In the emergency room as I type this! may be looking at gallbladder surgery before or after disney.

Oh no! I'd do it soon so you can be recovered before you go. Would hate to have an attack while you're there! Hope it works out for you!

Oh no!!! My husband went through the same thing exactly two years ago. Luckily, recovery was super quick. Will be thinking of you- hope you are feeling better in no time!!! I have an idea of how painful that is

I'm home now, after 4 hours and a lot of medicine and fluid. They did an informal ultrasound and said that I don't have visible gallstones, but it is inflammed. I will schedule a more in depth ultra sound on Monday. They said depending on what they find then, but I may be able to hold off until after Disney. I will just be eating less Disney burgers and more Disney salads . Thank you everyone for the well wishes. You guys are the greatest!

Question for everyone..
Are you bringing anything to read on vacation? I want something really good for the plane, and maybe for a rainy afternoon in our cabin. I just haven't heard of anything lately that really grabbed my interest.

Even though I *love* to read, I will probably not bringing a reading book (assuming I won't get time to sit long enough to enjoy it properly).

That said, I will definitely be bringing along some word search and crossword books. I can spend a few minutes or a few hours on them that way. I am a puzzle junkie. I'm weird like that .

Oh my! So sorry to hear that, gallbladder attacks can be very painful. Hope you feel better real soon!

I'm with you I have loads of puzzle type games on my iPad and my smartphone. I like the fact that you can spend a few minutes playing at any time but it isn't too distracting if you have to leave it and come back to it later. When I read I want to be able to devote a good amount of time to it or it becomes frustrating to me. Then again, it isn't hard to frustrate me lol

I just bought a big variety puzzle book like this oneat Costco but mine has over 600 puzzles and was only $3.59!

My first thought upon waking up this morning "We leave for Disney at the end of next week!" Yes, I realize that's still almost 2 weeks away but it seems a lot closer saying it that way!

One week from today my mom and I will be checking in to the Beach Club!!!

Oh Yuck

I've had mine out. The good news is that at first, I could have an attack and not have another for months. Towards the end they were frequent though.
One tip I can recommend is that as soon as you feel it coming on, take some extra strength Ibuprofen to get the swelling down. Sometimes that would stop them in their tracks for me.

And of course you know, nothing greasy, fatty, cheesy at dinner. For both my sister and I, every single attack was in the evening or at night from trying to digest what we had for dinner.
She's still going through it now and waiting for surgery. I was waiting for surgery and one night had an attack they could not get to stop when I went to Emerg. I was still in too much pain after the Demerol shot and they took it out the next morning.
The surgery is relatively easy and recovery is quick. Crossing my fingers that you can deal with this after your trip

Does anyone have a basic kindle? Can you do anything on it other than read books? Or do I need the one with wi-fi? DBF is buying me one for Disney!

 

[GrumpyBelle]

We are a day behind you----leaving 2 weeks from tomorrow!!!!!

 

[cinnderly]

19 days!!!!!!!!!
Is it too early for the suitcases to be out? If so, than...it's too late! They are out and staying out!

 

[ashmarie06]

20 days!

 

[Halloween Baby]

Just did online check-in!!

It's CRAZY that we're 10 days away here!

One question, it said during the online check-in process that they do not have my flight information on file... but I have my ME tags. Do you think I need to call Disney to see if they need it updated???

 

[beachmama3]

Leaving my house in 16 days!! The only thing I can think of is DISNEY!

Glad you are home and hope all is better soon!

I have the basic kindle and only use it for reading. There are a few games that you can download, but they look like old school video games- not much in the way of graphics. Some fun trivia games though.

I also have the Kindle Fire, which I can do a lot more on. Facebook, twitter, surf the web, play words games, etc...it's an affordable version of the iPad, with fairly decent apps. I find the Fire hard to read on- too much glare.

Both can connect to Wi-Fi.

No you're fine. If you (or your TA, if you used one) called ME directly, then your flight info wouldn't be noted on your WDW reservation. It still works the same way though.

I hope your ultrasound goes well on Monday. Sending you lots of pixie dust that you will be happy and healthy for Disney!

I check in at AKL in 2 weeks too!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!

19 days!!!!!!!!!

Too late for me too. I've had my suitcase out in the spare room for a few weeks now so I can toss stuff in that I bought just for the trip.

I have a question for the ladies....
Do you wear a regular bra at WDW or a sports bra? I keep going back and forth on what I want to wear. Will likely bring both.

Meanwhile I still need to get sewing on alterations today....
