Late to the party, but happy to tag along on your latest adventure! Now to go back and catch up. I’m having back surgery soon, so I’ll travel vicariously with you and Iain. Vanessa

6 of our Dailyite cruisers

Jane, that's scary about the dizziness, weakness and nausea. Perhaps medication related? If it recurs, I would call Cardiology right then, even though you have an appointment on Wednesday. Terri, I have been on a multitude of drugs for my eyes (I have uveitis). After steroid drops alone didn't work, I was sent to Rheumatology. They did an extensive autoimmune workup that was negative. Then started high dose oral steroids. That fixed the eyes, but you can't stay on high doses. So the trials began to find a drug that would work. Most either didn't help or I couldn't tolerate side effects. In 2022 I was only on steroid drops and low dose oral steroids (prednisone 2.5mg). Then I developed swelling and pain of the knuckles and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. We tried to find a drug that would help both the eyes and the RA. Finally came up with Kevzara (luckily it's supplied by the manufacturer, as it wasn't covered by my insurance at the time). While not perfect, I am down from eye flares every 2 weeks to about every 3 months (I'm still on the drops and low dose prednisone). Good luck to you on your quest to treat your PMR.

There's NS!

Nice long, clear toots!

Early toots!

Nice zoom!

Rotterdam on the move.

Checking in.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Beavers are ok, but in the wild can cause issues. Snail-papers are almost gone, sadly. I use the metric system somewhat; it was used at work for weights, temps and size of things. Funny quote. Yes to the meal and drink, pass on the wine. I haven't been to Costa Maya. It's sunny and 55F right now. This has been a wacky day for me. I woke up around 4AM, then had several episodes of sleep after, finally waking up at 10:30 after the last! I posted the Cares list after the 2nd waking up. And unfortunately when I got up for good, I realized my left eye was red and light sensitive, so now I'm treating that. I can't imagine my eyes and hands when I have to go off the Kevzara (for RA and my eyes) for 6 weeks following surgery. So I'm sitting here in a darkish room, no lights on, with sunglasses on. Luckily I can touch type! BFF and I head to Erie tomorrow morning; hopefully the clouds won't obscure the eclipse too badly. Bon Voyage to @Heartgrove's DW Sue and DSIL, @Overhead Fred and Mitzi, and @Vict0riann and Pat. @StLouisCruisers Lovely photos from Costa Maya. @dfish Some healthier potato salads use part cauliflower and part potatoes, to lower the carbs. I hope your eye swelling recedes soon. @grapau27 Welcome home. That sounds like a great cruise itinerary. I got to see the Hotel NY Rotterdam on my TA last year, which ended in Rotterdam. Thanks for the photos. @MISTER 67 Sorry to hear about your cold. BTDT recently. Feel better soon. @Seasick Sailor I'm glad Allen got his medication. @RMLincoln Very good of you to try to impart some wisdom to the "kids" about what may come up in the future, dealing with aging parents. Because my DM had developed dementia, I had to deal with much of that in my late 30's. @smitty34877 I'm sorry Tana had a rough night, but glad she's feeling better now. Good to hear the teenager is helping out. With all that's going on in your household, no one would blame you for toning down expectations. @RedneckBob Good for you, being so particular about your diet. @kazu I'm so sorry to hear about all that's going on with you. Feel better soon! @aliaschief You are seeing many places I'll likely never get to see. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. @Norseh2o Cool! @Sharon in AZ Cool photo and video. Thanks. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Charlie the Tuna was a great marketing tool. Drowsy driving is as unsafe as drunk driving, and should be avoided. I'm not a Hostess Twinkie fan. Ok quote. Seems like we just had this meal. I've not made a whole chicken in my air fryer. Pass on the drink and I think I've had this wine. I haven't been to Niigata. A great day in history for us photography buffs, even though we've moved away from film. It's cloudy here and in the low 40's. Brrr. The furnace has been running more again. I'm sleepy; 3.5 hours sleep seems to be my norm lately. Maybe I can get a nap in later. I'll still work on putting things back in the 3 rooms. I have 2 mantle scarves that need to be ironed before I can put stuff back there. Welcome home @Cruising-along, @durangoscots, @cruising sister and @Cruisercl! @Heartgrove Congrats on all the new cruise bookings. I'm glad Sam is hanging in there. @RedneckBob I'm glad they tried to keep people out of the aisles or on stairs at shows on the ship; that's very annoying if they block your view (plus unsafe). @RMLincoln Good luck with the taxes. I got a letter yesterday from PA Dept of Revenue. I had a penalty for underpaying estimated taxes. But in their generosity, they were waiving it - the whole $5.59! @grapau27 Thank you. I hope so too. @marshhawk I'm glad your friends were ok after the tornado. @Seasick Sailor Thanks. I don't want to seem self-serving, so as long as I'm on the list, last is fine. Your patio is very nice. @ger_77 Enjoy brunch with Wayne and Fran. @0106 Your dinner sounds yummy. I'm not a seafood person, but will eat a good crabcake. @aliaschief Wow, great photos. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Nice long and strong toots!

Nice zoom. More toots! The two ships tooting at each other.

Early Toots!

Just shifted the view.

Oosterdam is moving.

Departure toot?

Good afternoon. Thanks for the FR/Daily @kazu @richwmn and maps @rafinmd. I will certainly salute Gold Star Spouses for their sacrifices to our country. No going for broke here. The world would be a better place if more inhabitants had a conscience. Fun quote. Maybe on the meal. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Bergen. It's a cool, windy day, with snow squalls. And it's opening day for the baseball team. People will need to dress like for a football game, as wind chills are in the 20's. The rivers are finally dropping their very high levels, and some highways have opened back up. Sleep was about the same for me, 3.5 hours. I had PT, then straight back home for a mid-day coffee and bagel. The person came yesterday to clean, although I think I need to wipe one wall down again. I'd like to start putting some things back in place, as able. Monday, BFF and I are traveling to Erie, to visit a friend and watch the eclipse from their yard. I hope it's not too cloudy. In 2017 we drove to Tennessee, and although it was partly cloudy we had a good view. @lobsternight Bon Voyage! @NextOne Happy Birthday! @GTVCRUISER Welcome Home! @StLouisCruisers Lovely photos from Bergen. How scary for Austin! It was always surprising to me that you could have eaten or been exposed to something with no issues, then one day you're allergic. He definitely needs to get tested. I'm glad he's ok. @rafinmd I hope the echocardiogram shows nothing further of concern. @Cruzin Terri I'm sorry to hear you were ill, but glad you're back now. And good you got your cleaning person back. It's for the best, but of course Jim won't like being told he shouldn't drive. @dfish I'm glad the eye is better. I hope your weather Monday is at least partly sunny. @kazu Oh my on your weather! I hope you're feeling better. @Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos. Thanks. @smitty34877 I'm sorry to hear the aide cancelled last night and hope she is able to work tonight. Being up twice is still hard, but I'm glad it wasn't more. Prayers for Tana, her son, you and the whole family. @Seasick Sailor Thanks for the photos of the bluebonnets. @ger_77 You have warmer temps than here! @kochleffel Sorry you had some trouble sleeping. I guess you felt the earthquake that was centered in NJ. @marshhawk Tigger is handsome. @bennybear @AroundWithMAPTravels @dfish Thanks for the Bergen photos. @Norseh2o Lovely sunrise! Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Very sad. I read that it was very late at night (like 3-4 AM) and the young man and another guy were in the hot tub. They were leaving for the elevators when his father approached. They argued about his underage drinking, the 20 year old said he'd "fix it", and jumped overboard, to the horror of those there.
