JazzyV

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. No hiking for me today. I'll salute all students and Baklava. The Baklava I've had here has been too sweet; it was much better in Greece. I disagree with the quote. Maybe for the meal. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to La Paz. 3 important days in history today. It's cloudy and rainy today, with more rain all afternoon, but up to 61F. The high will only be 45F tomorrow. I started the extra Gabapentin last night and took a muscle relaxant at bedtime. All together I got 5 hours of sleep last night, for the first time in many weeks, yay. Still the same awful pain when I got up. I go to PT later, for the little I can do there. BFF and UK friends are going to the Pens practice and then out to eat. I can't sit in the practice arena, then stand to wait for players after. I did once, and got my Crosby jersey autographed.🙂. @seagarsmoker So sorry to hear about the job layoff, especially at this time of year. I hope something better comes along. @Nickelpenny Your pain clinic visit sounds very much like mine. After the epidural didn't help, the doctor said see the surgeon, who might recommend another steroid injection from a different spot or may recommend surgery. Nice photos. @kazu I hope you can get outside things done and wrapped up before the weather bomb comes. @cat shepard Thanks for your concern. Sitting in my straight wooden computer chair actually brings me relief. I can't lay down, or recline, or stand very long without pain, but then I sit in my chair to feel better. @Heartgrove I hope you don't have issues getting home after your cruise. @Cruzin Terri I'm glad you had a nice dinner last night. Safe travels to Miami. @smitty34877 I agree that pain management is difficult, even non-narcotic therapies. Getting anything stronger, even for people with life-altering medical issues, has been ruined by all the abuse and new regulations, thereby hurting those who truly need it. Prayers for Tana and you. @Quartzsite Cruiser Great La Paz photos. Safe travels to Quartzsite. @summer slope Thanks for your diligence with the daily drink recipes. My insurance keeps wanting a home nurse visit. I told them I didn't need it, as I worked in healthcare and can take my BP and handle my meds. Plus I see doctors in some form at least monthly or more. At least it's not mandatory. @dfish Thanks for the recipes. I like butternut squash but it's so hard to cut. I have to wear my cutproof gloves to do it. @aliaschief Go figure on the phone charging. I never heard of Hubbard squash. @ger_77 Happy Anniversary to your DS and DDIL! @RMLincoln I hope the movers get everything done without issue. Exciting! @marshhawk I hope DH's doctor can take a quick look at you too. @mamaofami I hope all is well with you and Sam. @HAL Sailer Thinking of you and your DH. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good evening. Surprisingly, the NP called me this afternoon before I had a chance to call her. We discussed some things, but I don't want to go off the Gabapentin to start something else that will take weeks to kick in. I'm going to up my dose a little. I said no to a Medrol dosepak after bad side effects from it in the past. So not much to do. I appreciate the concern about stairs. I have to go up and down once a day, as the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. I avoid the basement lately, unless for laundry or to get something from the freezer or overflow food supply. I tried to nap, but the leg pain that came on from being in the recliner wouldn't let me. @kazu Thanks for sharing the bursary page. What a lovely tribute to Jose. @Mtn2Sea