So sorry rinky!!! Yikes and right before your diz trip, what stinky timing!!!
Hubby had the gall bladder issues a few yrs ago, NOT fun!!! He ended up having it removed and that ended those horrible attacks. pixie dust
going your way for a happy disney trip. Fingers and toes crossed tight for you that the tummy problems stay away!!
Thank you! I sure hope I don't need surgery. So far, all is well. Let's hope that continues!!
It's good to see you posting Rinky! I'm sorry to hear that you're having gallbladder problems. I'll definitely say a prayer that the problem does not flare up while you are on the cruise.
Thank you so much! I'll take every prayer I can get! So far I haven't had any attacks since last week, but I have been eating very little and very bland stuff. Not sure what's going to happen when we start eating on the road.
Oh, you poor thing! I had my gallbladder out last December so understand what you are going through. Not fun at all. (((hugs))) I hope your trip goes just fine. I will say good health prayers for you Rinky. Right around the corner for both of us! So excited!!
Since I've had this problem I have heard of so many people who have the same issues or have had their GB removed. It seems to be a very common problem. I'm sorry you had to go through all this too. Thank you for the prayers!
Oh no! I am sorry you are not feeling well. Try not to stress too much while you are away, you don't want to be stressed out on vacation! I will say a prayer that all goes well for you and you have an amazing time!
Thank you so much! I'm trying not to stress but it's hard. It's the cruise that worries me most. I know I can get to a medical center while at Disney (although I certainly don't want that either), but there is NOTHING at
Castaway Cay except sand and water! They have a doctor on the ship, but I'm not sure exactly how much medical help they can offer in an emergency. At least it's only 3 nights. I would be freaking out if it was a week long cruise! And it will be at the end of the trip so hopefully by the time we board, I'll already know if the food is bothering me.
and prayers that you feel well on your trip and have no emergencies! I hear a lot of people have gall bladder problems - I wonder what it is that we are all doing/eating?
I have decided I won't finish my TR either before this trip. I was going to race through the last 5 days in London - but there's way too many pictures and stuff. So I have made the executive decision to set it aside until after we get back! Too many other things to do in the meantime!
Feel better okay?
Oh - and having a verandah on the cruise - best.thing.ever!!!! We loved it and I can't wait to have it for Alaska next summer!
I have no idea what causes all the GB problems. I sure wish I knew.
I feel like everything I eat is a gamble!
I know what you mean on the TR. I feel so overwhlemed with all I have going on right now and I just have had NO Dis time at all. I have missed it sooooo much. I'm in the process of 'rearranging' some things in my life right now to try to have a better balance. We'll see how that goes. I'm glad you are going to wait to finish your TR too b/c I am so far behind! I'd love to be able to get caught up before you finish. I may be dreaming though.
I am really looking forward to the verandah. I hope it makes a big difference for me because our last cruise was not 'ideal'. This is sort of a 'do-over' cruise for me. I'd love to do the 7 night Eastern Car. cruise but not until I see that I can handle cruising better than I did last time. I'm really counting on that veranda!
Ohhhh, Alaska! That is on my list too! It is so expensive for us though b/c the airfare is so high to go across the country. We REALLY want to do that one though. I think the water might be a lot calmer too since so much of the route is weaving in and out of those little islands. I would think it would break up the waves and make for a smoother sailing. You'll have to let me know about that.
Oh no! My mom is having issues too and just had gallbladder tests done. They told it has no stones, but they can take it out if she wishes, but it doesn't "need" to come out. She said if it came out it would have to be done immediately as we leave for our trip in 4 weeks too.
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. I sure hope things go well for her too. I'll say some prayers for her while I'm praying for myself!
I know she must be feeling just like me and worried about it acting up while on the cruise.
Prayers for you Rinky!! I sure hope you are feeling better very soon and don't have any issues while on vacation . 
Shelly! I've missed you friend! Thank you for the well wishes. I really appreciate it. I hope things go well too because if they don't, I'm swearing off cruising forever!
I hope all is well with you and your family. Looks like you made the right choice to go in December b/c TT and the new FL should both be open for your trip. We will be missing it.
Wow, that's surprising! When my husband had the gallbladder issues(no stones) he was told if it didn't come out he would continue to have problems, they were right. Gallbladder gone and so are the tummy issues!!!! Hope your mom stays pain free at diz and can enjoy the yummy foods!! enjoy your trip!
They told me the same thing, that it didn't 'have' to come out (right now). But it could get worse and need to at some point. It may actually be a blessing in disguise for me b/c I lost 15 pounds back in the spring and then completely fell off the wagon during my very stressful summer!
I'd had a hard time getting back on track, but this took care of that problem! I've eaten so little that I have lost another 5 pounds just this past week, so now I'm up to 20 that I've lost. If I keep on like this, I'll be thin again!
I like the idea of that, but wish it didn't come about
this way!
I'm sure if you PM Brook, Dawn, and some others, they will be happy to help you decide. Some of these girls have other jobs, too, so that can be done, and some are SAHM's who do this only. I think they get some great opportunities for travel through the job. I don't know how much, if any, it lessens the thirst for Disney things when it becomes a job. I'll be interested to hear the responses from those who truly know.
Oh and I think that is the PERFECT retirement plan for you!!! 
I feel bad when someone doesn't like Pop or anything Disney, basically, as I feel like I have some kind of ownership in the place, or something. 
I'm the same way. If I suggest that someone goes and then they don't like it, I feel bad.... and a little irritated too!
