  2. Joy, I hope things get better with Allen. Could one of his meds be causing the low sodium? It's hard to replete Vitamin D with just diet, and multivitamins don't have enough. I'm surprised the nephrologist didn't prescribe something for the low Vitamin D. Good to hear, Debbie. Lenda, hopefully neither the RA or the uveitis flares up. Rheumatology said they usually do 6 weeks total, so it's only a week more. At the end of the tour through the Titanic museum, you find out what happened to your person by calling up their name via a kiosk. Below is a photo of the information about Hannah.

  4. Good afternoon. Thanks for the FR/Daily @kazu @richwmn and maps @rafinmd. I remember Bed-In for Peace. I'll salute Greek independence and Holi. I think Scott Hamilton is referring to himself and his childhood intestinal illness that kept him from growing much, yet he became a renowned gymnast. Then he had cancer and a brain tumor. I don't like roasted red peppers, so pass on the meal. Also pass on the drink and wine. I was in Cobh for the first time last year on my TA in 2023. 2 good days in history. It's a nice day here. Already 56F and sunny. I slept about 3 hours. I have a call in to schedule my surgery date, and I've already made a pre-op appointment with my PCP. I was just going through the medication instructions, and was surprised to see my biologic medication has to be held 1 week prior and 6 weeks after the procedure! I've just message my Rheumatologist. Otherwise still trying to declutter. I have a donation pickup on Wednesday. No word from the contractor, although the cleaner is supposed to be here Wednesday or Thursday. @seagarsmoker Congrats on the cruise. I'd like to do a PC cruise again. @StLouisCruisers I'm glad DD made it safely there after that long drive. Great photos from Cobh and Blarney Castle. @kazu I hope your physio can come up with a good plan for you. Good news on the refund on the cancelled excursion. Thanks for the Cobh photos. @aliaschief Sorry to hear you are ailing. I hope you feel better soon. @smitty34877 I admire Tana's fortitude in trying to get to the kitchen, despite how hard it must have been! Prayers for her, and you. @cat shepard Happy Birthday to your sister! @Mtn2Sea Nice photos. @Nickelpenny Sadly, Fitbits don't have a great track record. I look odd with my Apple watch on one wrist and a Fitbit on the other. That was before Apple added more detailed sleep tracing to the watch. If/when the Fitbit dies, I won't replace it. @Seasick Sailor I hope Allen's Nephrology appointment went well. @ottahand7 That wine tasting sounded like a fun time. @marshhawk Don is a difficult patient for his caregivers, from the sounds of it. @rafinmd Great sunset photo! @RMLincoln I'm glad you two enjoyed your day out yesterday. @Quartzsite Cruiser Excellent photos. @grapau27 Hugs to Sarah, Pauline and you. Awful conduct by Sarah's mam. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

  6. I saw this on the news just a bit ago. They made it sound like are now in recovery mode as opposed to rescue mode. Sad. Your coasters are great. Also congrats to DH on the comprehensive job he's done on the book. And yay for including Annie in there! Well, just saw on social media that my hair salon is closing. Boo-hiss. The owner is going to a salon out in the suburbs. But the good news is that there is another salon in the same block, and most of the folks from mine, including my guy, are going there.
  7. I guess I've been bad. My last post is hidden 😲.
  8. I saw this on the news just a half hour ago. Sadly they made it seem they are now in recovery mode, rather than search mode. Your coasters are great. Also congrats to DH on the comprehensive job he's done on the book. And yay for including Annie in there! Well, just saw on the Book of Faces that my hair salon is closing. Boo-hiss. The owner is going to a salon out in the suburbs. But the good news is that there is another salon in the same block, and most of the folks from mine, including my guy, are going there.
  9. My quads were weak and a reason I started PT last July, because of difficulty climbing stairs. That was before all this. I had started to get stronger, then when the leg pain got bad, I had to stop most of the strengthening exercises. When I felt good initially, after the injection, I started back on things like sit to stand. I've persevered, even with the pain back, as I want to be as good as I can manage before the surgery.
  10. Now I can go throw clothes in the dryer! I may watch the other sail aways in a bit.
  11. Patricia, I'm having a MIS right L3-:L4, L4-L5 foraminotomy, using a tubular retractor. That way there will be progressive dilation of the soft tissues, as opposed to cutting directly through the muscles. She said she wasn't using a camera, so I don't know how you see what you're doing! I did read that a microscope can be used. Oh sorry to hear that River isn't feeling well and made a big deal about a Covid test. Has she ever had one? Is she worried that it will hurt? I'm in a study right now where I do 2 nasal swabs a week for 8 weeks and mail them away. They are seeing if wearing a health watch monitor, the data correlates in any way with the swabs. I'm done with my awful head and chest cold, so hopefully I develop nothing, especially before surgery. I'm going to be careful and mask at any medical appointments and the grocery store, and maybe PT if I continue. Lenda, I've been accumulating stuff in preparation. BFF gave me his DD DF's walker. I bought slip on shoes (wearing them today for the first time), and a long shoe horn. I've got grabbers, a shower seat and a suction grab bar to put in the downstairs walk in shower. I worry about stuff like laundry, although BFF did both of ours in Germany when I had fallen on the TA nad couldn't navigate the steps to his cousin's basement. I know he will do anything he can to help me, including staying here if needed.
  12. Checking in, but my PC is being flaky and won't open PTZ website. I'll have to use my phone.
  13. Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Blessed Palm Sunday to those who celebrate. I'll salute all 3 days. The quote is true. I've never had shrimp tacos, but I would try one if someone made it for me. I like the pseudotini. I haven't been to Kiriwina Island. 3 good days in history. It started out in the 20's this AM, but is now 38 and sunny. It was not a good night; I had a lot of pain and have been up since 4AM (only about 2.5 hours sleep). I think I dreamed I exercised, which resulted in pain. The pain was almost 10/10 this morning, but has eased off now. I want to do laundry today. I have a choice of surgical dates in April, but think I'll pick April 22, since I need to get the house together and organized somewhat before surgery. And make some soups and chili that I can freeze and have at hand. I've been watching videos by EquipMeOT on YouTube (she's very good), who has a lot of practical information (like using a walker turned backwards over the commode as a support). I've ordered a few adaptive things from Amazon. Not being able to bend or twist will make a lot of things hard to do. I think I'll ask BFF to stay a day or two right after surgery. @RedneckBob Bon Voyage on part 2 of cruising! @grapau27 Thank you for the link. @aliaschief Great photos! @kazu I hope it's not too hard to get your excursion credit. I hope your weather improves soon. @StLouisCruisers Prayers for safe travels for DD. Nice photos from PNG. @cat shepard So good to hear that your Sister got good rest last night. That will help the healing. @smitty34877 I'm glad the sump pump is working; I grew up with one in NJ, after we had French drains put in. Continued prayers for Tana, you and the family. @RMLincoln Enjoy going to the playhouse, and a meal out or home for leftovers. @marshhawk Yay, for another sale. I wonder if your "friend" is just lonely? Your coffee meme is me! @Haljo1935 Hugs to you and your family on this difficult day. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

  15. Yes! I suppose a ship has to be in the right spot to get that zoom.
