I cannot wait for a new PTR, I'm sure DD will make the next trip the biggest one yet!!

Just a note:

DD AND I ARE GOING BACK TO DISNEY IN FEB, 2010!!!!!!!!

 

[disneydusted]

Woo Hoo!!!
That is very fun!!! New plans, new thoughts, new ADR's to make!!! Sounds great!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow Heidi that's fantastic

So where's that pre trippie?

 

[addictedtothemouse]

So does this mean that you're feeling better and things are under control?

Woo Hoo!!!
That is very fun!!! New plans, new thoughts, new ADR's to make!!! Sounds great!!

We've already been talking about ADR's!! What we want to avoid (buffets and Le Cellier) and what we really want (Ohana and Brown Derby -- two we've never been to before!).

Planning is so exciting!

Gotta get going with that! We are so happy!

So does this mean that you're feeling better and things are under control?

I am definitely feeling better and I am learning to control things a bit more -- what to avoid and what I can do to help myself. I have an appointment with a pulmonologist on the 6th, so I'm sure I'll get even more answers. Plus, I can ask him if I can go on thrill rides, because DD says NO!

I have my fingers crossed for a YES YOU CAN RIDE answer from the doctor. Just remember, even if it's no now...you have almost a year to turn that no to a yes and that frown upside down!

My daughter and I love thrill rides. As long as I don't feel like I'll fall out of them. But, it would be a good idea to talk to your Dr. about it. Everybody has their own triggers.

Long time no see, everyone! Hello to all friends old and new! I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been keeping up with each of you whether you knew it or not

A new Pre-Trip report is in the works because it has become official...

February 2010 will find us in Walt Disney World! For the past two years we've stayed at the lovely Port Orleans French Quarter, but now we've developed an aching for a new resort (oh, and an extreme budget ), and this place is very.....popular, shall we say? More details to come!

 

[disneydusted]

Hummmm, could it be Pop Century? I'm so glad you two have a trip in the works!!

 

[Disney Wanderer]

I Loved Pop Century Last year , 90s Building . A Lot Better than The All-star i Stayed in the year before. I TOO AM definatly Gong back Next year , Question is exactly When??. Illl Figure it out eventually .
I Wish you Guys well

I really am hoping that he will say yes. I see him every four weeks, so I have plenty of time to get much, much stronger. He started me on yet another new drug (11 pills or powders a day!!) and I think it is already working. I went for a short walk yesterday with DD and today I felt a weird feeling I haven't had in such a long time -- it was energy!! What a great feeling. I'm going to lie in the sun (plenty of sun screen!) to soak up some Vitamin D!

I am really keeping my fingers crossed! But of course, I'll always skip one of my favorites -- RockNRoller Coaster because it gives me a headache! But ToT and Everest are just the best!!!

Does the allergy season bother you guys? I'm still trying to understand and get used to everything -- to figure out what my own triggers are.

Hummmm, could it be Pop Century? I'm so glad you two have a trip in the works!!

I truly believe that by Feb, I will be feeling great!! I DEMAND IT!

Since we are renting a scooter off property that we can take everywhere with us (it folds and weighs nothing) we can stay at a huge resort and do so much more. Since this is our super budget trip (sooo much of our money was "blown" on doctor's and medicine) Pop will be great! We're looking forward to the food court and fun buildings. Hopefully 60's which is closer to everything, or the 70's, a decade I loved and one DD is interested in.





There's still a lot going on with my health and a lot of tests (CT Scan now every three months) but I am just feeling better than I have in months upon months! I'm excited again and this Disney trip is just what we need to look forward to!

I'll start the Pre-Trippie soon (DD and Sanapunk are being very secret in their planning!! Tricky girls!) although DD says wait until November, you all know me and I always have something to say!!!

I'll let you all know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Heidi I'm so pleased you're getting some energy back, don't over do it though

 

[AshleyMWC]

Yay, it is great to hear you are feeling better Heidi- and another Disney trip in the works to boot!!! I have been neglecting the Dis lately (darn wedding planning!!), but when I saw an update from you, I just had to say hello! Prayers to you that everything keeps going well

:

Allergies don't really bother us. For me it's stress, not getting enough sleep and catching a cold that gets into my chest. For DD it is a change in the weather. Those high and low pressure systems really mess her up. and over exertion for both of us.

 

[disneydusted]

Hi Heidi! I was so happy to see an update from you! I am glad you are feeling more energetic, keep doing what you are doing and get stronger.
So you're a 70's girl? I laugh when I think of the things I used to wear! I had a fringed vest that I wore in 4th grade that I thought was the most amazing thing! My bell bottom pants, fringed vest and tie dyed t shirt... totally cool! What was I thinking????

 

[SkyGirl]

Heidi I'm so pleased you're getting some energy back, don't over do it though

It has been wonderful being able to do "normal" things (although since it's me ... )!! We have been talking about our trip but right now we are focused on the Fleetwood Mac concert coming up next week! Sooo excited!

By the way, Jo, I forgot to mention that my wonderful specialist is English!! He sits a little odd, with his legs sorta wrapped around each other, but I love listening to him talk! (And since he's not an idiot, that makes it even better!!)

Thanks, Ashley! I'm so excited for you! I had such fun planning my wedding and it was the best party I've ever been to!

I'm learning a lot. Definitely stress is horrible! I never knew that did that but I sure do now! And I keep telling DD that more than likely I'll be going on the coasters!! Since adding the new med, Singular, I feel so much better.

I am definitely a 70's girl! It was such a strange time in history but so cool at the same time. The music was fantastic, the television shows were weird although I loved Mod Squad!

Your outfit from 4th grade sounds super cool! I had brown leather pants with a matching vest, bell bottoms, of course!

But I have to be honest -- I'm wearing all black and taking a fringe purse to the Mac concert!!! I might see Stevie and want her to be impressed!!

 

[disneydusted]

You crack me up!! I love your planned outfit for the concert!!
