Cruzin Terri

Good morning, Thank you Jacqui for the Daily and Fleet Report and to Vanessa for the Lists We are getting ready to go to the Neurologist. I will report back later. Please say a prayer that we can handle this. Thanks Terri

Thank you Lenda.

Hello all, Just as I am ready to go to bed i realized that I did not post an update. The drive home was very good. Nice weather, not a cloud in the sky and the traffic was light. We made it home in less than three hours. Stopped at Total Wine in JAX to pick up our order before proceeding on our way. We got home at 12:15 pm and i had a few minutes to rest before we had to go to a meeting from 2 to 4. When we got back from that I was totally exhausted. I just could not function. I found the recliner in the bedroom and zonked out. We ordered Pizza for dinner. I just could not cook. Tomorrow Jim has an appointment with the Neurologist. Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well. I am not expecting wonderful news,. Just hope we can both deal with what we are told and what can be done in the way of treatment and what we can expect. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. You are all so supportive. God Bless, Terri

Good evening everyone. My procedure went well and both lesions were “burned off” with a “cryotherapy procedure”. Don’t have to go back to have stitched removed and only have to clean the areas every day with vasoline and band aids. The only glitch is that if the wounds are not healed by the time we go on our cruise, I cannot go in the water. Bummer! That is only three weeks away. If I had known, I would have waited until after the cruise. The blood work showed that my inflammation level is close to normal, but that doesn’t explain the pain I have. Will be in touch with the doc. Tomorrow. Thanks for all your prayers and concerns. Terri

Home Lines Atlantic was my first cruise. We went to Bermuda from NY. It was wonderful. Interesting that we just expected all cruises to be just as good. Nothing has compared. Terri

Greetings from Jacksonville. We made it here safe and sound. Sitting int he hotel lobby waiting for a room. We figured this would happen, but at least we beat the worst of the weather. Thank you all for the good wishes and prayers. It means a lot. Will post later after the procedure is done. God Bless you all, Terri

Good morning, Just got up and getting ready to have breakfast and get on our way. Thank you to @JazzyV Vanessa for including me on the Cares List for today. I need every prayer I can get. I will check in after we get to Jacksonville today, Stay warm and dry everyone. Take Care. Terri

@Crazy For Cats Jake, I am sorry for your loss. Terri

Thanks. I realize that. We plan to leave as early as we can. Maybe at 8:30. Even if we have to wait in the hotel lobby. At least we will be there. I am going to take it slow. Jim is not allowed to drive. So it is all on me. Coming and going. Don’t know what coming home will be like with two legs having been cut. Will have to do the best we can. I really did not need this. Thanks again. Terri

Jeepers, I hope I don’t disappoint you!

Keep in mind that money doesn’t always buy manners. Many think it buys entitlement.

Thought about staying elsewhere. Called a few places and all are full. Just not going without a reservation. Just will have to suck it up and drive carefully. Will do the best I can. Not a happy thought. Thanks for the advice. Terri

