Starting to Get Nervous...

[Julieh22]

We leave next sunday for our long awaited trip to WDW and a week at the Beach Club (I have worked a lot of OT for this and many mid-night shifts which I hate . Okay, my grandfather has been quite ill on and off for a year now. He has Alzheimer's and has been in and out of the hospital 3 times in the last 3 weeks. We live in TN, so it's not toooo far from WDW. I guess my problem is worrying that something will happen while we are gone. I have set and really thought about this and have decided that I can't hold up life on the "offchance" that something might happen.... Really I'm just venting because I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited about my trip, but afraid that something negative could happen while we are out of state.

I always stress and worry before my WDW trips. I guess its the pessimistic side of me. I worry that someone is going to get sick before we leave, get sick while we are there, and on and on. I think your worry is quite normal, expecially since your family member's health is declining. Something could happen while you are there, but there is no way to know for sure. Just try to overlook that anxious feeling in your stomach for the next few days and once you get there - have a great time!

I completely understand what you are going through. In fact, I had to re-read to make sure it wasn't me.

It has been a long year for DH and I. For me work has beed short-staffed, OT, promotion, new people.

My DH's grandfather has lung cancer and had a heart attack last week. He is out of the hospital, but still has bad days. He lives in TN and about 8 hours from us. So, we have both been worrying about what we will do.

The only thing we can do keep praying! We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

We are also going through something similar. My DH's Grandmother who raised him turns 09 while we are away and she has been suffering stokes the past few weeks. She was let out of hospital last weekend and is very weak. I'm scared to bits that something will happen while we're away!! We are from Ontario, so it's a bit of a hike back home! I like you have worked MANY night shifts extra to help pay for our trip. Healthcare workers can usually find extra shifts when they want them!!

Many prayers for you....it's tough. But one thing I know is that she wouldn't want to ruin our first ever family vacation on purpose!!
