MrsPiggleWiggle 65 Posted January 17, 2013 Planning on going in April! My husband and kids will go w/ me to San Diego for a weekend, and then stay there while I go across for surgery. I don't want my kids going w/ me so I can heal and focus on recovery, so they will all play in San Diego and enjoy the sun. We got passports for everyone, just in case I need them to come across, but I can't imagne that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweetTee 448 Posted January 17, 2013 Looks as if my husband will be able to go with me after all!! I'm so excited. We're waiting to see if he will be able to get off!. I'm ok if I must go alone but I will feel much more comfortable if he's there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm ok if I must go alone but I will feel much more comfortable if he's there. Oh I'm so happy for you!! My dh says he doesn't want to go while the kids are little because something might happen to the 2 of us. He also doesn't want to pay for he extra plant ticket.

We will play it to by ear and see how he ends up with work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went alone to Aceves, too (12/20/12) and it was nice to rest when I felt like it and not worry if my traveling companion was bored, needed something, or was feeling entertained. Plus, you will make friends there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoCalDixieGal 172 Posted January 20, 2013 Same here! I really like the idea of having the time to myself for a surgery about ME. I did buy a very lightweight suitcase to help with lifting restrictions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to be able to just relax and watch TV and walk around the hotel/hospital without worrying about someone else being bored out of her mind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't want to have anyone else to worry about while you're there post surgery. You need only to concentrate on yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
