Terri, I'm glad everything went well today except the BP.  DH had steroid shots in his shoulders for quite a while and they helped him a lot.  I'm very happy your PCP gave you some helpful information for going forward with care for your DH.  Now, you can relax and enjoy visiting with your friends.

Same thoughts I had. 🙂

Good quote.

Will give today's food and drink a miss.

I hope everyone is well.

Good morning to all and thank you for all the prayers and remembrances.  Just to give those who are interested an update:

 

I am home; I was discharged yesterday with a bag of meds - half of them I will not touch but took them home anyway.  Everything seems to be going well; I even walked to my mailbox when I got home yesterday!  I haven't taken a pain pill for 2 days now nor have I taken the pill for nerve pain since arriving home.  I just don't think I need it; I have a pretty high pain tolerance.  I am so grateful to my trainers who worked with me on leg strength doing squats and stuff.  It has helped in moving around and getting up and down from either sitting or lying down.  I don't need anything to help me walk but the hospital PT did recommend a sitting chair for the shower/bath tub.  Insurance wouldn't cover it but it was only ~$60 so I did order it.  I really don't think I need it but just in case I thought I would get it and it will arrive today.  I look forward to taking a "shower".  LOL!!

 

The surgery complications were somewhat to be expected and we had talked about them pre-surgery.  Unfortunately, they happened which increased my hospital stay.  And then my BP just decided to crash many times while in the hospital.  Lots of fluids given and finally all was ok to discharge me.  I am drinking tons of water which means many trips to the bathroom - SMH!  They were a little worried I was by myself at home but I think I allayed their fears a tad.  I can do this; this isn't my first rodeo!!  🏋️‍♀️

 

 

I did try to catch up with the daily while in the hospital but I hate reading or replying on my phone.  So it is nice to be back at my computer.

 

I love the blueberry tart recipe (and saved the first one). I can celebrate 2 of the days but I am not a fan of white wines. A big no to the drink, yes to the wine and I have never been to the port.  

 

I hope anyone in the Houston area are ok; thoughts for those on the care list.  Cheers to those celebrating.  Have a fantastic day!

 

 

We are glad you are home and hoping for a great recovery!

Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report.

Another humid day here today. It is currently 71 degrees (97% humidity) with a forecast of rain today and a high of 81 degrees.

I hope everyone here has a wonderful weekend! 

Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report.

It is 64 degrees here this morning and the humidity is 95%. It will be a sunny day with a predicted high of 85 degrees.

I hope everyone has a great day!  

Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I had internet issues from the t-storms in the morning, then I played "catch-up" the rest of the day at work. 

I hope everyone here has a wonderful day! 

Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report.

Welcome back Rich! Thank you Jacqui @kazu for doing the Daily for Rich while he was cruising around the world! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! 

Thank you @WCB for another wonderful daily journal of the World Cruise.  I enjoyed reading it every day and look forward to reading your next one. 😀 

Thanks everyone for a wonderful sailaway season.

Looking forward to the final sailaway of the season. Zuiderdam also happens to be my next ship, in November (11 night southern caribbean). Sure would be nice to be on today's sailing!

 

Sue/WDW1972

The Zuiderdam is also our next cruise. We get on the ship when you depart. 

Checking back in

Watching the Enchanted Princess trying to back out. So much boat traffic. 

You are right, never seen that much boat traffic before. 

Welcome home world cruisers! We will be here for sailaway.  😀

Good afternoon!  We made it to our hotel in Plantation before 3 pm and returned the car a short walk away from the hotel.  We had quite a bit of thunderstorms in south Georgia and then managed to stay ahead of them as storms moved from the panhandle to Jacksonville.  We drove past Ann's exit #278 at about 9:30 am.  A very long 650 mile journey.

 

At the hotel there is a new owner and some things are in a bit of turmoil.  The shuttle service to the cruise terminals is out of service for a few days because someone forgot to renew the license, so the county shut them down.  Our bad luck!  Trying to find a ride via other shuttle services right now.  The down button on our floor's elevators doesn't work either so that will mean extra riding up and down tomorrow morning.  Too bad this place is convenient to the car drop off place because I would have to consider another place to stay in this particular spot next time.  By the way, we've never used Uber or Lyft because they haven't had the service in our county and we never had occasion to use that type of service.  We have someone who does airport runs as a side job, and he's very reliable.

 

Thank you to everyone who worried and wished us well on our journey.  This is such a supportive place.

 

Well, I mentioned I'd try to post the Sydney photos this afternoon. Let's see if this will work while away from home.  This keyboard on DH's device is so small it's difficult for me to use so hope it doesn't take lots of extra time each day.

 

We’ve visited Sydney, Nova Scotia twice, on Rotterdam in October 2018 and on Zaandam in August 2023.

In October, 2018 on our Canada/New England/Atlantic Coast cruise we began in Montreal and ended in Tampa.  The day before Sydney we had to miss Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island due to wind gusts up to 86 mph.  That was a major disappointment to us.  I was really looking forward to that port.  But we were grateful to make our stop in Sydney.  The weather was sunny and cold with brisk winds but we dressed warmly and headed off the ship for our exploration of this new port (for us).

 

 

The famous Big Fiddle, a welcoming monument on the dock.  There is a market located nearby for vendors and craftsmen in the area to sell their wares.

 

We first stopped in at the St. Patrick's Church Museum which had cool timber framing inside.

 

 

 

Then down the street was this unique building which I believe is a store now.

 

We spied this duck boat called Harbour Hopper taking people on rides around the area.  For some reason that does not appeal to me.  I'm a little wary of them.

 

 

Then there is this monument overlooking the water.  It recognizes wartime contributions of the merchant navy.

 

On our way back to the ship we ran across this man who wanted to show off his 1968 hand painted Cadillac.  He said it had only 26,000 miles on it and got 1 mile per gallon of gasoline.  No wonder it only had 26,000 miles on the odometer!  You can't afford the gas to drive it anywhere.

 

We enjoyed our time in Sydney walking around the town.  All in all, a very nice day! 

 

On our second trip there we were on our Canada, Greenland, Iceland cruise on Zaandam.  This took place in August so different weather than our first time there. We set out looking for a dollar store to pick up small items we needed, but were unsuccessful. 

 

 

 

Safe journey to the port tomorrow Sandi @StLouisCruisers and we will be watching your ship at sailaway! 

Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report.

I hope everyone here has a wonderful weekend!

Just a quick check in.

Sorry for not being around.

I have been under the weather since yesterday.

I will try to be back tomorrow.

Terri

I hope you feel better soon! 

Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report.

Thunderstorms rolled in at 3:30 this morning and lasted for almost two hours. 

Thankfully, the electricity stayed on and it cooled down to 69 degrees. We have a chance for another round of storms throughout the day with a forecasted high of 82 degrees.

I hope everyone has a great day!  

That has happened on our last 3 cruises with HIA package for even a fountain soda.
