I love those cold soups. Thousands of calories, but so good. I am very impressed with the size of your roll call. You are amazing to have done so much while you had so much going on at home. Hope you are enjoying in spite of your ankle.

Good morning everyone. After a rainy miserable day yesterday , today will be 70 degrees and sunny. It’s probably one of the last days we will be able to sit outside with friends. Prayers for all on our care list , and for those affected by Nicole. My friends in Florida have all checked in as safe. Stay safe everyone, Carol

That was said tongue in cheek.

Good evening everyone. The day got away from me. Lenda, what happened to Steve in the hospital yesterday is why sick people should never go to a hospital. Twice, when Sam was in for 2 days, they decided he needed a PT evaluation at 5pm before he could leave. Only trouble was the PT department left at 4pm. I was at home, called the hospital admionistrator, my daughter was in the hospital trying to get him duscharged and my son was at his house on the phone with the admitting MD who wouldnt discharge Sam. I finally got the administator to go down to the Er and they let him go home. The second time it happened, the administrator and I were on first name basis. Sems, since he came in by ambulance, and on a stretcher, they needed to verrify he could walk even though we told them he had PT privaely. So frustrating. I'm curious to know how the blood clot was removed. Sam's was in his brain. They went up the groin with a tiny machine , opened it like a cage around the clot and pulled it back down. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Roy, hope you have a wonderful cruise.

Roy, hope you have a wonderful cruise.

Good morning everyone. Still can't get on from my ipad. I love today's quote. Going out with some frineds for lunch today. I am the designated driver because I'm the only one who wont have a glass of wine. I just dont like it. Roy, how did I miss that Jacqui's sister fell? I just read her last enterties and didn't see it. Prayers for all on our list that need them and there are a lot. Prayers that our country survives this election no matter what the results. Stay safe everyone, Carol

First, Jacqui, you are a real trooper. I am amazed at your perseverence and determination and so glad you got to the flamingo show. I cried reading the poem you posted. What a beautiful ceremony for Jose. And, please thank Jan for all the amazing pictures.

Jacqui, it sounds like you are having a great cruise despite your foot issues. I'm glad you can get off the ship today. I'm enjoying reading your posts everyday so keep them coming.

Good morning everyone. I'm still having log in issues and have to log in with user name and password and only on my desktop. My ipad is a no go. I can't believe Florida is going to be hit by another huricaine. Wishing everyone in her path to be safe. I got a great report at the dentist yesterday and a great report at my oncologist last week, grteful for both. A radiologist saved my life back in 2015. Hope everyone has voted or will vote today. I will be so happy not to see all the adds and emails asking me for donations. I get at least 3 of those a day. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Jacqui, I'm so glad you had that wheelchair embarkation and you are settled onboard. The meet and greet looked amazing. I recognized your sisters. Hope you have a wonderful cruise and continue to heal and become pain free. You are a trooper. Hugs, Carol

Good morning everyone. I HATE THE END OF DAYLIGHT SAVING'S TIME. It will soon be dark by 4pm which seriously impacts my going anywhere since I dont drive in the dark. it's time the whole country adopts Daylight savings time. That's my rant for today. I'm still not able to sign in from my ipad. Yesterday was a beautiful number 10 day and I sat outside with 7 friends in one of the many gazebos we have around our community. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. I'm still having trouble logging in on my ipad which is where I always did before this week. I'm on my desktop now and it's letting me stay logged in since yesterday. Funny, I had take out Chinese Food last night. I'm allergic to MSG and they made it without it. Really very good. Not a fan of today's quote. Off this morning to have my hair cut and then coming back to sit outside with friends and enjoy the trees and the leaves. Today is the last day of DST and I'm not a fan of dark at 4:30. I wish we would keep it all year long. Stay safe everyone, Carol

WOW. This cruise is not what you had hoped for. I know you will get tons of support from your family, your roll call and the wonderful crew. Hang in there.

Good afternoon everyone. I'm still having sign in issues.. It really is a pain. My cortisone shot seems to have worked and my excruciating pain has resolved for now. I'm more than grateful. Dont have time for more right now. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good moroning everyone. I was unable to log in until now. This is the first time this happened to me. I tried from my ipad and desk top Dell and just now went to the main CC page, hit my picture and it asked me to log in from there. Then it gave me a list of all the CC topics and that is how I got here today. Off to the oncologist for a routine check up. Tomorrow I get a cortisone injection for my SI jpoint pain. It's been keeping me up at night and no amount of pain killers are working. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Rabbit Rabbit white Rabbit. Good morning everyone. Yesterday I had flowers blooming in pots in y yard and this morning half have died. It must have been very cold last night. Nice collection of days. Prayers for all on our care list as we enter the next to last month of the year. Stay safe everyone, Carol

I see you posted on her live thread. Thanks.

I posted the name and phone numbers of two companies that rent wheel chairs and scooters for the ship. Please include it somewhere tomorrow so Jacqui sees it in case she doesn’t come back here tonight. I also sent her an email. Thanks

Jacqui Special Needs At Sea at 800 513 4515. rents scooters and wheel chairs for ships. Also scoot around at 888 441 7575

Jacqui, have you considered renting a power wheel chair or scooter for the cruise? I can’t remember the name of the organization but someone on here might know. I will try to look it up because they will deliver it to your cabin.Be back if I can find it.

Oh my God, Jacqui. How awful for you to have this happen. You certainly didn’t need this. I’m so sorry, but please stay away from those balconies. I’m also suffering from excruciating pain from my SI joint and getting a cortisone shot on Thursday morning, but I’m not on a cruise I’ve been looking for. You don’t deserve this. Praying for relief for you soon.

Good morning everyone. Not a fan of mischief night. For several years we had our mailbox explode every mischief night. There was nothing the police could do.When I taught in the Bronx, NYC at a junior high school, the kids thought it was great fun to toss egg at everyone and everything. I’ve been having falling asleep and last night was up till 2am so I just awoke to 41 degrees at almost 10am. Off to a show at the clubhouse tonight. Stay well everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. It’s 9am and 38 degrees.I hate winter and it looks like it’s coming. I think todays quote is really important. I am truly horrified at the attack on Paul Pelosi and all the threats against our government leaders. It’s frightening to know how little protection is availabile to most of them, not just their families. Prayers for all who need them today. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. Sam was in the Navy and we were stationed on a Marine Air base in Cherry Point, North Carolina because the Navy supplied medical care then. Not sure if that is still the case. It was the closest all weather air base to Cuba and half the base disappeared during the Cuban Missile crisis. We were advised to keep our gas tanks half full at all times in. Are we had to evacuate. Thankfully, that never happened. That went out before I was ready. I went back to PT yesterday because I feel slightly off balance and am afraid of falling. We agreed I need a tune up so will be returning in December for a few weeks. Stay safe everyone, Carol I
