The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[bear74]

Rees' surgery is set for 10am Monday. We have to be at the hospital at 7:30am. John is going with us. Rees will hopefully get to come home on Tuesday. I have no idea if they have internet at the hospital, but John will have his Blackberry so I'll try to post. Do I need to change the skin to the mobile setting for this to work? If not, I will call someone to have them post for me.

prayers that he stays healthy with no fever this weekend.

We leave for DL at 5:00 Sunday morning. Our plan is to drive through, stopping in Vegas for lunch and a run into the Disney outlet store, and then on to our hotel. We have ressies at Rainforest Cafe at 7:30 in the evening, so I'm hoping we get there early enough to shop in DD as there are several items I need to pick up. I can't wait!!!!! I'm so excited to be going with Alan and no kids. We did this on our honeymoon, and had such a great time! It will be nice to do it again, now!

have a great trip glynnis

Well all, alot has gone on since I was last here. I guess moving and getting married are the biggest. I no longer live in Ohio. I now live in North Carolina. We moved about 3 months ago. I just got married a week ago today. For the longest time I didn't have internet access so that was rough. Getting everyone settled, the kids in new schools, finding a house, things have been really crazy. We still don't have all our stuff moved...like I said, crazy!! I still won't be back on the DIS full time yet, but I should be able to pop in more often. I gotta lot of catching up to do. Hope everyone is doing well!!

congrats gina on getting married.
hopefully with summer here you can get your new house organized soon.

Sounds like you have a nice day planned. There's nothing better than curling up in a pool of sunlight with a good book! Wish I had time for that today, but I don't. Do it for me, will you? Hope it's good!

I just got back in from my reading in the garden... I read a bit for you so in return you have to say hi to Mickey for me

Hi all. Sorry for the delay in posting, but Terra and I just got home a little while ago. Phil's appointment was semi-successful. The primary thing they did was increase his anti-depressant dosage. The also suggested a nother type of medication, but it has both of us a little nervous. I think that since my parents will be here to take Terra next week if needed we're going to give it a few days to see how things pan our before deciding on the new meds. It seems that the extreme dosage of Vitamin D that the doctor prescribed last week is at least part of the culprit. He took the first pill yesterday and within 12 hours was sinking quickly and deeply into a depression. Now that we are 24 hours past that pill, he is doing increasingly better. The current plan is to talk to the doctor again on Monday before taking another Vitamin D next week. For now, I am just praying that Phil at least stays where he is now or, even better, improves. Past that, I just pray that the way is paved for us to move sooner rather than later, but whatever happens I trust that it is for the best.

Thank you all again for your continued prayers. It means the world to me and really brought me peace this morning as I waited impatiently for Phil and Terra to get into town. You all are the best.

Tia I am so glad to read that everything turned out okay. have a fun week with your parents there. hopefuuly things will get better for phil soon.

Okay caught up from the 2 days I missed cause of work. Well Olivia and I are both not feeling good. Olivia started having a cough and runny nose yeserday. well this morning she woke up at 9 having labored breating. I gave her a nebulizer treatment. It worked a little bit. She feels warm to the touch but the therometer says no fever. I gave her half of a claritin tab last night thinking it was her allergies. She fell asleep in my lap around 1030am -1100am she has woke up a couple of times. tried laying her down and she woke up. I cant get her to eat or drink anything yet. As for me My face feels a bit swollen on the side where my wisdom tooth is bothering me, I have a runny nose, cough, and sore throat on top of having teeth pain. it hurts to chew and swallow.

last night we were watching the movie cutting edge 2. well Olivia sees the ice skaters and starts calling them princess. Then she started pretending to skate ad dance like them. it was real cute.

Chuck says he isn't lurking anymore. He couldn't keep up. He says it was too confusing for him jumping from conversation to conversation. I'm glad he gave it a try. I would have loved to have him join us but right now, I hope he truly isn't lurking.

I'm so darn frustrated!!! Please understand that I am very sympathetic about his condition. I know that he is in pain and that in this case, he is just as disappointed as I am.

