Can’t answer everyone but the ship’s doctor was in error.  Said the elbow was ok other than sepsis and it is clearly fractured (they could tell from the ship’s x-ray) and did their own to be sure at the hospital,  need surgery and going around circles with insurance,  Wish Jose was here 😢 

Oh my gosh…you don’t need insurance issues when going through this.  Do you have a social worker or someone that can help you deal with this at the hospital?

Awww no.  I am so very sorry to hear this.  What a terrible thing to occur.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery and relief from your pain.  💐

Thanks - no playing for Jacqui.

sadly this live thread is now dead.  I was medically disembarked In Puerto Vallarta because of the concern of 2 days at sea and sepsis.  I may have a story to tell down the road on medical disembarkations when it is not so difficult to type.

It’s especially hard pain wise and immobile arm wise with the angle in the hospital bed.  Not sure I will ever travel solo again

So sorry to hear this news about medical debarkation, the fracture and need for surgery. Prayers for a good outcome and good recovery. I'm sorry you are going through this alone. (((gentle hugs))).

[HELENPSL]

All we can say is we love you.  Please let us know when you arrive home or will they take you directly to the hospital?  Needless to say you are in our prayers.

Helen and Angelo

Oh Jacqui, so very sorry to hear of your medical woes.  You're in my prayers for healing, and being able to get back home quickly and safely.

@kazuso sorry about your injury and medical evacuation. Sending prayers and healing thoughts your way. Hope the pain stops and that you are well enough to get home soon.

Sandy

[1ANGELCAT]

@kazu, prayers and hugs for you. I hope you are able to get home soon. ❤️🙏

[Quartzsite Cruiser]

Jacqui, we are both sorry about the elbow and your medical evaluation from the ship.  Sending positive thoughts your way for a successful surgey, fewer hassles with the insurance, and a speedy and complete recovery.

[summer slope]

Major 🙏🙏. Have a safe and comfortable trip home. Wish I was closer. 

[LawDog61]

I have such sympathy for you Kazu as I too was medically debarked from a Princess Ship many years ago (same port).  My advice is get home to your regular doctors and insurance as soon as you can.  I now limit my cruising to Cal coastals, Alaska and Hawaii so as not to end up,somewhere deep in the 3rd world where my insurance is no good..  Best wishes for your medical adventure.

[travelholics]

So sorry Jacqui, really hoped this year would be better for you. Why do such adversities hit the kindest of people? All the best for a safe journey home and a speedy recovery. Kristine and Martin

I am sorry to hear this!  Sending you my hugs, thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery!

Prayers lifted Jacqui. I'm so sorry to hear this. Take care.

[cccole]

Kazu, That's a pretty serious error by the ship medical staff.  Wow, sorry you are having to go thru this.

 

I have so much enjoyed all of your posts and want to let you know that when we were recently in Barcelona we enjoyed a couple things because of your posts from Barcelona.  We enjoyed lunch at the tapas restaurant near your hotel and it was great, can't remember the name.  And toured the Palau Guell.  I hope you are soon on your way home.  Thank you for letting us cruise with you.  Cherie

@kazu I’m sorry to read about your disembarkation.  I’m wishing you a speedy recovery and a safe trip home.

From one solo to another. We are brave to continue to do something that we loved to do with our late partners. They would not want us to give it up. Please continue to sail when you are better.  Would love to cross paths with you on one of our BHB.
