First ride in WDW to the ER...

    Ok so a lot actually happened on the first day of this trip, surprisingly I'm in the ER at the moment... How I got here is kinda my own fault I guess. I'll be honest I probably overdid with the walking, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
    Today really started after we finally arrived at our resort (The contemporary) after a long drive I was more than happy to finally see our room. Sadly we were on the second floor, all the way at the end of the resort, so it is kind of a walk to get to anywhere from our room. The room though itself I thought was really nice though! After unpacking we decided to go and ride the monorail to see the Polynesian resort that our breakfast would be (Ohana breakfast). Once we found that and figured that we'd be able to find it the next morning we made our way to the bus stop, deciding on going to downtown disney, so mom and David could get some dinner. I decided on waiting on Triston who was flying in a little later. (Kinda wish I had ate a little bit more than what I had looking back lol).
    Once we got off the bus we walked around looking for somewhere to eat, and David led us to the rainforest cafe, I was kinda against it expecting a long wait time, but we were seated upon walk in. They ordered a couple of appetizer platters, and I ate some off of their plates. While we were eating I called and checked on Tristons Magical Express reservation making sure everything was set when he landed. Of course the moment i get someone on the phone the restaurant comes to life with noise and sounds making it almost impossible to hear, but finally I managed to get everything settled, and when I hung up the lady told me to enjoy rainforest cafe.
    After dinner I made a quick run through the Days till christmas store, but mom was getting cold so we walked back to the bus stop and made our way back to the resort. Once we made it back to our room, Triston called and said he had landed.. however said that his luggage had been put on a late flight, so he was trying to see how he would get his luggage. Finally though he was on his way to the resort, so I made my way back to the resort Lobby to wait for him. So far crowds were actually pretty nice not a lot of people, but I knew as it grew closer to christmas more, and more would arrive. I went over to the front desk while i was waiting and made sure my magic band was linked to my debit card, and they got it all straightened out.
    Finally he arrived, and we hugged and chatted a couple minutes. I could tell he wasn't feeling one hundred percent well, as he was telling me last day of his ski rip he started feeling little rough with sinuses. Finally we started to make our way back to our room. Along the way we ran into one of my MPS friends Samantha who was also here for the conference. As you can see thats a lot of walking with just the cane for one day. Seeing as he was hungry, I got my mom to drive us to the main building to look for something open we could have for dinner. Here's where things started to go bad. The second I got in the car, my heart went off. An SVT attack. Honestly I felt like crap, the literal instant he gets here and my heart has to go off. What an awful welcome that must have been. (While this has happened before to me its not common and usually i can convert back on my own.) I told mom what was going on she had me lay down. I told Triston to go get some dinner and we'd be in the room which he was so nice about and understanding.
    We tried everything, she tried throwing ice on me, breathing, all the tricks. It wasn't converting back. He comes in the room asking if i was ok as he had saw an ambulance in the parking lot, and was scared it was for me. Mom went out looking for the paramedics to see if they could help, luckily she found them, and they came to me. They gave me an IV with a large tube, and told me what they were about to give me was gonna feel funny, I just looked at Triston as they argued over little things. The whatever they gave me technically is supposed to stop the heat so that it stopes the SVT. It worked however, in my opinion it made me feel very heavy as if I was being buried. after they checked the monitor and made sure my heart rate was getting to normal they loaded me onto the gurney, and whisked me away to the ambulance to the ER for observation. Which is where I am now. Honestly I'm ok now heart beat is back to normal and they have done bloodworm and X-rays, they've cleared me and we're just waiting for the doctor to sign us out.
    Im getting a little stir crazy as we've been here a good while David and Triston are on their way to get us. Mom has told me i'd be getting a scooter for the rest of the trip, at least for park day. Honestly I'm really glad I scheduled the breakfast for 10:45 am will give all some time to rest. Well this was definitely a rememberable first day at Disney, especially first ride to the ER in celebration.
    You know even though I'm in the hospital I looked back, and it was still a pretty good day. Just needed to take it a little bit easier here on out.