Interesting photos. @marshhawk I hope DH's doctor can see you tomorrow. Your cutback in cigarettes is paving the way for quitting. @Vict0riann The hassle in the airports has made getting to cruise ports quite the trial. My one next year is from Boston, so BFF wants to drive. I hope you get whatever's interfering with your walking diagnosed and treated. @57redbird Thanks for the recommendation, but I can't take that much Tylenol (inc. LFT's). I'm glad you got that appointment. @ottahand7 Wow on those scholarships not being acted on by students. @grapau27 Thank you Graham. @kochleffel Good to hear you made it home safely. @RMLincoln I'm glad you made it there safely. And how nice they have a guest suite, so you're not on air mattresses tonight. I hope all goes smoothly tomorrow.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Clarinets are ok. There should be tolerance throughout the world. I still have my DM's tin of buttons that she kept. I like the quote. Maybe on the meal, pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Saint Pierre and Miquelon. UNESCO is an important organization. I love the Sound of Music, and went on a tour in Salzburg to the film locations. The last warmer and sunny day today. Yesterday was tough. I did laundry, which already had me in pain. Then I went with BFF to the airport to pick up DD Ruth's DM and a friend of their family. I went into baggage claim, and every step was torture. We chatted with them a bit in their hotel lobby, but it was getting late. I had to come home and eat a little something as I hadn't had dinner. I got about 2.5 hours of sleep. I'm so sleepy and will try to nap shortly, if I can stand being in the recliner. I took some ibuprofen this morning, but don't think it will do much. I'm just taking it easy today. I think I'll try calling the NS office, as I am barely functional these days. @grapau27 Nice to see you posting again. I hope your phone keeps working correctly. @StLouisCruisers It's nice that DS is spending time with DDIL and Ren; sad that he was alone on his birthday. Thanks for the nice port photos, despite not feeling well that day. @Nickelpenny I hope you get some help/answers at the pain clinic today. @kazu Good job on finishing the bursary for NP's in Jose's memory. I think posting the link would be fine. @Haljo1935 Interesting dream. @Denise T That's great that you liked your new doctor. I hope the new meds get your diabetes under better control. Sorry to hear of an expensive sounding plumbing job. @smitty34877 Hopefully your street won't be disrupted for too long. @cunnorl I hope there's not serious flooding where you are. @cruising sister I do hope all with the DS's estate is finished today. @dfish I hope things start to move along with your treatment. I know PT is wanted before. I can't do much when I go, due to pain. I was reading about recovery from surgery, and all the restrictions on lifting and bending. Hard when one lives alone. I've worn a lidocaine patch that didn't seem to do too much, but I'll give it another shot. I fall asleep ok, but once I awaken with pain, that seems to be it for the night. I can't lay back down in any position without pain. @RMLincoln An exciting day, as you arrive for good to your new home! Sorry about the obnoxious people above you that kept you from sleeping. Yay for DGD's help. @aliaschief Ugh on the new phone not working; I hope they can fix it right then, or else give you a new one. @0106 Great quote. @Niagarawine Your French onion soup sounds good. @arzz I'm glad you got to FL safely! Have a great cruise! Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those with something to Celebrate.

