CAC104 Posted August 3, 2012 #1328 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It is amazing that at his age he has been able to recover from a stroke and then undergo major surgery and make it home in only a few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burm Posted August 4, 2012 #1333 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I wish I could take Egon some chocolate covered strawberries and champagne to cheer him up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red State Sam Posted August 4, 2012 #1334 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wonderful news! But we've got to keep our prayers going. As active and bright as Egon is, the recovery process is going to be tough! Steve - you are in my prayers too. Being the caretaker is tougher than most people realize but know this - we all appreciate your efforts! In my book, you're looking after precious cargo. Would that there were more people of Egon's make-up! God bless . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishful thinking Posted August 7, 2012 #1338 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Such good news. Looks like our Egon is doing well so far. Am thinking of him too and wish him a full and speedy recovery. God Bless him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnd crsr Posted August 7, 2012 #1339 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I only found this thread a few days ago, but couldn't stop reading! Thank you to all the people that have kept it going! What an amazing man! From starting off by himself for a year on a cruise ship and continuing his adventure the next year with his trip to Mexico, followed by cruising on several ships plus all the problems he encountered along the way. I admire his problem solving: from theft, a missing passport and the health set backs he had. Egon is a role model for all cruisers (not just singles). I was saddened that he had to abandon his latest adventure due to health problems and at the same time glad that he made the choice to return to Canada and his son for the treatment he needed for the cancer. The unexpected stroke was terrible but could have been worse if he was on the other side of the world or cruising home. I am sorry Egon did not have the opportunity to cruise on Princess (my favourite line). It would have been a pleasure to sail on the same ship as Egon-- to meet him, listen to him play the piano and to play Scrabble with him. Pat, when you email Egon, would you please convey my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and complete recovery from his stroke. He is an inspiration for all of us seniors to live each day to the fullest! cnd crsr Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted August 8, 2012 #1341 Share Posted August 8, 2012 To you and that you let us all know what's going on Pat. Thank you. We all feel like we know him because we followed all his cruises and travels. Wishing a speeding recovery from the surgery and stroke. Glad he can e-mail and play some music. Hope his speech comes back soon. Also Thank you Steve for all your updates and taking such good care of your father. Hope to hear more great updates soon.

yellowbird23 Posted August 8, 2012 #1342 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Won't be no cruises for me for quite a while. Just learned that my oldest yorkie must have surgery on Friday to the tune of $800-1100. Fun, fun, fun! Here we go again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowbird23 Posted August 8, 2012 #1343 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I could have gone on one heck of a cruise for what I have put out for three dogs in the past 7 months, but I know what my priorities are and it isn't cruising right now.

Red State Sam Posted August 8, 2012 #1344 Share Posted August 8, 2012 So good to get a message from Egon himself and know that our prayers are being heard and answered! Thanks Pat (and Doug) for allowing us to keep up. God bless Egon and Steve for his wonderful help in bringing Egon back to good health and to us!

Doug>>that's why I cruised solo. I felt good knowing that my hubby was taking care of them. They have NEVER been kenneled. Sunshine is 12-1/2 years old and they seem to feel she will be okay.

3dogsrule Posted August 9, 2012 #1347 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I understand, Pat, I just got my last vet bill that went on my Visa paid off! But we gotta take care of our babies. Hope Sunshine does well. Sugar still doing okay? Look forward to the next news from Egon, I'm still tickled pink that he actually wrote you a note himself, he's such an amazing man!

cnd crsr Posted August 9, 2012 #1348 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hi Pat, Thank you for forwarding my "healing" thoughts for Egon. I am so sorry to hear your yorkie needs surgery. Your priorities are in the right place and hopefully you will soon be rewarded with a cruise. Good thoughts and prayers for you and your Sunshine. My daughter lost her sweet Annie today. They took her to the vet yesterday with unusual symptoms and after tests it was determined Annie had been poisoned (some people are really sick). Long story short - while DD and the vet were discussing treatments this morning, Annie passed. Our 3 grandkiddies are devastated. DD is having a paw print made to put in their garden.

Karen My Sugar is doing great. She looks like a rolly poley little bear. Sunshine has lost 1 lb. and I am quite sure that Sugar has gained 1. Egon sent a beautiful bird orchestra and I have forwarded it to Doug to place it on here for all to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
