Wedding Woes

I had a temper tantrum last night.

DH is having sugery in early January to have bone spurs removed from his ankle.  It's not a 'mandatory' surgery, but he (and the Dr) think it will give him significant pain relief.  He wants to get it out of the way as early as possible because it's his job's slow season.

Last night, he comes home and tells me, "Yeah, so because I'm having surgery we missed out on an all-expenses paid trip to Disney World for just you and me to go to the "Best of the Best" conference!  That sucks, right?"

I was pissed.  I was like, "Why would you even tell me this?!"  He KNOWS that a) I'd chomp at the bit to travel, b) take a trip where it was just me and him, and c) I LOVE DISNEY and doing it w/o kids is a glorious, glorious thought.   So, I was pretty snotty about it. 

He was all, "Well you would have found out anyway."  IDK how.  I don't talk to his co-workers.

And he told me his bosses wife is upset we're not going because she wanted to hang out with me.  Boo, DH boo. 

AND AND AND, we would be staying ON SITE at Disney and they are one of our affiliated resort partners and I can NEVER get in through our employee vacations program.  They're restricted.  The knowledge I  could gain and share with clients would also be a huge value to me. 

I'm mostly over it.  But I'm definitely giving myself a nice trip somewhere next year after I'm done playing nursemaid to DH for his recovery.

  • This would annoy me as well.

  • I'd throw a tantrum about that too. 

  • Why doesn't he just postpone the surgery a few weeks?
  • Cancel his shizz and go to disney.

    He'd have to postpone it a few months because the trip is in early March.  He's probably going to be out of work 8-10 weeks.  So even if he was back at work, we'd not be able to go because his mobility will be limited and walking around Disney would be out of the question.

    That was my solution, but he whined about how I wasn't concerned about his health. 

    And I didn't in the moment because I totally had my bitchpants on.
  • Push him in a wheelchair, you get to go to the front of the lines!  Double win.
  • HEH Peg.  You should have been there to argue for me last night.  ;)

  • an ALL EXPENSE paid trip?

    he might need to figure out a way to get that trip back in the works. you may need to return the bitchpants and exchange them for a sexy nothing crotchless thing when you convince him that he needs this trip.  ;)
  • ps - maybe you're over it, but i don't think i'll get over this one, mrs. conn. you know the industry and free disney is not something you just give away.

    i'll let you know when i am back on speaking terms with your H for this. it could be a while.
  • I think you should leave voice mail for him all day, just ranting.  I would be so mad.

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

    Yes.  All.expenses.paid.  It would just cost us the souvenirs we'd have to bring home for the boys.

    I KNOW!!!  It makes me ill just thinking about it.
  • Disney is pretty damn handicap acessable.

    I'd still be irritated.
  • I think you should reconsider and push the wheelchair.

    I want to hug you all.  I feel so validated right now. 

    I thought maybe I was crazy (and went a little overboard on the butthurt), but no...DH is the one who's crazy.  *smh*

    Oh and his boss is going to offer the trip to DH's co-irker (I KNOW!).  I told him to tell his boss my reaction and see if something can be worked out.  DH didn't seem on board with it, but sometimes he surprises me. 

    I'm not hopeful, but there could be a Thanksgiving miracle.

    And DH DESERVES this trip.  He's worked his ass off this year for his company.
  • what everyone else said. your H needs to sit his ass in a wheelchair if he can't walk. I can't believe that he would pass up an all expense paid trip for the two of you for potential elective surgery recovery. 

  • Geez. I'm enraged, and it's not even me. 

    There are about a zillion solutions above that would make it feasible. And honestly, the trip is right on the end of the 8-10 weeks. He won't be running marathons, but it's not like you're going to have to go straight from the hospital to the airport with a giant bottle of vicodin.

    THIS.  Your DH needs to suck it up and get that trip.
  • He should have told them he would check with his wife before giving his answer. You would have hit him over the head and made him reschedule the procedure and all would have been right in the world. He missed out on some hotel sex, yo.

    smh....men are slow creatures sometimes.

    i think going after the procedure and using the wheelchair to get to the front of the line is the BEST possible answer. he could use that time to relax. it's not like you have to run through the parks for the entire time.

    i mean, hell, all expenses paid means he could probably get a nice massage and eat at the best restaurants disney is offering. WHY IN THE HELL would he not realize that this is important for his recovery?!!
