awhfy

Talk with captains club host on first cruise they’ll take care of it. Personally I’d do a cruise prior & have the Elite plus benefits for the transatlantic

Should be the same confirmation number if you bought a round trip ticket

Kat, every piece of living room furniture we have (on both levels) is a power recliner!! I’ll get him back into our family doc tomorrow, tge sciatic pain & weakness is very troubling. The walker is making a huge difference with stability. I’m used to it being me with mobility issues, not him!! Janet, we enjoyed Harmony, thinking about a Galveston cruise on Allure

Well Les has already had a year. Torn shoulder (surgeon for evaluation on this coming Thursday & hopefully a cortisone shot) until we get home the end of February. Last Saturday he had an allergic reaction to the pain medication for his shoulder. Then he developed a nasty, severe kidney infection that has caused terrible sciatic pain & leg weakness necessitating my getting him a mobility walker after he took a nasty fall in the bathroom this morning. I ordered it from Amazon at 8am & it was just delivered (expedited shipping for $5). Les grumped & groaned then said ok, it really helps. we leave for our b2b cruise in 24 days, hopefully he’ll be back to feeling well by then. Melody

I like that a lot

Amazon came thru admirably & he’s now the grumpy owner of a bright blue walker (with seat). He’s already said, ok this is easier than canes or crutches.

The saga continues! Les took a nasty fall in bathroom this morning, luckily didn’t hit his head & landed on the shoulder that we go to ortho surgeon next week. I’ve ordered him a mobility walker. The pain from the kidney is causing severe sciatica down his left leg & it keeps going out on him.

We get Peacock free from our phone provider or we wouldn’t have it either. I don’t like the trend for games to be on pay channels either.

Glad I’ve laid in supplies. It’s going to be wicked cold till next Wednesday. -10F this morning (shd go up to 20F) tonight thru Tuesday is supppsed to be -20 -30F with highs of -10F. Going to be a good weekend for football (Go Miami), casseroles & Netflix!!!

One mega antibiotic in & he looks better & says he’s feeling better too. I made chicken escarole (but I used baby spinach) soup & he ate a whole soup bowl & then asked for a couple of little Halo tangerines! First actual food he’s eaten since Friday. Thank goodness for Gatorade & protein drinks. thanks for the positive vibes all!! Melody

Rains/pours. Had Les back in doc this am. Major kidney infection & low Bp (70/50). Now on mega antibiotics & napping peacefully in his chair. There’s the back pain, chills/shakes. ER totally missed it. He should start feeling like his smiley self by the weekend. Of course this weekend is going to be brutal. Sunday is forecast to be -20-30F with a high of -10F. Good time to be inside watching the football playoffs. Melody

Not wanted but expected

Les had his mri this am & I already have results. Major tears front & back. Now his hip is giving him a fit too. Hopefully we’ll be able to cruise (in 26 days!). Surgeon appt on 18th hoping for cortisone shot & a sling to get him through. thanks all for caring. Melody

Kat, he’s on 800mg prescription ibuprofen. It was the pain med that thru him into trouble. Severe chills (moved his recliner about 3’), n/v. Zofran in the Iv at hospital. We’re getting the snow that missed you

Kat, Les is planning on sucking the shoulder up till after cruuse (I’m more concerned about his biceps tendon than the shoulder). Now the gallbladder, that might need a look before the cruise. Big thing is we’ll have to find a pain med that he can take!

Spent the day in the ER with Les. Thought it was an allergic reaction to pain killer for shoulder. Turned out to be a gallbladder attack (severe chills, vomiting etc). Good news, no flu, covid or RSV. Lungs clear, ct scan shows inflamed gallbladder but not emergency. Home now & he’s asleep. I, on the other hand, am enjoying a vodka & tonic!!! Melody

Xrays today. It’s either a fractured shoulder/collarbone combo or torn rotator cuff. Won’t know till mri (& they can’t do them together!). We cruise in 31 days. I’m going to be toting suitcases!!

Lois good to get rid of the stone before it causes you those terrible issues again thanks for well wishes for Les, he’s mighty uncomfortable

Must be the season for bum shoulders. Les has done something (maybe pinched nerve) doc for him tomorrow. At least my retina appt today was without incident!

Medical care, especially inpatient, is ridiculously expensive

Don’t know where I got Barbara! I’m sorry Janet! we enjoyed Harmony last year, the shows were great. I have found the shows on Royal to be very high quality. Celebrity has magicians along with their production shows

Cynthia, so glad your Mom was recovered enough for you to be able to do your cruise. Hope she continues to improve Barbara enjoy your cruise. We haven’t been on Symphony, please let me know how it is.

Cynthia was supposed to leave on a NY cruise to Panama I believe. Hopefully her mom was doing ok & Cynthia was able to go on her cruise!

We walked to the store this morning to get a powerball ticket…someone has to win! Why not us!!!
