Roller ... aka Ed

http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/10531-mama-aka-oldekoot/?p=299856 is a little pro/con from our trip to DL

And the radiologist report is in ... and doesn't sound good:

Impression:
No significant change. Persistently visible fracture line with minimal distraction at the proximal metaphysis of the fifth metatarsal.

In other words - It's still fractured and hasn't healed much in over 5 months.

The Doctor's Notes don't say what he told me, either. Now I can use a shoe WITH the Walker; I'm supposed to be mostly NON-Weight Bearing (stay off of it totally); yada yada. This SMB!

In Adventureland ... "Keep looking, I know the Safari Ride is in here."

So much for that - the race is sold out. I was afraid of that - lately, the races sell out within a few days (if not hours or minutes) of registration opening. Every upcoming runDisney race that is open for registration is sold out.

There moving the hat to put it on top of Spacship Earth.

Emblematic of what ... a dropped ice cream cone?

I get a real wheelchair some time during the next week or two. I can also start using my foot some, which will allow my right arm to heal. I haven't checked for openings for the run. I'll try to do that tomorrow. I should be able to do a 5K by WWW ... BUT I will only do this if some of the Wild Womenz want to attend the party.

Maybe the doctor is the one that needs a lesson in reading X-rays ...

Actually, more healing than expected. Take the boot off and wear a shoe some to build the muscle tone back up. When it starts to ache some - and it WILL start to hurt, put the boot back on.

I'm taking this with a grain of salt until I see the Radiologist report next week. Last time the doctor said 40% healed and the Radiologist said minimal change o/O ...

What is the item at center left that looks suspiciously like a grilled steak?

I'm guessing it's a grilled Portobello Mushroom.

The lunch menu at Les Chefs de France also looks very good and somewhat reasonable depending what you order.... anyone tried that?

Chefs is one of our favourites for lunch.

It's pretty much confirmed that Rita and I will be moving to the Kissimmee area. Rita sooner with me no later than the first part of June. I plan on being over at the Fort to meet and greet Fiends that come visiting. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas visits WILL happen randomly.

Minimal change in the foot - even with lots of calcium, D3 and the bone growth stimulator. I see the doctor again on January 8. Not expecting big changes, but there should be some evidence of healing.

Getting closer to the cause ... not the best news, but it opens up some treatemnt options ...

and going somewhere I really tried to avoid ...

Unhijack for a moment ... The Fort doesn't get free dining become we are the black sheep of Disney Resorts. We park our 'cheap' RV on an "cheap" site; cook our own food instead of paying Disney prices at their restaurants; we bring our own golf carts instead of playing the "reasonable" prices for a Disney cart; cheapskates like campers at The Fort don't deserve free dining. </Snarkasm>

Flemish Brown Ale ...

A little hindsight - the hills were VERY rough on me. Not that they are that high, but they are steeper than any around here. I had to put a lot more stress on my arms and shoulders than normal.

The strain on my injured arm along with having to wheelchair or walker around (and Whine & Drown Half, I'm sure) has developed into what I'm sure is tendonitis. I see the doctor about my foot tomorrow ... and no wheelchair and an further injured arm will - hopefully - stir the pot and get some faster action frm the VA. We shall see ..

Ghost of KFK Past.

Yes. Trout.  My mistake.

 

The explanation for how the food quality goes down when it's busy is that in a lot of those booths, they are just reheating stuff that was prepped elsewhere.  When they're busy, they rush the process, and the quality goes down.  They really need to watch that, because that's how food poisoning happens.

They will also warm and plate a large batch before serving any. If you get one of the first plated servings, it's cold.

I've been there, too. Good food - but as Carol said, nothing special. They have a fantastic breakfast, btw.

I like the 500 loop. 1200 and 1300 also have some nice sites for big rigs.

The waiter can make or break Whispering Canyon. We ate there twice - good food, but a waiter that made it less than enjoyable.

My favorite of those is The Wave. Best. Reuben Sandwich. Ever! Everything we've eaten there was good, and the service is excellent.

Twin #2 should be glad she decided to skip working the Half Marathon. 13.1 miles in that cold rain was NOT fun - especially in a racing chair. The volunteers were troopers handing out hydration fluid with no protection themselves. I changed the name from Wine and Dine Half to Whine and Drown Half.

Leaky trailers ... no thanks.

Limited access, but Shades of Green is a winner after my last stay.