Now to my frustration - it is always something with him. For years, every time we had plans to go down state (across the Mackinac Bridge to visit my aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.), he got sick. I swear it was nerves. He would usually end up going so it wasn't that he was trying to get out of going. However, I would have preferred he stayed home because it usually dimmed my happiness in the trip. Or if he didn't go, my mother harped on me about not letting him get away with that reminding me of my cousin's husband who didn't come to anything.

When I planned our first trip to Disney, I was terrified! If he doesn't eat right, drink enough water, and get enough rest, he gets grumpy. Now most people would think his grumpy wasn't grumpy but to the girls & I, it is grumpy. We were truly amazed that he enjoyed himself and wanted to go back. That is one of the reasons that we aren't changing things. His belief is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". So we'll continue to stay at POR until we can afford DVC. At that time, I'll probably have to make sure we can always stay at OKW (whether it is our home resort or not) because it is the closest to POR from what I can tell.

I always have to modify the way that I want to do things so that I make sure he is eating, sleeping and drinking right. We could never do anything the "value" way. Packing a lunch just wouldn't cut it. He would hate the value resorts. To me, I love POR but sometimes I wish we could stay at a value resort for part of our trip and then move to a deluxe. That wouldn't happen because just moving would stress Chuck out.

Thanks for letting me vent. Chuck is a wonderful, awesome husband and father. He remembers my birthday, mothers day, and our anniversary. He does his fair share of house work & cooking. He is very even tempered and straight thinking. Most of my friends have trouble listening to me vent because he is so head & shoulders above their husbands that they don't understand what I'm complaining about.

The thing I'm most concerned about is that I'd love to travel by car across the country. At this point, I don't see that happening. He has talked about buying a camper & traveling with me after we retire but I am so worried that it won't happen. I don't want to be stuck home or going by myself all the time. I want to go on a cruise but I'm pretty sure that he'd hate it which is why I'm trying to do some research to show him what he'd enjoy. He would go with me if I really push the point, but I don't want him there if he couldn't enjoy himself.

Ok, my vent is over so back to your regularly scheduled program.

Vicki, Chuck will probably enjoy camping across country if you have your own camper, because even though the scenery is changing, the camper is familiar. The same with cruising - even though the ship is going to different places - the bed is the same. Some people are just more comfortable with the familiar. My husband preferred to stay at home all the time, too, but he loved cruising, and he loved Disney World. When I wanted to go to different places, I just started going without him. I took my son, went with a friend, etc. Funny, my husband's name was Charlie - I assume that Chuck's name is also Charles.

Yes it is Charles. What's funny is that I always talk about him as Chuck. However, I don't call him that when I'm talking to him. I call him Charlie or Charles (& it's not when I'm mad at him). If I call him Chuck when I'm actually talking to him, we both notice how weird it is. My dad picked up the Charlie and my mom picked up the Charles. His parents, my parents & I are the only ones that call him anything but Chuck.

Welcome back Gina! It's good to see you here! I'm a newbie to the DDA, not as a designer but you can call me an enabler. You've supplied me with some of your designs for DBF, Bob. Congrats on your marriage and move!

Tia - Glad to hear good things are coming out of the doctors visit. Phil's a lucky guy to have someone as great as you by him to help! P&PD to the whole family!

to you and to Chuck! I'm glad you feel you can talk to us about this. Hopefully, all your research will be worth it, and you'll get the DVC, the cruise, and maybe even a camper/trailer trip across the country. I hated camping and it took Alan almost 14 years to show me that it could be enjoyable. Hopefully, it will be the same for Chuck.

Vicki - I'm sorry you are feeling frustrated. You know you can come here and vent and we won't judge you. I hope you can work something out and still be able to enjoy your weekend/anniversary together. I'm sorry I don't have any advice/words of wisdom for you, but I just wanted to send you a

I hated camping and it took Alan almost 14 years to show me that it could be enjoyable. Hopefully, it will be the same for Chuck.

He loves to camp as long as we don't drive more than a couple of hours away from home. He doesn't like to be in the car for any kind of distance. He also doesn't handle new situations real well. I would have to do all the city driving for sure! Luckily, I don't mind. We'll see! I'm working on it. I got him to Disney which took years and he loves that. I have to introduce things a little at a time.
