Sea Dog

Happy Anniversary wished to you for a great celebration!

I haven’t seen that who is it?

Hope the storm lets up and you can continue the park. Ride the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for me. That’s my favorite ride of all time.

Keep looking you will find the perfect part time job. I just turned down a freelance job that just seemed more trouble than it was worth. Stick with your gut.

Sorry I'm late but so excited to hear your thoughts on Adventure as we will be on her this October for the same itinerary. You mentioned that you did not care for Giovanni's, could you elaborate on what you did not like? Most of my experiences at Giovanni's has been great but I have not eaten at Giovannis on Adventure. Glad to hear Chops was good. we will eating there too. Curious how you thought the staff was and do the bars seem to have good stock of high end liquors especially bourbon and whiskey. If you have been to the Schooner Bar how was it? That's my usual hang out spot. Good bartenders? Thanks for this review! Cheers, Sea Dog

That is exactly my mindset. Even if my knee gets worse I’ll just chill more. Good news is that I can eat and drink sitting down.😜😆😁

Yes I feel better about it but the knee is still painful tonight. Going to stay off of it as much as possible to let the injection do it’s thing.

Ouch that is not fun as it’s happened to me. Hang in there and I hope it gets better soon.

Thank you! I want to watch that series. When I had my first knee replacement I was very concerned about getting hooked on pain meds. I was relieved in that I felt like I wanted to get off pain meds more than stay on them. I did not like the drugged out feeling they gave me. I would almost want to deal with more pain than feel out of it. I like control of my senses.

Wow beautiful course.

Thanks for the update. I would do whatever pain med gives you relief. I've had them all. Great that your doctors have been so accommodating. When I had my knee replacement I had morphine and a bunch of other drugs. The only thing it did was make me so drowsy I went to sleep but did not do a lot for pain.

I am so excited. Ended up offsetting the increased cost of the charter boat today with a sale with our Southwest Airlines tickets. The reduced fare saved us $500. Woot woot! The knee is rebelling today after the injection. So sore and painful I can barely walk. Research shows this is common for the first 48 hours. Took a hydrocodone last night and it did nothing for the pain.

I tried to watch one of those videos but stopped as it was too gruesome 😜 Good luck with his cataract surgery. Looks like fantastic celebration.

Great to see you are back in the saddle. Good honest comments. Yes MTD is a mess.

Also some more good news to share. After having my Jost Van Dyke excursion cancelled by the vendor. Myself and CC Friends of Bella members @jmh2006, @Momof3gurlz and @Husky1987 are joining together to charter a boat to take us White Bay and Jost Van Dyke for a fun excursion. Just got the confirmation booking so I hope to go into a lot of detail on my review about this one. Stay tuned.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes for my injection today. Just got back and I'm very sore. They ended up poking me with 3 needles. One for deadening, hurt a little, one for taking fluid off my knee a longer needle that hurt more ( they got 8ml of fluid out) and then finally the hylauronic acid ""Monovisc" which really hurt as he got that needle deep into the joint. It will take a few days to a week for it to take affect. Let's hope this get's me through my Adventure cruise so I can have a great time because a week after I get back I go under the knife for total knee replacement and then it will be a year of rehab, pain and struggle but I am determined and look forward to cruises in April and next October. Cheers!

So is this week 2? Wishing you all the best and thinking of you.

You read my mind!😉

Very cool! Tell Mike I said Hi. Have a great cruise.

Thanks for your input. I am figuring 45 minutes to return. They say the walk from the marina to the ship 3-5 minutes. I am a cautious person so I imagine we will be ready to leave white bay at 1pm.

Thanks Bonnie!!

Come on over neighbor!! Thanks, never chartered before so it will be a learning experience. Thank you Graham, fingers are crossed. Thank you so much!

Thank you Maryann. I hope you had a great birthday. Fingers crossed the injection gets me through my October cruise.

They even serve breakfast at the Soggy and the painkiller has Orange Juice in it. What’s not to love?

They dock at Road Town and the charter boat will be at the marina next to it. They say a 3-5 minute walk. I need to double check the time going from Tortola to JVD but I think it’s about 45 minutes. We are chartering with Chillout Charters.