Good Monday morning to all the Dailyites. Thank you to Jacqui @kazu for taking over for Rich so that we have the Daily to look forward to each day. Thank you to Vanessa @JazzyV for the Lists that are kept so meticulously. I pray that you get some relief soon from your pains. Thank you to Debbie @dfish, Ann @cat shepard and Dixie @summer slope in the Food and Beverage Departments. We can always count on the three of you to keep us fed and hydrated. Today it is now 49 degrees outside and promises to go up to 56. Good day for my Argyle sweater. Since we replaced our Garden Tub with a beautiful big shower, I don’t think I will be taking a Bubble Bath. As for a Divorce, Monday or otherwise, I will pass on that. After 42+ years of wedded bliss, I think we will stay that way. We will pass on the meal and drink. The wine is a bit above our budget. I have been in a bit of a funk the last few days. Lots of worries in spite of my resolution to take one day at a time and make the best of each day. Tomorrow I have two appointments at the Mayo Clinic. One for blood work to see where we are with the PMR. I already know from the pain level that it is not in a good place. The other is to remove the two cancerous lesions on each leg. Our plan is to drive down tomorrow morning and get an early check-in at the hotel on campus, where I am well-known and then go to my appointments in the afternoon. Well, after we saw the weather forecast for tomorrow, we rethought the plan and figured it might be better to go today. That is, until I called the hotel. No room at the Inn tonight. So we had to scrap those plans. The weather forecast for tomorrow is horrendous. I am not looking forward to this. However, if I don’t keep this appointment, I don’t know when I will get another. I was offered this earlier appointment when someone cancelled. My original one was on Feb. 27. I am sure that one is gone now. So we plan to leave early tomorrow. About 9:30 and take it slow. It usually takes about 2 1/2 hours. I am sure tomorrow will take much longer. The hotel promises to have a room available for me for early check-in. Keeping my fingers crossed. On Wednesday we are coming back early so that I can attend a workshop on Wills and Trusts. While we just had new wills done, my Financial Advisor is urging us to look into finding out how to protect our assets. A local attorney is holding a workshop on Wednesday afternoon. So we will try to get back in time for that. We will have to make some decisions in that regard. And then at 9:30 am on Thursday, we meet with the Neurologist to go over the results of Jim’s tests and see where we go from there. So, as you can see, there is a lot on my mind. Will try to be more communicative. @rafinmdHope all goes well for you today. @smitty34877 Hope your aide is back and things are a bit better in your house. Prayers for you. Take care everyone. God Bless. Terri

This is exactly what happened to us. We were not able to book any excursions. The only ones left were zip lines. We were too old for that #$%^. We were not able too use the credit for anything else.

Good morning. Hoping everyone has a wonderful Sunday. Thank you all for your contributions to this thread. Terri

@kochleffel

Thanks FF for that invaluable info. Last cruise we booked late and lost all of our credit for tours. Terri

Good afternoon to all. Trying to post earlier than the past few days. Today started out with the news that my cleaning lady canceled. She hurt her back and is unable to come. Doesn’t know when she will be back. Haven’t seen her since the beginning of Dec. Time to look for someone else. I need consistency. I hate to let her go because I trust her. I ended up doing some cleaning this morning but with PMR, I know I will suffer later. All that kind of activity only ends up causing a flare-up. Will do some more tomorrow. Things are moving right along here. On Tuesday we are going down to Jacksonville to the Mayo Clinic. I will have two cancerous lesions removed. One on each leg. We will stay overnight and come home on Wednesday morning. On Thursday, Jim sees the Neurologistl. Hopefully with some answers and some plan for treatment. Keeping my fingers crossed that we can keep this under control. I am trying to deal with each day as it comes. Not too easy. Have a good day everyone. God Bless, Terri

My condolences. May she rest in peace. May you have many happy memories to comfort you. Terri

@aliaschief

Good morning, Thank you all for your contributions to the Daily. Hope everyone has a great day. Terri

I am really late to the party. It is already tomorrow. Can’t sleep so I finally had a minute to read all the posts. Let’s just say that the last two days have not been easy. More later. Good night everyone. God Bless, Terri

Good evening all. Just finished reading all the posts. Thank you Jacqui for the Daily and Fleet Report. To Vanessa for the cares and celebration lists and to the F&B ladies. How exciting to the Dailyites who embarked on their Grand Voyages. To all of you I wish you a Big BON VOYAGE! Today was a crazy day for me. I woke up thinking i would get a lot done and ended up doing nothing I had planned. Too much to explain. Anyway, all is good and things will move along. Hope the best to all who are traveling for a safe and healthy cruise, Enjoy every minute. God Bless, Terri

@StLouisCruisers Happy Birthday to your DD.

@RMLincoln Happy 31st Anniversay. Hope you have many more.
