Update on our trip - not good news

[Mazzy]

Hi everyone

I've been away from the boards for a few weeks now as we had to cancel our trip for Xmas/New year and I just haven't felt like I could come on the boards without getting too upset about it.

As most of you know, we had to cancel last year because of sesamoiditis in my foot, but booked again for this Xmas thinking it would be better, which it isn'it. Nevertheless I was determined we wouldn't cancel again and had arranged to use a scooter around the parks.

All the plans came crashing down 3 weeks ago as I started getting awful burning pains and such sore feel I couldn't walk any distance without pain. I have been diagnosied with planter fasciitis but I'm not getting the 'standard' pains that you get with that so I have my doubts. This last week I have started getting hot pains down the side of one thight and in my lower back so in Jan I have to see a back specialist. I should mention I was born spina bifida but have had no problems apart from a bit of a weak back for the last 40 years, I have always been able to walk normally etc but now I'm terrified that something sinister is happening and am finding it hard to cope with the pain and the anxiety.

Sorry to go on so, but as I am at home I really do need something to keep me occupied and even though we don't know what the future holds and when we might actually get to WDW, I think if I can keep in touch with the community board on the DIS it may help me keep thinking positive. I was pushed round Mark's and Spencer's yesterday in a wheelchair and it was surreal to say the least and I felt very vulnerable and sad for my children if that is the future for me.

Thanks to Annie (Mrs Dazzle) for keeping in touch, I do appreciate it and it does help.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families and best wishes for the New Year.

........dear Mazzy, reading your post brought tears to my eyes. I feel so much for you, knowing how hard you've tried to get on top of this painful condition.

Keep fighting, but maybe using a wheelchair will aid improvement in your condition, so whilst you are fighting this please try to stay positive...... as difficult as that might be sometimes.

Keep rested and have a Happy Christmas and we all hope that the New Year will be a better one for you.

So sorry to hear your problems Mazzy and of course it always seems worse at this time of year. I can't believe the docs won't get you sorted out so you CAN enjoy a trip to our favourite place in the not-too-distant future. Stick with it and just remember that we will all be thinking of you.

best wishes,

Simon

I can't offer any help or support to your dilema but just wanted you to know I'm thinkin of you and hope you'll find peace in yerself this Christmas and start again with new found hope and belief that you WILL get through this in 2003.

Let's just earmark 2003/2004 as the time for your Trip Report. Now THAT'S a report I'll look forward to.

Love and Best Wishes,

Oh no, poor you. It was bad enough cancelling last year's trip but to have to do it a second time is flipping awful.

I do hope the doctors can get you sorted as soon as possible and fingers (and toes) crossed that it's something that can be done quickly and painlessly.

Look after yourself, have a good Christmas and look forward to a hols at WDW in the not too distant future when you can walk about pain free.

Take care,

Love, Astrid x

We've been back on the boards a little bit over the last few weeks and had wondered how things were with you.

I'm sorry to hear about your plans being cancelled yet again. I wish I could offer words of advice or something that might help.

We're thinking of you and wish you well in the New Year.

Best Regards


Terry and Janet

Mazzy I am so sorry that you are still in a great deal of pain with your injury, and that you have had to cancel your trip again.

I sincerely hope that things improve for you in the new year, that treatment can be sorted out for you and that you will be able to look forward and maybe get something else booked in the not too distant future.

Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a better New Year for you - and dont forget, we are all here if you need us

Hi Mazzy! I've been away over Christmas and am only just catching up, so hadn't seen this earlier.

I'm so sorry to hear that your plans have been changed again . I can only imagine how disappointed you must be to have to rethink things again, but I know your main concern at the moment is to get your walking problem properly diagnosed and treated.

I wish you all the very best for the New Year, and hope you'll feel able to come and 'talk' here on DIS as much as you like.

I was so sorry to see that you have been in so much pain due to your condition and that you had to cancel your trip

I'm sure that 2003 will bring you and your family lots of good fortune for the future.

Can I also say thank you so much for all the tips you gave me for my stay at the Swan it wouldn't have been the same holiday without them and I hope I can return the favour some day.

Big {{{hugs}}}
