Vacation Orlando

A while back, we took a vacation to Orlando and it turned out to be one of our most humorous vacations that we had ever taken. My husband decided to have arthroscopic surgery on his knee right before we were to leave. The recovery time was supposed to be short. Turned out he needed more extensive surgery and he had to be on crutches for 6 weeks.

We ended up having to sit in separate places on the plane because my husband needed more space for his leg which was in a soft cast. When we went to Disney World in Orlando, we had to rent a wheel chair and then I had to push him all over the place. It was hard because of the hills and my husband was not light. It was really hysterical because we ran into another couple with the husband in the wheel chair and he was trying to direct the wife where to push him and she was arguing with him left and right and then ignoring him. That mirrored exactly what we were doing too. I was ready to push my husband up the hill and then just let him go.

Because of the wheelchair, we were able move to the front of the line for all the Disney rides and we really got our money's worth. It turned out to be a huge advantage having that knee surgery in more ways than one. We joked that everyone should bring a fake cast to Disney World if they didn't want to wait in line.
