**Disclaimer** Okay ~ I have never finished a PreTrip report or a Trip Report. I swear to do my best this time!
Now that that is out of the way:
The explanation of the title.
Last year we had our trip all planned ~ with 8 nights and deluxe dining. I had all the primo ADR's in place and we were totally stoked for vacation.
During the weeks leading up to vacation I BEGGED DH to cut back on his 80 hour weeks and get some rest. Reminded him again and again he didn't want to get sick on vacation.
Day 2 ~ hubby gets sick.
Day 3 ~ he was so sick I insisted he call the front desk to see if there was an on call doctor. There was. The on call doctor called him and said he should go to the clinic ASAP ~ they sent a car for him.
Okay ~ so I admit ~ I was MAD at him for being sick. They told him the wait would likely be upwards of 7 hours. I told him that the girls, mom and I wouldn't go with him to the clinic. He agreed and said he would call when he knew something.
We went to dinner at Garden Grill and about 1.5 hours later I grabbed my cell phone to see if he called. He had. Eight times. His O2 levels were so low they rushed him through. XRAYS later and a swab (up the noise btw not of the throat) he was diagnosed with Pneumonia and Respiratory Flu. He was calling me b/c they couldn't get his RX card to go through and they wanted $2000 for the meds. But by the time I realized it he was on his way back already. Without meds.
We all got back to the room about the same time. I called the front desk to ask about pharmacy's that delivered and called the place they said and it was the same amount and they didn't take insurance.
So we called an 80/cab to Orlando to a 24 hour pharmacy. We got his scripts for $4.
The next day he was feeling a little better but not much. While he still tried to enjoy the trip with us it was a total blowout.
I feel bad about being mad at him... but I am still sorta mad about the whole thing. I planned REALLY hard. For a LONG time.
So we have been back and done deluxe dining twice since then ~ but not with my mom (this is a really important factor!) ~ and our Spring Trip is OUR SPRING TRIP!
So that's the background. Up next: The When/Who/Where
