Mom & son trip report Operation: Enduring Hope 2 - electric boogaloo

Fireworks without rain?!?!? What a concept!

Yeah I was a sucker and bought a dessert party. But! It’s an AFTER fireworks one… so looking forward to not being rushed out.

Since we have a few minutes before fireworks, yup, she’s doing better. No dedicated oxygen(so nice not dragging that thing around), energy is up, masses are all down, and her mood has overall improved. Still needs some help now and again for confusion/cognition issues, but overall we’re doing waaaay better than in May.

I am renting points for the first time on this trip but staying at Boulder Ridge.

So far, I’m feeling this was fantastic. Only “issues” I’ve run into is I expected a hamper (with bag) and usb outlets. Neither are here.

Hahahaha and she’s on the balcony!!

EDIT: I just realized that some might not get the significance of this. On our last trip, she was terrified of the contemporary’s room balcony and refused to go out on it for the whole trip (even though it was a primary feature of that room)

I may bring my power strip. I saw one at home Depot that had two USB ports.

I am two years out from my breast cancer surgery. I survived on milkshakes boosted with carnation breakfast essentials when I had chemo. They had a good cold texture. I lost my taste buds. I still find some foods too sweet.

We are soldiers in the war against cancer. All we can do is fight with all we have. I am happy to see Mom looking better. My chemo curls faded back to my regular uncontrollable waves.

My lymph nodes were clean and I had complete mascetomy. Now on a oral anti cancer med for another eight years. I plan to win this war. Fox Chase at PMMC.

Well breakfast was a paradox. Staff was slow, characters pretty much waved and walked past, it booths made it like that and the food was good (though limited selection, but I’m ok with that). Mom had a good time, so I can’t say it was a waste, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Did get her on frozen. She wasn’t impressed though.


Explored Epcot, mom stuck to the plan and we went Back to hotel for rest while I went back and took in the festival (literally). SHUT UP, STOMACH! You’re fine!!

With the party tomorrow and late night, ending tonight simply relaxing in the room and watching HEA from balcony with ice cream.
