Unfortunately, Eric determined, after two roller coaster rides, that his heart could not take the adrenaline rush any more. He had asked his heart doctor if it was OK for him to ride the roller coasters several months ago because I insisted he check first since his heart attack several years ago. I am very happy that he decided on his own that it was too much for him. I was very proud of him knowing how very much he loves his roller coasters. Regarless, we both had a great time watching the coasters and looking at all the beautiful Christmas decorations, and he said he would still be happy to go and see shows, the animals, and just have days out of the house so I don't think the money was wasted on the annual passes.
I am sure that was extremely tough for him to do, but he loves you and spending the rest of his life with you is much more important than a roller coaster ride. Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI think it was an easy decision as he didn't like the way he felt after those two rides, but a hard one in having to let go of that part of something he has always enjoyed. And yes I do believe that it did make me feel loved knowing that he would freely give it up.
ReplyDeleteYou have both had to give up things you used to be able to do as time has taken it's toll on your health. I'm happy you had a good day and I hope Eric took his wheelchair, or rented one, so he could stay off his feet as much as possible. Congratulations on 20 years!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah he was in the other wheelchair for sure!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear y'all had a wonderful time out at BG! I bet Apollo had a blast! Glad Eric decided to go easy on the adrenaline pumping rides! :)
