We're Baaaaack!! **The WLV's groupies & Trivia Thread chapter 3

[DiznyDi]

Lots of Groupies headed to the World in these next few days. Safe travels to everyone and I hope to meet as many as possible at the meet.

Maria, I hope we can make our connection.

Loribell! Let me be the first to wish you a premature birthday greeting. Enjoy your special day!

 

[DiznyDi]

OK, so it's 4:30 in the AM Once again, sleep is eluding me: this always happens several days prior to departure.
My countdown ticker shows 20 hours to go. So much to do and so little time.
And here I sit surfing the Dis trying to get any last minute pointers that I may not have thought about or considered only to find that there are not too many Groupies up at this hour.
So when the sun comes up and you're sitting I want you all to have A Disney Day - and WildernessDad I mean this is the most sincere way! Let a Disney melody enter your thoughts and put a smile on your face as you go through your day.

Take care of yourself. My husband has been sick since Easter and we ended up in the ER Sunday night. Friday we were told he had bronchitis. Sunday night we found out he had a collapsed lung. I'm sitting in his hospital room right now, hopefully he goes home tomorrow after they take the chest tube out.

I won't ever ignore a bad cough again.

p.s. I' m already over 50 and DH gets there in August! I told him I had a 50 year warranty on him so I want a husband with a new body now that his is falling apart. Ha.

Ohhhh your poor DH. Hope he's feeling better soon!

Sleep eludes me too right before a trip, but not usually until the night before. Just knowing I have to get up at 4:00 a.m. is enough to keep me awake all night. I just keeping thinking what if the alarm doesn't go off? I'll miss my flight. I guess I better just keep waking myself up every 10 min.!

Can't believe we'll be there in 2 more days!!! I'm so excited. I think I'm in pretty good shape on the home front. Still have lots to do, but I'm mostly on track.

Hope you have a Disney day too DiznyDi!


HAPPY PRE-BIRTHDAY LORIBELL!!!

Wow, that is pretty serious that he had to get a chest tube! Your hubby and I are the same age! I have been more sick this last year than my entire life! They say if you can get past the 50's, its smooth sailing from there! Wishing him a fast recovery...

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

I hope that all the sick groupies are feeling better soon!

Good travels to everyone heading off to the world. I'm still sorry we'll be missing the get together. But we'll be right behind you all and are looking forward to our getaway.

I'm right there with you and DiznyDi on this one! It's the one night where I always set 2 alarms for the morning!

 

[Inkmahm]

I'll be there too! I promise not to cough on anyone and I'l bring the Moose Mix!



Oh my. Poor guy, I hope he is better soon.

It's funny. I saw a pulmonologist the day before I left for the cruise. So when I returned with my bad cough, I tried to get in so he could see my lungs in action. His nurse practitioner called to say they had no appointments and it was probably nothing without a fever. Boy was she surprised when she called me today to see how I was and I had gotten in to my regular doc's office with the pneumonia diagnosis.

Still be careful. We think my husband had the collapsed lung long before he got the bronchitis diagnosis and the regular doc just missed it. It was the ER nurse who noticed the difference in sounds between the two lungs and pointed it out to the ER doc. He didn't hear it any more than the first doc did.

Hopefully DH gets the chest tube out and comes come today.

Not just the chest tube, actually. That was just the start of it. He also had to have surgery to remove the weakened part of the lung and rough up the rest of it so that it will heal attached to the sac and won't be able to collapse again in the future.


Thanks for the good wishes and pixie dust, everyone. It's been a bad year medical wise so far. Mom had her fall and neck surgery in March (still has the collar on but hopefully not after next week.) DH had the lung issue and I have mouth surgery scheduled for me on Monday. I'll probably be sitting on the DIS most of Tuesday trying to forget my mouth is killing me. (I've had the surgery once before so I know what is coming...)

I think I'd rather be going with all of you to VWL... take me with? Please?

 

[MiaSRN62]

Maria, I hope we can make our connection.

DiznyDi ~

Yes....I do want to meet up. I ended up booking dinner at Sanaa for May 8 at 5:15 pm. If we decide to go to Epcot after our dinner (because you mentioned you're eating dinner in Germany), I'll let u know. We only have 3 days in WDW (we're doing 3 at VB too), so I know we want to see Epcot for F&G, but MK is our fav park, so I know I must fit time in there too. You have my cell....I have yours....we will def try and meet up. Maybe back at VWL when parks close ? Or on Sat before you leave ?


Sending very warm get-well wishes and warm thoughts to Muushka and Inkmahm's dh for quick recoveries.

Ink, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's illness. I hope that he recovers soon.

I had bronchitis last May and I have a little cough now, but I think that's from allergies. But I get that stuff, bronchitis, from time to time and it's not fun.

Does anyone know if the music is piped through to the balconies at the VWL?

 

[MiaSRN62]

Does anyone know if the music is piped through to the balconies at the VWL?

Gosh...good question. I've stayed at the Lodge/Villas several times. I don't believe so. I remember quiet peacefulness....maybe frogs croaking.....but no music.

Maria

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Anna114 - I don't know the answer to that either but I remember it being very quiet in there.

JT - Wonderful! Have a great time. Give Ranger Stan a big groupie hug.

WDWRR_ENGINEER - Woohoo!

 

[DisneyNutzy]

For all the groupies head to our home away from home have a great trip and don't forget to take lots of pictures of the groupie meet.

Never heard it in the Villas.

I get home from work today and what does Sid the squid hand me? A note from the school administrator saying 2 Jrs are being treated for "flu like" systems and test are being sent to the CDC. Please watch your kids for any signs of distress. Long list of symptoms follow.

Knowing my 'freakin kid, he decided to share soda, lunch and bathroom breaks with each and every one of these kids.

I'm turning in my mothers badge if this kid gets sick.

I'm turning in my mothers badge if this kid gets sick.

For you Eliza, hoping your son is just fine!

Also to our sick groupies! Feel better, and take care of yourselves!
