nonnasally,
I understand completely! I have had my trip booked since the last one last year in October. DD is a competitive dancer and now has tendonitis in both knees. She has been doing physical therapy for a few months, but this past week, both knees swelled and she has been complaining more about the pain. She goes in tomorrow to see the dr and I expect him to say no dance or PE for at least a month. We leave the next day.
On top of that, I am battling planter fasciitis in my right foot. I also have been in physical therapy and my heel has been getting better until the last week.
I have all of these plans in place and now wonder just how much we will be able to do. I do have insurance, but the thought of canceling is worse than the thought of just doing less.
I would take it day by day. If you DH is up for it, I'd take him. You can also rent a scooter if that would help him. Be sure to check out the disabilities thread here on the DISboards. There are a lot of people who can offer advice and support.
Hang in there. You are not being selfish. Hopefully, your plans will work out.
There was a notice on the board today that the flu is going around in my daughter's class~ ack!!! Hope it stays away.....
Have you had the shot in your foot? My mom has plantar fascitis, and she just got her 2nd shot so she will be good-to-go for WDW. If it's been 6 months since your last shot, ask your dr. to get you in ASAP!
You might want to speak to your DH about it. I know it would ruin the surprise, but considering the circumstances...He only knew we were going away for his birthday as he put in for vacation months ago. Since then I have purchased MNSSHP tickets for the family, upgraded the dining plan, and even paid to surprise him with the Magic Kingdom private tour. What to do? I called Disney and they will work with me whatever I decide. My problem is this --- DD feels that DGD should still go. Oh, yeah, I would stay home with DH for his birthday!
I am still hanging on to the hope that he will feel a bit better in two weeks and we will still go. Sorry to put a cloud on our October thread but I really feel alone and torn about this. Just need to vent. Thanks for listening.
19 days.
I have bloodwork next mon. poohbear and am terrified!~ Oh well, just have to get past that and then the trip'll be here!
