Which is why I lived today. In truth, I probably I'm sure did too much. Still, it was good to get out, stand on my own, push my body, and see what happens.
Pirates of the Caribbean...no problem. Haunted Mansion...uneventful. Disney's Philharmagic...it's a movie. Winnie the Pooh...easy. Space Mountain...quite possibly the WORST idea ever. Who knew you're body could hurt so much after riding a simple roller coaster (I guess laying around for a year will do that to you)?
Regardless, I had fun. I walked a significant distance...without holding an arm or using a wheelchair. I didn't get lost. I made it home in one piece.
I'll take it.

PS If you have Lyme and are going to Disney, make sure you get a Special Assistance Pass. It's great (like having a Fast Pass). It will help you walk less and enjoy more.
This is so exciting, Kathy! Yay for you! You are a brave soul taking on Disney or any theme park for that matter. Even on the healthiest of healthy days that is taxing on any person's body. I am so happy for you! I will say I think you must have had a complete "mental block" when you opted to go on Space Mountain!

Hey Kathy! So thrilled to be checking back in with your blog and seeing these happy posts! Woo-hoo...suck it, Lyme Disease! I know you've been through a lot of truly awful stuff in the past year, so I hope this sticks and you never have to go that far down the dark path again. Hugs to you and Angel!
