Nothing worse than expecting to be checking into your hotel in DisneyWorld today but coming home instead.
This was our 30th Anniversary trip and the first trip without our 2 daughters.
A few days ago my wife woke up with pain in her right hand and 3 numb fingers.
She went to an orthopedic Dr who told her she had carpal tunnel. He said she would most likely need surgery. She told him we were going to Disney in a few days, so he gave her a cortisone shot and told her she should feel better in a day or two.
She was taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock for pain.
We drove from NY Saturday morning and got to Roanoke Rapids NC. The pain in her hand got much worse and would come and go (She was crying from the pain and my wife has been through a lot and has had a lot of surgeries and can handle pain pretty well).
She called her dr trying to see if he could call in a pain killer but he said he couldn’t call in a narcotic in another state.
We planned on staying over in Florence SC but I didn’t want to drive another 2 1/2 hours if we might not go to Disney. We got a hotel and talked about what to do. She really wanted to go and felt bad for me if we didn’t go. I told her I didn’t mind canceling and that she wouldn’t have a good time if she was in constant pain and numbness. She’s a rightie so she couldn’t use her right hand. She said what if the shot starts working tomorrow then I’ll feel better. I told her there’s no guarantee the shot will help tomorrow or even this week and you can’t count on that. She also has high blood pressure and the Motrin was raising it a lot.
I convinced her it wasn’t worth it to risk her health to go and spend all that money and be miserable. She agreed and I called Disney and got a very nice woman who refunded us all of our money plus the $200 deposit. And this was the night before we were supposed to check in.
So, now we are looking at the first week in October to go back.
Has anyone gone that time and is it a good time to go crowd and weather wise ?
Are there any deals during October?
Thanks
