I'm still on board -- and it wasn't a given! After a trip and fall in the Canary Islands, I thought I might have to leave the ship for treatment. Doesn't look like it.

 

I am still blogging -- you can find my latest report here:

Jo, I hope you will still be on the TA!  Best wishes to you.

Glad to hear you’re doing ok. I’ve been following your blog. The quality of your writing and photos is really enjoyable.

Jo, thinking of you!  How are you doing?

Oh, Jo!!  Been there, done that .. also in the Canary Island (Tenerife).  Unfortunately I wasn't as lucky as you to continue on as we were one day away from heading across the pond to FLL and the doctor on Celebrity was concerned about a possible blood clot because after assessing me on the ground on the pier where I fell, he was about 99.999% sure I had fractured my femur.  Turns out, he was 100% correct, as was confirmed by x-rays later that night at the Tenerife hospital.

 

Assuming you'll be continuing on, we'll have to compare "ambulance ride" stories when we meet up on the TA.  😉  In the mean time, be careful!

Please pardon the intrusion, I see this type of reference all over.  What exactly "on the TA"?

Thank you so much!  That one didn't even come to mind.

Ouch! I broke my femur when I was 5. All I remember was 2 weeks in traction in the hospital. And then a body cast. I'm looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Much better. Got rid of the cast and will be getting a brace.
