Confession time:
Some days I wake up nauseous. Most days I don't mention it to anyone because I know it'll go away in an hour or two, all by itself. This is just me.
Sometimes, when I deviate from my usual low fat, unprocessed diet, I vomit. It's unfortunate and embarassing, but not something I can predict or prevent ( though I try!). I've had this issue since I was a child.
A few times in my life I've contracted a horrible bronchial cough that stuck around for six months or more. No way am I letting this keep me inside. My husband still laughs about the hilarious contortions I went through trying not to cough in the middle of a Voices of Liberty concert!
We have pictures of our 12yo daughter looking wan and pale in WDW. I swear she seemed fine to us at the time, but evidently she hadn't recovered as fully as we thought from the previous night's bout of croup. We didn't notice until we looked at our pics and went, "Whoa, sweetheart, you look terrible!"
Just the thing to tell a sensitive preteen.
My son got a bad case of molloscum, which is in the pox family, but which hangs around for potentially years. You bet I let him swim at Disney! We just didn't share towels. I also let him swim with a big ol' wart on his toe.
I know contagion is a fact of life. I don't berate people for choosing to go to the parks when they're feeling under the weather. When I see wobbly folks in the parks, I just feel sorry for them, and hope they feel better soon. I also make sure to wash my hands at every opportunity.
Judge away!
Edit: I meant to add - Thank you, op, for posting this! I didn't know own the first aid centers at Disney worked, and I was very interested to read about your experience. Your post was informative and helpful!
