"I can't go today" whine thread...

[bounceswoosh]

Hahaha -- you're such an enabler!!

(Going to try on old mittens/gloves now lol)

It was suggested to me when it looked like I might have to wear a wrist brace while skiing ... just passing it along =)

I'm whining in advance -- well, not really whining, because that's not really the right word -- but I'm not going to be able to ski the week of the 20th because my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter will be having open heart surgery, and I have to stay with my 5 year old grandson while my daughter and son-in-law are with her in the hospital. It's really more of an explanation about why I can't ski, because I'm glad to help out any way I can. My daughter had heart surgery twice already (she's fine now), so I've been through this before. It's not fun, but I'm confident things will turn out fine. I just wish my granddaughter didn't have to go through it.

Oh, wow. No matter how confident you are, it must be stressful. And painful for such a little kid who doesn't really know what's going on.

Exactly.

Thank you for sharing. Will be sending healing thoughts to your entire family.

A whole bunch of enablers!

With that red scraper mitt, you could also fend off skiers and boarders who pass too closely!

She is in my thoughts and prayers. What is her first name? (I know her last name is Ski Diva.)

Oh, poor baby (really, for the granddaughter, not sarcastically). Hope everything goes well.

Always scary stuff; sending thoughts and prayers...

And, Yes, Divas can be the ultimate enablers where skiing is concerned...

 

[ski diva]

Ivy.

 

[MaineSkiLady]

@ski diva ->> to you and family - especially little Ivy. We'll all be crossing fingers and toes.

 

[Abbi]

Exactly.

Best of luck to all to get through this easily.

 

[Fluffy Kitty]

@ski diva, another for you and Ivy!

At least you are getting snow this week before you go and it will not be the 'disheartening' it was recently. I am coming back north tomorrow but since I still tested positive for flu at the docs yesterday, it's day by day when I'll be out again. GRRRRR! They said I'm on the mend but ....... Get your runs in! And possibly mine, too!

Who knew the time change was happening last night? Not me! My 6:30 alarm to get to the fitter qas way too warly.

LOL! I live on the Weather Channel (especially since I've been stuck inside with the !@@#$%^&!! flu) and they kind of reminded watchers!

 

[bounceswoosh]

Wow, look at my phone typing. I guess what I meant to get to was "not sure if I'll make it out due to sheer exhaustion."

 

[artistinsuburbia]

@ski diva Prayers for Ivy and your whole family. I really hope the approaching blizzard doesn't interfere with her medical care. Often our excitement for the snow overshadows the impediment it can be for some. Good Luck.

Have a safe trip. My best wishes to you and yours for an easy procedure and recovery for your daughter. And have fun with the grandson!

 

[ski diva]

Thanks for all your kind words, everyone. But now it looks like the surgery has been postponed! Ivy has a cold, and they can't do it as long as she does. So it's been put off til I don't know when. It's hard, because everyone was ready. But really, she needs to be in tip top shape for this, so it's for the best.
