This thread is quiet.
Well my ds and his gf had a good trip he said. They did so much, not like dh and I who were like two old snails.
The weather was so so. We got beyond soaked the first day, actually night. Twice we were just about to go swimming and they closed the pool due to the incoming storms and thunder. We didnt even see Wishes. I did walk alot. Dh pushed me about half the time when I was tired or not breathing well.
I wanted to try Skippers Canteen but we didnt make it, oh well. The food was ok. Liked the new Trattoria al Forno. The topiaries were really nice. Our room at the Swan had a nice view and balcony. At the Yacht Club our room was of a bunch of tree leaves and branches and the parking lot and disney busses were n the other side, so unromantic. I know dh said it was our anniv. when he booked the room. The Yacht Club rooms need some serious rehab which is scheduled I think. The Swan is always now my favorite hotel. Good for our budget and nice view, service, location etc. The deluxe hotels even with a discount are getting to be so overpriced and not a good value at all. We did get to swim in Storm Along Bay twice. So much fun.
People were asking us where the friendship boats go and how much they cost, lol, dont you just love newbies.
We went through 30 bottles of water and 4 powerades, boy was it hot!! So much humidity.
I will try and do a dining report.
Most annoying things - telling them I am not taking the wheelchair into the rest. but then they try seating us at some table in Neverland. sigh. A few times dh told them to seat us closer etc. One annoying server who couldnt get the hint that we just didnt feel like chit chatting with him. Delayed flight going home and the tsa in Orlando not waiting for me to get out of the wheelchair so they decide to do a pat down in the wheelchair. I am crying and telling the lady not to touch me etc. the pain just shoots through me up my neck and spine to my head etc. She says I can take you to a private room. I say let me walk through the metal detector. She says no you are on the other side and I cant take you back there, um she was the one who took me there in the first place and was bossing dh around. I told her whatever you have to do then just get it over with and do it right here in public where everyone can see it. I wanted witnesses in case I turned into one of those horror stories I have heard about. She only patted me down in the wheelchair after she got her male supervisor who stood next to her the whole time. and wouldnt let dh near me.
Oh and to add to it, the night before I was bending over in the wheelchair to put up the foot rest and I heard/felt something pop by my left rib. Of course I am crying in pain, cant do anything. Ds said he thought I must have pulled the muscle. Took tons of tylenol, not helping. still being careful not to bend etc. So not fun and now that I am home and dont want to go to the dr. either, but if it gets worse. I hope I havent pulled the stitches etc. that are part of my stomach mesh because it is a huge thing, like a basketball size the surgeon had said and its anchored in certain places, hope this is not one of them. I also had some surgery by one of those ribs anyway and am missing some cartilage so maybe that just aggravates the situation. Also one night I had some serious gastro issues. Ugh. this is to be expected I guess since she took my one med away. No ppi means trouble at times.
Ds2 got to have an interview where dh works, so we will see if anything becomes of it.
Well check in when you can. Hope everyone is doing well.
