Oh my. Sympathy like.
Sending prayers for minimal pain and a speedy recovery for him.

Thanks, we both want the stress to be gone. And recovery is only a week or two.

 

[betty rose]

Weeeeeee...!
Yep, they could brew their own and call it "McBrewski"...!
"Supersize mine, please!"

Hubby's too!

I'm the opposite, I love Tower of Terror, way over any roller coasters. I have my back to consider though. I love the feeling of being suspended in space, if only briefly. I stayed away fro TofT for many years. Just tried it a couple years ago. And I fell in love.

I love the weightless feeling too!
There's a coaster at Sea World San Antonio called the Steel Eel that you actually might like. No inversions, and relatively tame (to me anyway ), but LOTS of "air time"...

 

[betty rose]

Well, I most likely couldn't do it anyway, given my motion sickness, but DD turns 10 in a month...so she's still pretty young and she's only really ever been on one roller coaster before. I'll let her make the decisions about what she wants to try though. If she says she wants to do it, she absolutely can, but I kind of doubt she'll want to. Thanks for the info! I'll let her know.

Our youngest grand son started riding Tower of Terror, when he was tall enough. He loves it. The oldest , not so much. The oldest loves RnRc , the youngest not so much. I don't do inversion rides anymore . Loved them as a kid though. The ferris wheel that turned upside down, as you went around. So fun.

We went to the x-ray place. Looked at the x-ray. It's going to be surgery. We meet with the Doctor this afternoon.

Thanks so much. The bunny rabbits ate my tulips to the ground.

Double sympathy like. I hope he can line everything up quickly and the surgery goes easy on him. Prayers and pixie dust

 

[Figgy1]

That's one lucky person. We are going to have more rain with snow at the end of the week!

oops triple sympathies. groundhog stew?

That's downright gorgeous!

Thanks, all this time has been hard on him. He just wants this over. And no more beer. Cranberry juice is not for him either, he has calcium oxalate stones, and cranberry juice causes them to form.

My DD is 5 years younger than my DS and she tended not to listen to him either and often justifiably. I actually never put either one of them in charge, it sets up problems.

This doesn't work because the youngest is more assertive, than the older. And the younger likes to skirt the "rules". The oldest has a strong sense of what is right or wrong. A classic clash.

Dudley is great but not if you have neck or back problems. Whips your head back like whiplash.

I'm out.

 

[betty rose]

I honestly think that MOST rides at UNI and IOA are bad for neck and back.
Transformers, Spiderman, Forbidden Journey and Gringotts all shake you everywhere... a lot others are coasters..
Others have some sort of spinning that can get you twist if you're not sitting correctly..etc.. :O

City Walk is looking better and better for me!

My brother listens to me when no one else is around. If one of my parents is around, he won't listen. If it's just us, he obeys without question. Which benefits us because we can go off and do things on our own in WDW (and likely DL as well this time) while our parents get some time without us. Though my mom always says when we're off on our own, she feels like she's missing a couple of appendages.

My parents have always said to him that if he wants to do stuff with just me, he has to behave. He knows if he doesn't listen, he doesn't get to go places with me. I also don't boss him around unnecessarily, which is probably a problem older siblings have with younger siblings. The majority of the time, his behavior is fine and I don't need to tell him what to do. We'll go long periods without talking to one another, which we're both usually content with. And then other times he won't shut up. It's funny because when he rides with my parents, he sits in the back and doesn't want to talk to them. With me, he sits in the front and I sometimes think to myself, "Does he ever shut up?"

Funny story: we were home by ourselves a few weeks ago. I think I asked him to help with the laundry or the dishes or something, and he got upset and whacked me on the head. Not hard really, it didn't hurt, and he apologized five minutes later (sincerely, on his own) so I told him that I wasn't going to tell our parents about it. They walked in the door and it was the first thing he told them, and they took away his computer for the evening. I'm not sure whether him turning himself in is a good thing or a bad thing...

That's a good thing, he probably felt bad about it and wanted to remove his guilt.

So you won't "enjoy" your 200 ft drop any time soon?

My blood pressure went up, just watching this.

 

[betty rose]

oops triple sympathies. groundhog stew?

I'm going for the kill, and just leave beside the road. It's what he deserves!

 

[betty rose]

Time to fix lunch, and get ready for the Doctor.

I love that weightless feeling. And the suspense of the drop is exciting too. There is a lot to love about TOT.

There sure is!

We are back from the Doctor, surgery is scheduled for 6 A.M. Wednesday morning. It will take all day. Surgery, forms, talking with the surgeon, and the rest of the team. Surgery, and recovery. I will be able to bring him home at the end of the day, if all goes well. I'm sure it will be fine. A long day for him, and me in the waiting room. DD has other commitments.

 

[betty rose]

I'm tired. We both are. So glad this will be behind us, for Disney.
