I had to grab it while it was available.

The parade was good but just not the MNSSHP parade.

Not sure what California has about fire?

Oh it has been crazy around here. Mr. Toad holds a special place in my heart as a ride I enjoyed with my mother.
She found the last scene hysterical.

Life update

I have not been around here much in the last few months. Between getting ready for another 7 week pool shut down to do more maintenance. Still keeping up with the new training for lifeguards we implemented, not we have to upkeep. Well I finally earned some time off.

I have had a shoulder problem since I was about 12 or so and finally in March it got bad again, I went for the MRI in July and it showed some tears inthe tendons and well it wasn't getting any better so tomorrow I am having surgery to repair it. Yup 7 weeks of medical leave.

The lengths I need to go to to get some time off.

For those few that have known I appreciate all the good thoughts and now that more of you know, more good thought couldn't hurt.

I hopefully will be caught up soon. I should be able to type with at least my left hand ( they told me right too but I am sure not for a while as it even hurt at work ) I will be typing slow so please bear with me.

I do want to wrap up DL and give some hint of what Disney things have happened since then.

 

[KatMark]

Pat, I've been thinking about you, and your friend has kept me updated. I will be keeping good thoughts going for you tomorrow for the surgery and hoping this fixes you up really good.

 

[uncw89]

Pat, Good luck with the surgery!! I'll be thinking good thoughts for you!! Hope to see you NYE!! What are your dates and where are you staying?

 

[nodnol]

Hi Pat, good luck with the surgery and a quick recovery!

 

[Flossbolna]

Pat, I hope the surgery goes well and that the recovery goes quicker than expected! Will be thinking of you!!

We will be thinking of you. Shoot me a text, or have Chris do so, if he is sitting with you today, and let me know how things are going later today.

I have had very little down time or DIS time lately, so you are not alone on that. It helps, in truth, because when I am busy, busy, busy and not always looking at people's pictures, I am not longing to be there. I will be more than ready to go in December, but I am going to be so busy between now and then that the normally tough waiting time is not going to be an issue.

Anyway, keep us posted. TTYL

Ghosts fly from the castle for the fireworks show?? How cool is that?

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Pat. Good luck with the surgery and I hope you heal quickly.

Thinking of you today and hoping surgery goes well and recovery quick! Only 40 days till Disney...39 for you and what a place to recover. take it easy and don't overdo it!

 

[MeMom]

Surgery went perfectly. She did great. Six weeks of recovery and then six weeks of strengthening. Just thought I would tell you guys the message I got a little while ago. I am assuming it was from Chris.

Great minds think alike; I was just going to post this too from the text message I got.

interesting report...

 

[Poolrat]

Pat, I've been thinking about you, and your friend has kept me updated. I will be keeping good thoughts going for you tomorrow for the surgery and hoping this fixes you up really good.

Thank You - I am home and settled and while the nerve block on my shoulder is still in effect the worst part was the nausea, the funny taste in my mouth, and my left hand which apparently they stabbed several times after i was under for another IV. The anesthetist rejected all those sites they stabbed because of valves....

Pat, Good luck with the surgery!! I'll be thinking good thoughts for you!! Hope to see you NYE!! What are your dates and where are you staying?

Thank You All seems to be good. NYE again??? That's great. Dec 28- Jan 4 at BCV.

Hi Pat, good luck with the surgery and a quick recovery!

Thank you. So far so good.

Pat, I hope the surgery goes well and that the recovery goes quicker than expected! Will be thinking of you!!

Thank you. The Dr. did say my biceps tendon did look good so that was actually one procedure of three he didn't have to do. Now I need a refund for that portion...

Well now you know I did . Well my DIS time just increased tremendously.
I am sure you will be ready come December. Me too but for a different reason. I am already bored and getting stir crazy.

It was the Halloween Party so that was zero the dog. DL really goes more Nightmare before Christmas themed.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Pat. Good luck with the surgery and I hope you heal quickly.

This was an injury that I probably got started when I was 12-14 swimming. I ended up having a bone spur that basically was fraying my rotator cuff. All fixed now so just need to let it heal.

Ouch! P&PD for you for a rapid recovery!

Jill in CO

Thanks. It was better than he thought so hopfully a faster heal time, but not a faster back to work time.

Thanks - Nope a Disney trip is a great way to ease back in.

Thanks for posting this. All is good, just trying to get the nerve block and the rest of the anesthesia out of my system.

Thanks for the news!!

Thanks everyone.
Back and posting... Typing with one hand and as soon as I can feel the other one I am allowed to use it too . Just need to keep it in the sling and elbow close to me.

interesting report...

Hope you are enjoying....

 

[Poolrat]

Well dang I started that post above a little after 4.

 

[MEK]

I am SO far behind, but enjoyed your last set of pictures. I didn't know you were there at Halloween time? I'm so confused - that WAS a Halloween parade, right? It looked pretty cool.

Madame Leota looks different at DL. HM looks pretty cool. I like the overlay.

Good luck with your shoulder surgery. I know its probably going to be a painful surgery so I wish you the best during your recovery. I'll be thinking about you!

I got a good laugh at the Curb your Dog sign in Epcot last month. Denny had to ask what was so funny. Come to think of it, he probably asked the same thing in June.

 

[englishrose47]

Pat I hope everything went well !!! I have been thinking of you for several days . Hope to hear from you soon !!