There she is.

Definitely leaving; she's away from the dock on the map. It's mighty windy there.

Sandi, that was the conundrum since I hadn't posted anything since the Care List, hours ago.

@Niagarawine Hi, and welcome to the Daily!

Duplicate post. I wondered why it said I had to wait 29 seconds before posting. Is CC acting up?

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn. I do recycle, in fact it's tomorrow. But they stopped taking glass, as it breaks and gets in the machinery. So we have a big recycle dumpster for glass only behind the borough building. I like bundt cakes but haven't made one in a long time. I will be looking in the fridge for anything spoiled, to go out in tomorrow's trash. Good quote. Probably pass on the meal (miso), yes to the drink and wine. I haven't been to Isafjordur. Another nice day, sunny and 58F, going into the 60's. The weekend will be cold. I had a bit better night, with 4.5 hours sleep. My Apple watch said 2.5 but I know I got more, and the Fitbit was accurate. I'm doing laundry today, braving going up and down the steps. I was expecting a FedEx package, supposedly between 11-3, and of course they came early, when I was in the basement. I had to sign, as it's wine. My departed friend Ruth's Mother arrives this evening from the UK. I'll go with BFF to the airport; probably won't go inside due to my walking issues. @sailingdutchy @kochleffel @Vict0riann Welcome back and safe travels to your homes. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for your extensive photo collection! @RedneckBob You calling us old? 😜 @Denise T I hope you like the new doctor. @RMLincoln Safe travels north! You're beginning an exciting new chapter in your lives. @Lady Hudson I hope DH Bill is feeling better soon. @Quartzsite Cruiser Fancy motorhome, with satellite tv and remote control! Thanks for the Iceland photos. @smitty34877 Lovely photo ♥️. @dfish I hope you get some good information at your appointment today. @marshhawk Sorry you're not feeling better. Is there any way to get seen by your PCP since the Pulmonologist cancelled your appointment? @HAL4NOW Nice sunrise photos. @Mtn2Sea Lovely photos. @rafinmd Thanks for the sunrise. I hope you're feeling better. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I will salute Girls Day and Children's Day. I like some pickles. Interesting quote. The meal looks good. Pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I've been to NZ, but not Timaru. 3 good days in history. Another sunny day, but with temps only up into the mid 50's. I'm sleepy, after another poor night of sleep. I just ate a few chocolate covered espresso beans to try to wake up, as I won't have my coffee until later. I haven't heard back from the Neurosurgery PA. I have PT this afternoon; I'm really only able to do some stretching. I also feel quite unstable on my feet. I will try to do laundry later, but dread the stairs down to the basement. I did just sign with someone to do final yard cleanup and who will do snow removal this winter, and then lawn mowing starting in the spring. @kazu Sorry your arm is sore; it should improve quickly. @Cruzin Terri I'm glad to hear that Jim's knee is less swollen. It sounds like you'll be busy up until time to leave. @dfish Sorry to hear you didn't sleep either last night. Thanks for the recipes. @smitty34877 Thank goodness you were able to get your delivery of medical equipment and meds. @ger_77 I loved that cauliflower too! I haven't had it since childhood. Good deal on the remote starter. You have such a good heart, donating those items. @quilty964 We had a milk box on the porch, that the milk bottles were put into. @Quartzsite Cruiser Lots of organizing for the new motorhome. I had to LOL at winter 50's and 60's. People are in shorts around here at those temps. @rafinmd Your meal looks good. Nice sunrise. @luvteaching I have a pickle ornament on my tree. It is supposedly a German tradition to hide the pickle somewhere on the tree, and the child who finds it gets an extra present! @RMLincoln I hope all is going well with the movers today. @marshhawk I hope you're starting to feel better. @HAL Sailer Thinking of you and DH. @mamaofami Also thinking of Sam and hope he's doing ok. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. The one musician I know well isn't around to hug. I had to look up pupusa, as I didn't know what it is; I think I'd like it. Sadie Hawkins day was fun in elementary school. Interesting quote. I'd take the meal without coconut (I can do coconut milk, just not shredded coconut). Yes to the drink and wine. I haven't been to Dublin. A cool day in space history. It's another nice day, started at 32F, currently 51F and sunny. As usual, I'm not doing much. Only 2-1/2 hours sleep. At 2:30AM I sent off a message to the Neurosurgery PA asking if there was anything else I could do to ease this terrible pain, until my MRI. This morning I had to stop and sit 3 times just making my coffee. The DM of my DD friend Ruth is coming from the UK on Wednesday. If I go to the airport with BFF, I think I'd have to stay in the car, as I couldn't walk from the parking garage into the terminal without pain and having to stop multiple times. @StLouisCruisers That's good news that Scott is home; he can continue to work on his recovery in a familiar environment. Thanks for the Dublin photos. @Heartgrove That sounds like a fun excursion. @kazu Ivan must be feeling good, to sail over the retaining wall. @Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos of Dublin. And you're picking up the new motorhome today! @RMLincoln Sorry you're not feeling tip-top this morning. It's almost the big day! At the new place you can take your time arranging things, I'd think. Prayers for your niece and her baby. @cruising sister I'm sure your DSIL is thrilled to be able to hold Murphy; continued prayers for her recovery. I hope DGD is better soon. @cunnorl Early best wishes (instead of HBD) for DD tomorrow. @summer slope https://morethangetaways.wordpress.com/ This is Roy's blog. @RedneckBob Welcome back! @Mtn2Sea Nice photos. @durangoscots So sad and difficult about the cats, especially the ones who had to be euthanized. We just had something similar with a hoarder; they took out about 100 cats and another 30 were dead inside. The woman's husband had died, and she was in the hospital; she did surrender them. @Cruising-along Thanks for the Dublin photos. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

I tried to lighten it up a bit.

Great toots.

There she is.

Finally Reflection is moving.

