Her incision looks great. Now if only today the Dr. will say yes to doing another operation on my Kubota. He has a tumor that was operated on once before. It has grown back. The Dr. said that if he operated it would just grow back faster. We thought Kubota would go downhill and we would make the decision. However, it has been a long time and he is still his same Bo Bo self. So I made an appointment for today to reevaluate a surgery option. What was the tissue diagnosis after the first operation?

The problem is it was very close to the bone (it is on his hip). To me though it seems to be growing out and not in to where it is bothering his walking etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted January 14, 2022 #44003 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Good morning from Costs Maya. It is sunny and 78° for our day here. NCL Breakaway is in port with us. First day I didn’t make it up for sunrise. My daughter says we are to get 9” of snow at home this weekend. I much prefer these views. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your day is a lot better than Allure's day at Coco Cay. They have a 30+ mph wind, temps in the 60's, waves breaking over the pier, and passengers not allowed off of the ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted January 14, 2022 #44014 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So more weird Covid test results. I mentioned SIL tested positive using a home test on 1/2. He went for PCR on 1/3 and got his positive result late on 1/4. The almost 3 yo granddaughter started showing symptoms on 1/4, PCR tested the next day. Results took 5 or 6 days and were negative, although she continued with symptoms of runny nose, cough, on & off fever. My daughter also started with symptoms around 1/4 - congestion, sore throat and fatigue. She did a home test and was negative. Baby had no symptoms. On Thursday 1/13 the 3 who had symptoms did another round of home tests ( I honestly don’t know how they’re getting them!) - all were negative. Understandable that my SIL would be negative by that point. We just can’t understand how this “highly contagious” illness wasn’t picked up by the rest of them. Then this morning, the almost 3 y/o spiked a fever again after being fever free for almost 2 days. Pediatrician suggested she be seen at Hasbro Children’s Hospital since the fever was still going on for 10 days. Off to the ED they go, ran bloodwork & another PCR. The diagnosis- ear infection. Good news is the bloodwork will show if she has antibodies. And if neither of them had Covid last week I hope they didn’t get it at the hospital! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted January 14, 2022 #44015 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I may have missed the Amazing Race discussion and am too lazy to scroll back to look for it. Hopefully I'm not ruining anything for those that did not watch it so, if you didn't watch it, read no further. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of the 9 remaining teams, only 5 returned after the 19 month break. However, at least 2 teams of "familiar faces" joined for a total of 7 teams. I think. Any speculation as to the 2 teams? Maybe the 2 teams that were eliminated earlier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your numbers, 9 teams got the news of the postponement of the race and only 5 of those are shown when they meet Phil in Switzerland. When the race starts, you can see it is now 7 teams. I agree that it is the two eliminated teams, would make sense. I am surprised at a couple of the teams that don't come back though, life must have gotten in the way or something. Will have to see what they say on Wednesday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if father/daughter do make a return, that will make me happy as I have a soft-spot in my heart for them. For reasons that I hope are obvious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peperoni, please 😁 @Momof3gurlz I've "reported" here last week that we didn't get to see the grandsons, since GS1 was having on and off light fever. All the family tested negative. The "rule" here is that kids cannot return to the kindergarten until they have 24 hours fever-free. The parents waited even another day, to be on the "safe side", given that the "on and off" lasted almost a week. Went back Tuesday, only to receive a text later afternoon that both kindergarten teachers are positive, and all the kindergarten enters quarantine. My DS2 and DIL have again to split "duty", one day he and one day - she. And then the GS mild fever came back. DS2 decided to take him to the doctor, since he already tested negative after being at the kindergarten. The doctor swiped his card and said: "but he should be in quarantine !!" Until DS2 explained that GS is not sick, only on preventive quarantine. The diagnosis - ear infection.... Second WE without the grandsons, and the weather is bleak. We can't even walk the beach 😢 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the fur babies are on the improve with their toilet training Thank you. Charlie is struggling with potty training. He doesn’t completely empty his bladder when outside so he will come inside and 3 minutes later potty on the floor. Thank god for tile and wood flooring. Lizzy doing much better. See the following post for a fun video of Lizzy. 10 hours ago, NHProud said: @aussielozzie18 @Sea Dog When is your next cruise ? How much time before you will be fully able to walk pain free ? Next cruise is in September followed by October. Hoping to mainly be pain free by then except for my other left knee which I will have done after our Bella cruise in March of 2023. 10 hours ago, Bailey & Sophie said: So, all this robotic surgery... Is someone managing the controls or is the robot on auto? (I'm envisioning the robotic drink maker in the lounge that has minimal success.) I’m not sure but I assume someone is. I will have a CT scan of my knee where everything will be mapped out and fed into the computer. The robot will assist in the surgery and based on the precise measurements from the CT scan perform certain tasks. The results are more precision and less evasive leading to less pain and faster recovery. 4 hours ago, Keksie said: Samantha slept most of the night. She has had a good breakfast and her pain meds.

Rare Sea Dog Posted January 14, 2022 #44025 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Puppy update So the puppies are doing good. Charlie is having a hard time with potty training as what we are finding out that is typical for boys. He hasn’t learned to empty his bladder when outside and comes inside and puddles inside. Lizzy is doing good. We are getting them to sleep 4-5 hours at night before having to go outside. This weekend we are getting snow and will be real cold so it will be interesting to see how they handle that. Charlie loves to nap on top of the couch. Lizzy is still a cuddle buddy on a funny note Lizzy is getting more vocal. She saw her own shadow in the glass doors of the fireplace and preceded to growl and bark at herself here is the video: As challenging as the potty training is they are so enjoyable and loving. They make us laugh and give us a tremendous amount of love and joy. 22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
