So, MRI results today were a bit of a surprise. Two weeks ago I thought I'd strained a muscle, joking, "yay, just a month ahead of the Disney trip!"
But it's a little more serious and a little less recoverable from before the trip.
At this point, I think our plan is to rent a wheelchair from Walker Mobility since I can't walk more than around the house without needing crutches by the end of the day.
I've got my hubby, my strapping football coach son, and my daughter's SO, also fit and strong, all saying they will gladly push as I know my arms are not going to be up for the challenge of a week at Disney World.
Renting from off-site makes sense to me because I'll likely need it all around the resort and wasting time lining up for one at every park (and not having one to get to the busses or the room and back) would be a problem.
We can fold up the standard chairs and carry them on the buses, correct?
There are six of us, and we had the request in for adjoining rooms. Now it appears we need to call and change that request to a wheelchair accessible room? Do they make adjoining rooms that are also WC access?
We aren't cancelling. The two years of planning and getting six people's work and school schedules in line for all of us to be together for one week this year means we are going. My son lives in Texas and my daughter in Florida. This will be only the second week all year we'll have together.
My kids joked it wasn't enough to have this be our first trip all six of us, I had to up the ante.
So, other than the wheelchair thoughts and room request changes, I'm lost.
What else do we need to consider? Bring?
I have Mobileg crutches from hip surgery years ago that I can bring so when it's better to park the chair and use the crutches in queues, I should be able to handle that. But I'm not sure how we cart those around with us. Strap them to the back of the chair?
Help?
And thank you!
