I have been hanging out on the other boards planning a trip to WDW with my DH in October.
I decided to check this board out and found some good information.
I am a nurse, but have recently started kidney dialysis and I am on a transplant list. I have been to disney before and know how tiring it can be and the last time my legs swelled and I was unable to wear shoes or walk.
Normally I do not look sick, but due to hip pain, I do walk with a limp and I do have a state handicap sticker for parking.
My question is: Do you think I should get a GAC card during my first day just in case? Also, how available our the ECVs at Disney. I have learned how to pace myself, but I do not want to burden my husband with my tiredness. I am going to dialysis on Thursday the morning we leave, but I plan to skip Saturday and dialysis on the Tuesday evening we arrive home. I think I will be OK, but want to have a "back-up" plan---just in case.
Also, I am taking meds that need to be refrigerated (just in case) do you think asking for a refrig (even if the meds are not used) would be wrong?
Should I bring a letter from my nephrologist as proff of my Dis?
Sorry, so long----but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
