LOL!) and I think I might just burst!

My Dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and it was the worst time ever for me as i've only got my Dad. He was fantastic, called an ambulance and was operated on within 40 mins. I attended his nurse appointment with him yesterday and she said that stress was the trigger. We have been through a few bad years with family losses, cancer, moving houses.....and Dad and I do not deal well with stress. It goes under the mat and stays there. I am undergoing genetic testing and I've been told I have to find an outlet to let go. At that is my favourite place in the whole world! :cloud9: My last few trips have been escapism and this one will be no exception. It's a shorter trip than I'm used to by one whole day :lmao: but the thought of maybe not seeing Fantillusion or even Tarzan again, proved toooooo much. I buckled.

So bring it on!! I'm not doing ANY planning this time around, I know it well enough to know the drill :rotfl2: but main targets are to take my son into Salon Mickey (he missed out last year's trip due to exams) and to watch Fantillusion and the fireworks every night! Take both kids to see Tarzan (they have never seen it) and also Captain E.O as my DD and I love it (and again DS has never seen it properly). So with DD now being tall enough for R'n'R and RC Racer, this really will be a family trip!!party:
 
yey - just what the doctor ordered Lisa :cool1::cool1:!
 
Great news Lisa. I hope your tests go well and that your dads on the road to recovery and gets back to health soon. Sounds like you had an awful tough time of it but its great to know you'll have a few days to escape and relax and then you'll be able to return home in fighting fit form. :hug:
 

Congratulations on the booking :) How exciting. Hope all goes well with you and your dad :hug:
 
Congrats on the booking:thumbsup2 Take it your dad had the angioplasty/angiogram done? Its amazing what they do, I have been lucky to see it a few times:goodvibes

Dad did - he didn't have any anesthetic either - if they hadn't have done it there and then he would have died on the table :sad1: . He said it hurt more than the attack (which he actually had in the ambulance on the way) so he's so extremely lucky! Puts thing into perspective and though it's my big birthday next year and I want to celebrate in style, anything could happen so I decided to cut down next years trip and use some of the money for this year (which was far less with the 50% sale :dance3:) I can't wait!! :woohoo:

When I have watched them do the procedure its amazing how they can get the stents in from where they start.

My uncle wasn't so lucky he died before they got him to the lab to do the procedure, the crew had to go to A&E instead.

My job certainly has made me put things into perspective, life is precious & short. Hope your dad continues to do wel:goodvibes
 
Thanks Nikki :hug: Dad was lucky as the Harvey has a special heart unit that has only recently opened - without it he would've died too. Seeing as he retired six weeks before the attack, actually FROM the Harvey too, they just rushed him into the unit and dealt with him straight away. It was a total fluke it happened, a bit of furring had broken off in a chunk instead of breaking down as normal, and caused a clot. He is one of the most healthiest and fittest people I know, and seeing as he's 67, he was very lucky indeed!

But as soon as the specialist Nurse warned me that I was too much like Dad in not letting stress out, I booked this break as soon as I saw the offer! It's the first time I've actually been on my "own" with the kids, but they know the drill :rotfl2:

We take all patients in Kent who are having a certain type of heart attack to the Harvey PpCI lab for the procedure:thumbsup2

You'll be fine, i'm sure your kids will have a great time:goodvibes
