We are DVC members who have not gone to WDW in 2 years! DH has had 3 surgeries in a 2 year period causing cancellations right and left. (The one is September of 2003 was an emergency, the 2 since then have been orthopedic situations -hip repair and knee replacement).
Anyway, I am completely burned out both physically and mentally. I own a business and DHs hospital situations and needing care when he got home have caused me to take huge hits in time spent on work. I end up trying to make up work at night and on weekends. Plus patient care, meals, laundry, yard care, phone calls to argue with Blue Cross,driving him to physical therapy, etc. It seems like I need to do something every hour (which is better than every 10 minutes like a month ago, but still tiresome.)
All I can think of right now is a 4 day weekend at Vero. I'm obsessed with the thought of waves and gardens and doing NOTHING. I don't want the parks because I'm really over the top with any sensory input, no matter how much fun. I want quiet and no demands. I have points available. I have free SW tickets. Other than a rental car, the cash cost is pretty non-existent. The down side: 4 day weekend is pretty much 2 days on a plane. If DH goes along, he probably loses a day after we get there because his knee is still healing and will swell up with that long a trip. He will lose a day after we get home for the same reason. I will lose a day each time because I have an ear problem that causes vertigo randomly but always within 24 hours of a plane trip. I feel guilty if I take a vacation without him, but a vacation with him means I spend large amounts of the time watching to see if he's tired, swollen, pale, getting him ice paks, etc. If I take a long weekend, I am even farther behind at work.
I feel completely self centered because he is still sore and healing and I should be thinking of him. But I just keep thinking of how I can get away from all this WORK. I am totally burnied out. And Vero is calling me. Am I just crazy?
