The DIS Dad's Club XII: Oh... There You Are Perry!

[DisneyFed]

Apparently, if you were stupid enough not to cancel your Air Canada reservation today (in anticipation of the strike that didn't happen), you might have ended up in an empty Beechcraft 1900D, and if you happened to call "shotgun", they might have let you have it...

So was it backwoods "Bush" flyin' or what?

And congratulations to my DS, Jack, who's excitement over the phone when he called to tell me tonight about passing his Board of Review and reaching the 2nd Class Scout brought tears to my eyes!

very nice ride doc! congrats to jack!!!

OK....what was supposed to be a nice pleasant uneventful evening turned into drama....

My 2 year old decided she wanted to touch the shiny exhaust pipe on my wife's car! Blistered thumb later, she's miserable and hard to console. Cold water/compresses....tylenol....

Ahhh....the joys of parenthood!

i hope shes feeling better. oooch!

More news on the positive side. We got back from the Doctor a little while ago. We waited about 45 minutes and they then spent about an hour with her. First the attending who saw her in the ER and then the staff doctor. He is also head of the department. Both were really thorough with great "bedside" manners.

They decided to hold off on the lumbar puncture. I think they said that it was the sixth optical nerve that is causing the problem. It prevents her from turning her right eye to the right. They said there was no chance of damaging it further, and should get better with time. If it doesn't, surgery is a possibility. They won't even think about that route for six months.

In the meantime, glasses were ruled out because it wouldn't help. She needs to wear an eye patch to counteract the double vision. She is not happy with going back to school wearing a patch so he suggested sunglasses with frosted scotch tape on the inside. She still wasn't happy. It didn't help that I keep making pirate jokes. That and the doctor said cosmetic issues were not something to consider. We go back in four weeks. Hopefully it will be better by then.

Trying to get her to look on the bright side, at least she is partway to her halloween costume. For some reason she doesn't think that is funny either.

Hope she gets better soon, Prayers going out

Thanks, Randall!

Very Cool although you would never get me in a plane

now that the anaesthesia has worn off, i am checking in to say hello.

my surgery that was put off earlier this month took place yesterday. the doc said the cyst was huge, but he was able to remove all of it. on top of that they confirmed it was benign. I had to have my ear drum reconstructed and a prosthesis inserted behind it to replace the small bones that were destroyed. I should have a better idea of how my hearing will be out of that ear in 3-4 weeks.

hope you all are doing well.

Hope you feel better soon and the opp was a complete success

And congratulations to my DS, Jack, who's excitement over the phone when he called to tell me tonight about passing his Board of Review and reaching the 2nd Class Scout brought tears to my eyes!

Congratulations that quite a achivement

Fed hope your ankle is feeling better The things you will do just to go fishing

No kidding...I've flown backwoods in Canada to fishing lodges before...and the words...Holy **** were mentioned on more than one occasion!

Fed hope your ankle is feeling better The things you will do just to go fishing

There has to be a much less painful way....I'm really hurting, but the Vicodin dreams are freaking off the hook

I've had several similar operations on each of my ears due to cholesteatoma. Did they have to cut behind the ear to go in? I have so much scar tissue that I've only got about 50% hearing on each side but I do just fine with hearing aids. Let me know if you have any questions.

jm - are you and Dave meeting up at WDW

 

[baseballmickey]

I have some good news to share over in my PTR. Consider this a shameless plug.

Congrats!

Well, as some of you know from Facebook, Ole DF went and broke his ankle on Sunday in a soccer match...man, I'm HURTING!! I've forgotten how bad these kind of things hurt

OH well, at least it happened AFTER my WDW trip and not BEFORE!

Sorry to hear about your ankle!

So have you guys seen the latest news?

http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/09/avatar-coming-to-disney-parks/

Still processing this one. Adding a new "land" to the Animal Kingdom was part of Disney's plan from the beginning. Originally it was supposed to be the Beastly Kingdom and focus on mythical creatures. So making it like Avatar kinda fits with that.

I was kind of "meh" on the movie, but the visuals and special effects were amazing, and could make for an incredible theme park experience. As long as I don't have to cheer for the extermination of my own species.

So what do you guys think?

Gonna reserve judgment on this until I see more of what they plan to do with it. I have to admit that I am excited that my name might be up in big letters at WDW!! It's been kinda cool to see my name being brought up here on the DIS!

ok, were back from philly. here we go. the little spot is still there. the spot has some inflamation around it. meaning, doctors feel it is not a new tumor but a result of the stereotactic radiation. which is common. hes not to concerned about it but is going to watch it. if she gets any pain or trouble, they can put her on steroids but he doesnt want to do that unless she has problems. we go back nov. 14th for another mri and to see him again. so, in the range of. oops, spot on the film to brain tumor we have to go in and get it today, i think we got half decent news. it seems he remembers us as the disney family and is a fan himself. so, we are taking at good news. thanks for all the prayers,textes, concerns over that last few days!!!! he said go to disney world and have a great time!!!!

Glad to hear it! I hope there's nothing but more good news in the future!

Hoping for the best! maybe if you got her a diamond-encrusted eye patch, it would go over better?

OUCH! when I was a kid I stuck my finger in the cigarette lighter of the car.

I've had several similar operations on each of my ears due to cholesteatoma. Did they have to cut behind the ear to go in? I have so much scar tissue that I've only got about 50% hearing on each side but I do just fine with hearing aids. Let me know if you have any questions.

cholesteatoma was what they called mine as well. He said I probably had it for years. Yes, I have a nice crescent-shaped incision behind my ear where they went in. So far I've managed to avoid the Vicodin. DW goes back to work tomorrow, and I'll be home with the kids, so the last thing I want is to be doped up. I guess we'll see in a few weeks how the hearing is... but as far as DW is concerned, I can't hear a thing!

Morning guys

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

Dave, hope everything went well at the Doc today

You know I was just thinking, I'm on vacation next week, when you leave your house just swing by and pick me up, I got enough HP's to get me through the parks for the week

Hit Points?

 

[cj9200]

Morning Guys. The kid is back in school today, eye patch and all. Arrrrg.

Chris, cool ride. I don't imagine they let you take over did they? I took the Miami-Key West Seaplane once although did not get shotgun. It was pretty cool taking off and landing in water.

 

[Disney Commando]

Hit Points?

That's a good one, but it is Hopper Passes

OK, yelling shotgun is one thing. Please tell me you didn't answer the phone and yell HI JACK!

Awesome news though, way to go Jack!

Mrs. Fed came in and found him on the couch waving his arms up and down pretending he was one of the small world singers.

 

[scott2997]
