Staff said he was very quiet all day today. They took his mittens off but still have him tethered as they are running out of places to stick the IV when he keeps ripping them out. They got his heart rate down and stable for almost a day and then it just bounced up again. The board in his room says his Target Day to go home is tomorrow but it might just have been to get him to stop asking. We didn't get any updates today. Weekend. Plus the Doc's are all tired from being woken up 4x each night. We shall see tomorrow.

Glad to hear your pop, and everyone else, had a relatively calm day.
At one point, after my pop had already been home for a little while after his bypass surgery, his blood pressure kept spiking and they couldn't figure out how to get it down. Apparently, they finally properly dialed in the meds and he hasn't had a problem since. Hopefully, there is something they can deduce from the time it was down that worked, and they can make it happen again, and keep it that way. Hope his heart rate goes down and things improve from here on out.
Continued prayers...

Zootopia was great (absolutely hysterical; I laughed my way through it), and like a typical almost-21-year-old, I just got in. My friend (who is one of my best friends, but I don't get to see all the time because she lives two counties over) and I were talking for about two hours after the movie. The movie's issues sparked some really deep conversations between us about racial issues. Nice to have a friend with whom you can have deep conversations, but no one gets mad if you disagree.

Also, I liked Judy Hopps, but Nick Wilde is my favorite. I might take my brother to see it again this week because I enjoyed the movie so much. The amount of Frozen references in that movie is hilarious as well.

Note: the spoiler contains a major plot point and some other stuff, so unless you've seen the movie, you should highlight and quote part of this post or tag me if you want to respond; otherwise, you'll risk seeing a spoiler.

Like, "This isn't some animated movie where everyone sings and it turns out all happy at the end. So...let it go." :hilarious:

And "It's not "Wesselton" it's "Weaselton":hilarious: My friend somehow missed that. I was laughing my head off.

And the naturalist club and then the speeding sloth at the end.:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

I also was thinking halfway through that Nick Wilde would be a good partner for Judy. And then that's how it ended. So cute. This is one film I'd really like a sequel for just so we can see more of Nick and Judy as partners on the police force.

Tommy Chong's character was hillarious.

Overall, it was a fantastic movie, better than I was expecting. Just absolutely perfect. Cannot find a thing wrong with it or that I wish were different.

Also, I think this dog is really confused because her owners are morning people and I'm...not. Last night, I stayed up until 1:30 am. I let her out this morning at 8:45 (the time changed; the dog has no idea it wasn't 7:30. The husband says she must be let out at 7:30. Not 7:32, not 7:28.:rolleyes: The wife says she can be let out between 7:30 and 8:30. She actually waited for her husband to walk out the door before telling me that.:hilarious:) then I went back to bed. Now it's after midnight and I'm still up after getting back just a little while ago (I spent the afternoon with her instead of the evening). She's pretty confused.:joyfull:

I'd rather take the bus. If you have to drive to POR, Ferry to Disney Springs and transfer to the Red Route that could take so much longer than lunch. I'd grab the bus and get on Red Route and be done. (I think it is the Red Route, double check that)

Yea, I was just thinkin' about how bad the street traffic was around there because of all the construction.
@betty rose said it was really bad when they were there, and they were stuck in it on a bus for quite a while.
When we were there a few weeks ago (at ASMusic), we spent our last morning and early afternoon at DSprings. Our bus driver took us around the back side (Saratoga Springs) down a bunch of little 2-lane roads, and around to the Marketplace bus stop. It definitely took longer than the usual route, but, we were never caught in any really heavy traffic.

Okay I have a Disney Springs questions for you all and @betty rose you might be able to help me the most. So my dad is going to meet me for lunch next Sunday. He feels comfortable driving to my resort (all star sports) so I thought we would go to Disney Springs via resort bus. He is in his mid 70's and his knees are really bad and he says he doesn't want to do a lot of walking. I have a reservation for Raglan Road but I'm wondering if that is too far for him to walk from the bus stop. My question: are there any decent benches or spots for him to rest along the walk. I see on the map that the bridge is open, are there any benches there?

I suppose I could drive his truck to a resort and that might lessen the walking for him but I don't like driving around WDW (that is why I don't rent a car). I just thought Disney Springs would give us a little more to do, like visit the gelato place.

I just looked at the map again...is there only one bus stop (by the Christmas store) or another bus stop by La Nouba? If there was one by La Nouba that would be a short walk to the House of Blues.

There is still only one bus stop, over by Marketplace, and it is quite a hike to get over to the other side. He might be better off driving and parking in the garage over at that end.

Yes, there are plenty of places to sit. My younger brother doesn't like gift shops; he always manages to find a spot to sit. Not a ton of benches, but a lot of walls.

My mother has told me before that myself and my 2 younger brothers were easier to raise than my 12-year-younger sis. I asked her "How's that? :confused:"
Keep in mind, I graduated HS the year she started Kindergarten, so I wasn't living at home during her later childhood or teen years. Also, my sister never got into any trouble, had great grades, was in choir, and was the only one of us 4 kiddos to ever earn a 4-year college degree.
Anyway, mom said it was because of all the "stuff" that just goes along with raising a girl. Plus, they let her get a bit spoiled, so she was also a bit of a drama queen at times during those years. As I said, I wasn't living at home at the time (although I visited frequently), so I missed a good majority of all of that.
Us boys were kinda' rambunctious, of course, at times, but, mom also said we were just kinda' free spirits that were very low maintenance and easy to raise, for the most part.
It's funny, because once sis got through those years, she is now one of the most wonderful people you could ever meet. She has 3 children of her own now. She is warm, caring, compasionate, humble, etc., etc., etc.
Ultimately, there are so many variables that make every family dynamic different.
Do y'all's best, they'll be fine...! :)

Granted, we're not in the teen years yet, but so far, my daughter is WAY easier than my son. I don't have to get on her much at all, her teachers love her, she's got the best grades in her class, I don't have to remind her to do homework if she has any...she WANTS to do it. And she is a smiley, happy girl. My son gets great grades at school, but he has emotional issues that make him harder to deal with. He's behind developmentally, so things like empathy haven't really developed yet and he still thinks that "fair" is him getting whatever he wants and he has meltdowns when things don't go the way he thought they would, though he is SO much better about that now than he was even a year ago. He's getting there, and he can be really funny and smart...I just have to do a lot more parenting with him than I do with DD...she pretty much parents herself.
