The Willy's head to Walt's World..again!!! 5/18: TR Started!!

For those of you who read my previous posts about my BIL, here is an update.

He did break 2 verts, one in his neck and one in his back. He also broke his foot in a couple of places, but doesn't require any surgery, which is amazing. He was able to sit up with the help of his bed today to eat. He'll be in the hospital for quite a while and it should take over a year to heal. They are not releasing him until he starts physical therapy and goes through detox. He has also started seeing an addiction specialist. All good news, so far. The bad news is he's in some serious trouble. He was high as a kite when the accident happened. Once he is discharged, he will be arrested and we'll have to wait and see. He was living with one of his drug friends so this weekend Mike and 2 of his BIL's went over and moved all of his stuff from there to my MIL's. I hate that my MIL has to take care of him, but it is what's best for him. I guess all we can do is wait and see if he'll finally turn his life around. Keep your fingers crossed!

Looks like I have someone else to keep in my prayers. I really hope detox does him well and he has learned something from this situation. Its amazing he wasn't paralyzed...his nerves must like him a lot. Hopefully things get better soon!! Just so you know (and let DH know) there IS hope. I hate to get all mushy and sentimental...but one of my closest friends has been clean and sober for 2 years now (it was 2 years on the 3rd). She was REALLY bad on drugs and I mean hardcore drugs to the point that she disappeared for several months and her family didn't know where she was. She ended up missing out on her daughter's entire first year of life. Now, Sarah is the most bubbly outgoing amazing person I know. She has been an inspiration to me He CAN get better and hopefully he wants to for your family's sake as well as his.

He will definitely continue to be in my prayers, along with the whole family. Thank the Lord he wasn't paralyzed!! That's wonderful that he has so much support from both of you, his mother and the hospital staff. I always find comfort in knowing that God has a plan. He already knows what will happen and He doesn't give us more than we can handle.

Here is a glimpse of my Disney planning spreadsheet. I have used the park hours for the last week of April since there are no May hours yet.

The red days are Magic Kingdom. I guess that doesn't show up too well!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I am in awe of your spreadsheet!! I so need to make myself one of those!

 

[MaryAz]

That spreadsheet is amazing. I need to do one. I am just not a huge fan of excel. Wow, very impressive.

Thanks! My DH thinks I'm a nut! Well, maybe I am a little!!


OMG! I was just checking on our flights, like I do about 5x a day (paranoid much!) and the cost of our flight went up significantly. As you previously read, we booked our flights for $367.50 total for the three of us. If I booked today, it would cost $843.60! WOW!!

 

[ScotsMinnie]

Thank God I am not the only one who makes spreadsheets!!! I love yours!! So colourful!

 

[Villainess]

Woo Hoo! Another spreadsheet planner!!! Although mine is not colorful!


On a serious note, my prayers are with BIL, and esp. your DH and MIL. I hope he will get the help he needs.

 

[tinkgurl]

That spreadsheet is so cool! I haven't seen one of those before.

Well, I'm off to see the Geek Squad tomorrow. My computer has crashed, yet again! The hard drive has been making some crackling noises and it refuses to boot. The sad thing is, it's only a little over a year old. It was my Mom's laptop before she passed away. I know she just bought it before last Christmas. Stoopid Computer!


On the bright side, I did order my luggage today. I decided on the large rolling duffle and the wheeled backpack. They have both shipped already and should be here by the end of the week!

an I picked up this little travel wallet

 

[MaryAz]

So sorry about the computer. Yay for the cute luggage!! Love it!

Just started reading your PTR! Good luck getting your computer fixed! Your spreadsheet is amazing. I thought I was a good Disney planner, but you've put me to shame. I am excited about starting my PTR for Dec 09, but for now I am just reading PTRs to try and get the lay of the land.

Subbing!

Love the pictures! We are heading to WDW May 16-23. I too have a spreadsheet and a husband who thinks I'm obsessed...

Keep the updates coming! I'm really enjoying your report.

 

[BridetobeDisney]

I love the spreadsheet!! I've got to make one too. I'll probably wait until hours and ADRs are finalized. I just love the luggage and the wallet is so cute!!

Sorry your computer crashed. May I ask what kind it is? My brand new (2 month old) HP pavilion laptop is acting funny. The taskbar disappeared last night and I couldn't shut off my computer. I held down the power button and it wouldn't even shut down completely. It kept going to a stand by mode. It finally worked and rebooted this morning and the taskbar just showed up again. Figures!

Thanks for the prayers, unfortunatly, I think he's beyond prayers

Stupid computer! It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't addicted to the DIS!

Luggage should be here Friday, I'm totally excited! I even have a few things ready to pack...3 months early!

Hi! Thanks for joining! can't wait to read about your plans!

Thanks for reading! We'll be leaving as you are arriving, but I don't even want to think about leaving WDW !

 

[wlwilliams9]

Well, I took my laptop "Bruce" to the doctor today and they admitted him immediatly. Bruce won't be seen or diagnosed until Friday. I'm stuck using Mike's laptop or our desktop until then. Hopefully, the diagnosis won't be too bad, or too expensive!

I'm working on getting some of our wedding and honeymoon pics downloaded to add to my PTR. I figured since this is an anniversary trip, wedding & hm pics are appropriate! Oh, Tahiti, when will we meet again?

Am I the only one who really wants cake right now? Maybe I should turn off the Food Network! MMMmmmmm, Cake!!

 

[jewels1916]

Awe...poor Bruce! Good luck with the diagnosis! I'd be sick without my laptop! Hm....you've mentioned cake and suddenly my morning toast doesn't look so appetizing.......

 

[MaryAz]

Ah, poor Bruce. Step away from the Food Network. Ace of Cakes-yum!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Ace of Cakes-yum!!

I want a cake from there so bad!
