awhfy

Detached retina surgery went well, will have more news tomorrow at postop. Les is understandably tired & despises the pirate patch. Melody

I’ll probably have to move my shoulder surgery

W just got home from the detached retina surgery., he’s resting in his recliner. His gall bladder surgery has been postponed to 10 April (right now my shoulder is scheduled for 8 Apr

I’d pack a hooded waterproof jacket, hat & gloves & at least a pair of silk long Johns. I’d maybe put a pair of shirts &tshirt. Definitely some yoga pants & a sweater

Thanks Lois, this was pretty much a mule kick! Definitely not expected, no warning

Les’s gall bladder surgery has been postponed to 10 April because he managed to detach a retina over the weekend (no clue how). His retina surgery will be tomorrow at 7am. This is really serious surgery. I’m pretty much spinning in circles!! Melody

Well crazy day. Les’s gall bladder surgery has been pushed to 10 April as first surgery. Reason, Les developed a detached retina over the weekend & is having surgery for that tomorrow morning at 7am. The eye is very serious. I’m pretty much spinning. Melody

Only Ft Lauderdale & Miami participate. Seattle has a different service

Not normally offered on transatlantic voyages due to extra customs clearing

We were on the 4-night Silhouette & the following 10-night Silhouette. Luggage Valet wasn’t offered for the 4-night but was offered on the 10-night. We took advantage of the service, $29pp, 2 bags pp allowed, no airline fees as we flew first class. I’m so glad this service has been reinstated, I had a nasty fall & lugging luggage would’ve been near to impossible.

We just got off, the shampoo was in (Bigelow) in large squirt containers, not wall mounted. Dryer was a handheld in a drawer

Kid was lucky the flight was delayed & you were able to get it to him. I agree, there are definite benefits to living close to an Olympic Training Center

Thanks so much. Same surgeon tgst did my hiatal hernia & ventral wall hernia. He’d the chief of robotic surgery at our teaching hospital .

Laurie we had this discussion several years ago. We each had big term policies when kids were little. We’ve converted both to paid up whole life policies (no more insurance payments). The whole life policies continue to earn dividends. With our pensions, & savings we don’t need big insurance policies. Both of our pensions have survivor benefit plans too. Les has his gallbladder surgery tomorrow afternoon Melody

I’ve used silk long johns for travel pjs for years & years. Wintersilks last forever!

Well, I definitely have surgery in my future, big surgery. I’m having a reverse total shoulder replacement the 8th of April. Went to ortho. I said so a cortisone shot & I’m good to go? He looked at Les like I was crazy & said no, that shoulder is pretty much destroyed. Sigh, I’m really going to be bionic!! Had to wait till Les has recovered from the gallbladder before I can get it done (one if us needs to be able to drive!) I should be good to go to our entire family vacation in Hawaii in June. Doc did say no paddleboarding 😢 I was really looking forward to that, but I’ll be able to watch everyone else. Melody

Don’t wait for a warm day. I wear sunscreen every single day

It has been an interesting year so far

I have 4 of this hat…I like colors

This doc is one of the Olympic team orthos

Definitely not the news I was hoping for

Thanks Janet

Full thickness massive tear including another full thickness tear across original surgery that was in 2011. I’m over 70. The doc said another rotator cuff (with shredded bicep tendon) repair he’d give maybe a 10-20% success rate he’s giving a 75-80% on reverse shoulder

I really thought I’d get a cortisone shot & be good to go

I recliner sofa, 1 recliner loveseat & 4 power recliners. I have choices!
