Resort Hoppin' with Wigd and Shocker! Contests!

[Lady Lallie]

Torn meniscus, arthritis, and something else - something about a 'flap' of bone or tissue or something.

He told me he would NOT be able to get me to 100%, but he could get me some degree of relief. I have a dull pain rather than a sharp pain now, so it is better. What's killing me now is the plantar fasciitis in the left heel. It is painful! Between the two legs, I am the walking wounded, and I don't like it one bit.

I want to get up and walk normally from morning until night, but it's just not happening. The good thing is the plantar fasciitis should heal eventually, so there is hope for a less hobbly tomorrow...someday.

That's almost EXACTLY what my mom is dealing with. Torn meniscus, arthritis and there was something else going on in there too. I will have to tell her there is hope, she is feeling very discouraged. She saw her surgeon today and he told it her it would continue to get better but she really has to lose some weight, she's down in the dumps.

I have plantar fascititis and it's not pleasant at all!! Something that helped mine was at Walmart they sell this little band that you wear around your arch, it really helped mine to start feeling better. Plus it was under $5 so it was worth it to me to try.

So glad Wigd is doing well!!

So glad that Wigd is doing well.

I must not be quick on the uptake today because I totally didn't catch the whole Dr. Frank N. Stein thing until MeMom said something!

 

[Poolrat]

Wigd- Glad to hear you are on the mend.

Shocker- Are you on Hairdresser duty again ???

 

[raider97]

Wigd is resting, somewhat comfortably, while attached to a machine that circulates ice water to a wrap on her shoulder. Thanks for everyone's kind words and well wishes!

Good to hear! Hope her recovery goes very quickly. Thanks for the update.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I wish you a comfortable and speedy recovery!

 

[pooh'smate]

Anita, I hope you are feeling better soon. Glad to hear your surgery went good.

 

[jillyb]

Glad the surgery went well and hope you're doing well today.

 

[njtinkmom]

Glad to hear you are home - rest up and get better soon!

Well we just got back on Sunday (thanks for the tip about Basin! I bought a shampoo bar that is weird but fabulous and Sangria Lip Scrub, that I could eat with a spoon!! anyway last night my dh suprised me with a trip to SSR in 8 days for a long weekend!! Do you know how hard it is to get ADR's in 8 days!! But I do have a question - if you are up to it... For our first night we could not get any DVC (weird for a Thursday) so we are staying at POP and then transferring to SSR. Will they transfer my luggage? And how do I set up ME? I technically have 2 different ressies because the 1st one is cash. I was a little bummed they would not let me have ddp while at pop because I have an AP and didn't want to buy a package - have you heard of this? I know you are veterans at split stays - so I look to your wealth of knowledge for help! Thanks again and feel better!

Hi! I read this new novella yesterday but forgot to post! Sorry we lost connection last night but I am glad you sounded good.

Can't wait to read and see more of this trip....BTW - tell me more about Shula's or at least let me know which trip you went! I tried to find it but to no avail! I booked us ressies but not sure what you enjoyed so much.

No way! Going back in eight days?!?
Lucky!!!
Yes, they will transfer your bags for you.

Most DVC stays are for Sunday through Thursday nights with check out on Friday. Maybe that's why you can't get that Thursday. Then the points go way up!

I would think that if you have two different reservations that you could get the ddp for your pop night. Do you happen to have a TIW card? We rarely get a dining plan anymore but then again we don't have anyone that is in the childrens price range...

My phone ran out of power and just as you were telling me about Chad walking into your house!

I need to call you back!!!
We did love Shula's, the best steak I've ever had in my life!
It's pricey though.
Check it out, located at the Dolphin.

We went Spring Break. So that was Clowning around on the Boardwalk trip report...

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and imagination put into our DIStown.

I have enjoyed reading about it even when I wasn't up to commenting.

I really think it's going to be a wonderful place to live!

Just a quick report on me, I'm following the rules and staying on top of the pain by keeping up with the pain pills. I don't feel weird or anything but I do feel very comfortable.

I hope I can say that when I leave physical therapy this afternoon.

 

[Native NYer]

Very comfortable is good
I hope physical therapy goes well.

 

[Cat0727]

Glad you are home, wigd! Hope physical therapy went well.

 

[*dreamit*doit*]

Hi Anita! Keep following those rules - very comfortable is very good!

Hope PT is as pain-free as possible for you.

 

[ivo004]

Hope PT went well this afternoon . Thanks for the updates

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Hope PT went well today. Thanks for checking in. Hang in there!!

 

[jenjolt]

Good Evening Anita! I hope PT went well and you are back home relaxing!!!!

 

[vamassey1]

Keep taking those good pills. I really hope they helped with PT.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

My therapist said that my range of motion was much better so I imagine that was due to the surgery.
He had my arm up quite a ways and I also imagine part of that was due to the post surgical pain meds...

No driving for me this week, so Marc will drop me at school in the morning so that I can meet with my team. Then home for a nap before afternoon PT.