Checking in.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Haven't had a french dip in ages; not my favorite. Pneumonia kills many older folks and people with multiple health issues; thank goodness for antibiotics and vaccines. I will celebrate happy hour today! I don't get Mel Brooks' quote. Yes to the meal, drink and wine. I haven't been to Havre-Saint-Pierre. Look how the WWW has changed the world! It's another nice day, currently 50F and sunny. Well, not sure what went on last night. I thought I slept a bit better, but both my Apple watch and Fitbit say I got a little over 2 hours of sleep! And of course on arising, after standing to brush my teeth, the terrible leg pain and numbness started. I hobbled downstairs and made coffee. I feel ok sitting, but can only get up for short periods before it all comes back. The yard could stand a last mowing. I just heard from the person I contacted about an estimate for lawn care and snow removal; he's coming by later to check it out and formulate an estimate. @rafinmd Bon Voyage Roy! @Crazy For Cats Happy Birthday Jake! @StLouisCruisers Happy 49th Birthday to your DS! @aliaschief Wow, it sounds like Sue has the World Cruise bug! Enjoy it while you can. Great itinerary. @Cruzin Terri I hope Jim is feeling better today. @RMLincoln The move is almost here! Prayers all goes well. Congrats to your 3 friends on getting their fire certifications. @Lady Hudson Welcome home and I'm glad you had a good cruise. @smitty34877 I'm glad to hear that Tana is feeling a bit better, but sorry the pneumonia has taken such a toll on her physically. I hope you're doing ok too. @Seasick Sailor A big congrats to your niece passing the bar exam! That's a big accomplishment. @Heartgrove Very nice that Carnival had a good ceremony honoring Veterans. @cruising sister I hope you stay well. @Cruising-along That sounds like a nice day yesterday seeing DDIL's artwork displayed and then dinner with her and DS. @kochleffel I really dislike it when it's frigid inside the ships. @Norseh2o Your stay sounds delightful. And tomorrow you board Marina! @Sharon in AZ Thanks for sharing your trip to California. @marshhawk Welcome home. @mamaofami I hope you and Sam are doing ok. @HAL Sailer Thinking of you and your DH. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

@57redbird I hope you get to see the spine surgeon soon. My MRI is 2 years old, and it's not clear if this is from spinal stenosis (that was mild), a bulging disk or nerve root stenosis. So after seeing the neurosurgery PA, I need a repeat MRI, that's not until Dec 1. Then I see the neurosurgeon. I managed to get in a bit earlier for that by changing which office I'll go to. @bennybear Thanks for the photos. @cunnorl It's great to hear that you are back to golfing twice a week.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. It's an important day to remember all who have served their country. It was an experience going to Normandy this year on my TA cruise. Angola is no doubt celebrating it's independence day. I like origami, but haven't really tried it myself. Education is essential for our development. Not sure about the quote. I like the meal, but too many carbs to eat it often. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Crete. It's sunny, but we may not get past 50F today. I had the usual bad sleep, and even tried a Benadryl at 2AM, but this AM I had so much pain in my leg I could barely get down the stairs and then make my coffee. Now that I've been sitting a while it has eased off. I really need to tidy up around here and hope I can get the banana bread made. I bought a stool to use in the kitchen so that I can sit and work at the counter. I took a muscle relaxant a bit ago, and can already feel myself getting drowsy. @kazu "The Poppy" is very moving; thanks for sharing it. @RMLincoln Good luck with all the last minute stuff before the packers come. And it sounds like DH has his hands full with all the admin stuff. I know you two will get done what needs to get done. And we're cheering for you! @Cruzin Terri I do hope DH is feeling better today. Will you be able to get some assistance for him for boarding the ship, like a wheelchair? @smitty34877 My continued prayers for you, Tana and the family. @dfish I'm glad the test wasn't terrible, but 7 days is too long for test results to come back. @cruising sister I'm glad you're feeling better. Enjoy the wedding. @Haljo1935 I hope you get some relief for the shoulder and numb foot. @Denise T Good for you for changing PCPs. That office sounds bad with not notifying you of the cancellation, then not refilling meds, when it was their fault. I hope your diabetes is back under control soon. @Nickelpenny I'm sorry to hear it's been so hard for you to get an appointment at the pain clinic. These days everything is in the EMR regarding referral, if you stay in the same system. That Vertiflex procedure sounds interesting. Sorry for the rigamarole with the surgeon's office too. Sheesh! @Heartgrove Great photo Jack. Thank you for your service. @Cruising-along It will be fun to see DDIL's art at the gallery. Best to your DBIL for his treatments. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those with something to Celebrate.
