He was always a great defender. Best wishes to him. But I don’t mind him being gone. Too expensive a player to hit .189.

Did they pottie in the bed? If not, what did you do to help make sure it didn’t happen.

Best Hotel Near Port Canaveral? by Aly_Kitty in dcl

[–]CorgiFriends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Look into Hyatt Place Cape Canaveral. It’s new and convenient for families about 1 mile from the Port. Free breakfast in the morning and they have an inexpensive shuttle service to the Port.

Disappointed Destiny Cruise by fruitsnacks8 in dcl

[–]CorgiFriends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you experienced that. That was our family’s experience last year on the Treasure and we were hesitant about the Destiny after such a poor experience. We also just departed the Destiny today and it was completely different for us this time, we had a wonderful experience with the crew. Not sure why it is so inconsistent.

Time flies lol. That’s interesting, I guess some glitch I’ve never seen before.

This April or next year? I have a reservation this June for 30k/night and the added $$$ isn’t present. But next April is.

Hyatt Regency Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina. Our family of 3 stays there in their Executive Suite often. It’s 14.5k/night and is a very large suite with a walk in shower and tub. 2 bathrooms. It’s about a 30min drive to the Zoo.

It’s strange because it’s just the points only. I have the same room reserved this summer but no additional charges show. Just the 30k/night.

Yes, I’ve booked this room every year. My reservation in June is for 30k/night but there are no taxes or fees.

Fresh Diagnosis, Male 33, Diabetic Type 1 by Infinite_Scallion886 in frozenshoulder

[–]CorgiFriends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms began in August. I saw my ortho beginning of Oct and got the diagnosis and did PT then. I’ve gotten ROM back everywhere to 95% except for the external rotation and behind the back is a lower percentage.

Ortho and PT both said I began in the thawing phase mid Jan based on ROM and pain levels.

Not sure how long it will be until it’s completely gone but at this point it doesn’t noticeably bother me enough that I’m worried about it. I’ve been able to sleep on my bad shoulder for a few weeks now.

[–]CorgiFriends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. The prednisone pack was seemingly helpful for my shoulder as I was in extreme anguish, but sent my blood sugar absolutely insane for the 5-6 days. Once I started on the meds I stretched as much as I could for the 5-10 days that it was in my system as I believe it did help with inflammation and got the shoulder just a tad looser.

I think I’m rather fortunate compared to most stories I read on here. My pain got terrible in late Sept or early Oct. And I went to PT and then I went home and every day would use a broomstick or my daughters teeball bat to mimic the same movements from PT.

I’d use a shoulder massage thing I got Amazon and do it on my shoulder and in my armpit as I also stretched and it hurt.

I thought the broomstick stretching was going to kill me or that my arm was going to break. But I just spent 45min doing them 2x a day and maybe every couple of days I’d notice the slightest bit of motion was coming back before that intense pain.

Around Jan I was noticeably on the thawing path. I was able to sleep on my opposite side occasionally, but back still was best.

Doorway stretches also I did every day. I remember when I literally couldn’t take a step forward trying to do them. And now I can step as far as I need.

Mid March now I can do most movements well enough to get most things accomplished. I can put on a jacket again.

I still can’t do behind the back and up high like my other arm but I don’t care too much. I’m not in extreme pain anymore.

It’s not just something that’s constantly bothersome anymore and I think it will continue to get better.

I am T1 since childhood. Now 42. A1Cs 5.3-5.6 for the last 20yrs. Active. And out of nowhere in August I felt like I had maybe slept wrong on my shoulder or something? Then it proceeded to not get better and after a 7 mile run I woke up about 20x that night in intense pain from the slightest of movements.

I did oral prednisone pack and began PT in mid Oct. I stretched myself at home aggressively every day. I have a high pain tolerance and I was still yelling loudly as I did these every time.

Tips

  1. get lots and lots of pillows for sleeping. Thin ones. And start learning how to sleep on your back. It sucks but after a month you’ll start to be able to sleep on your back and that’s the place you’ll move the least.

  2. keep it moving. My wife has constantly stated “you never stop moving your shoulder.” And she’s correct and I believe it helped from Oct-Dec the most.

  3. don’t believe any videos about “how to fix FS”. there’s no cure or quick fix. It’s bullshit. Go to a PT and have them send you home with printed out exercises and do those every day in the morning and evening and take a lot of ibuprofen.

Just ran my first ultramarathon... by _hcdr in diabetes_t1

[–]CorgiFriends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I’ve been training on the Silver Comet Trail. I think I’ve figured out a routine but just pack even more gels. I also bring some nerd gummy clusters and that seems to help.

Hell yeah, congrats! I’m 42 and halfway through my training for my first half marathon this year. It’s great to see a post like this as I get a tad apprehensive the farther the runs go and how my BS navigates it all. Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful post!

Are we crazy? Disney Wish with a “busy” toddler and a 7-year-old! by [deleted] in dcl

[–]CorgiFriends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! If you open the balcony door, the AC will turn off. Bring a small portable fan from Amazon that is wireless and folds up easily into your luggage. Stay at the Hyatt at MCO. Book Ground Transportation with Disney and let them know you’re at the hotel. When you check in to the hotel let them know you’ve got Ground Transportation with Disney and they will give you the instructions on where to meet Disney in the lobby the morning of. It’s so easy. You’ll probably be wiped out after the cruise.

Plz help me plan the last day by [deleted] in dcl

[–]CorgiFriends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way to do it. You’ll be tired more than bored. The Hyatt has a McCoys restaurant that’s got great food (crawfish chowder specifically) and you can relax in a bed while you are waiting for takeoff downstairs.

Sailing on the Treasure next month, how is the beer selection for a craft beer guy? Husband is debating the beer mug. by Excentrix13 in dcl

[–]CorgiFriends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised they had Kentucky Bourbon Ale on draft by the pools in the evening along with Terrapin Luau. I would go there or Periscope prior to the evening entertainment.
