So I made it just right. A warm and sunny weekend with the girls. We took lots of photos so our friend with early Alzheimer’s will be able to look at them and remember the trip. Now I am sitting at PSP airport waiting for my flight home. The winter storm warning was canceled for today so I should be good driving home tonight. Start work tomorrow at 11am! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted December 6, 2023 #8307 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hi girls,, well I had a kidney stone and I,had surgery today. The stone was blocking rhe tube connecting the kidneys to the bladder....and they went in and put in a stent, which is temporarily there. And the Dr was able to get the stone out so hoping the numbers will come way down. It's good she told me to come to the hospital! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted December 6, 2023 #8308 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Lois, I’m glad the issue was just a stone; painful but treatable. Glad you have a proactive doctor!! Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeuqdrazil Posted December 6, 2023 #8309 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I'm glad they were able to get the stone out, and put the stent in. Fingers crossed that it solves the problem! Have you had problems with stones before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted December 6, 2023 #8310 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hi girls, the numbers haven't come down a whole lot but the surgery was just last night. The Dr was here and I will probably be here till Friday or Saturday. She wants to see a decrease of the numbers and is hoping in another 24 if will look better. So this is really one day at a time. Can be disconcerting, that is for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrToblerone Posted December 6, 2023 #8314 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Heres hoping your numbers rectify now . Ive heard that kidney stones can be very painful but I'm not a medical person . I hope you're home recovering shortly Lois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted December 6, 2023 Author #8315 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Lois - I'm relieved that it was a stone and it was quickly taken care of. I do hope that, with it removed and the stent in, nature will take over and restore your numbers. Home from Palm Springs and did my first day of work. I'm just exhausted today - my usual day off. Turns out my boss is still my boss until they can get someone else. Poor her - she's doing her new job AND her old job. She's going to be going crazy. And she has to hire one more person to be the "opener" at the Lodge. I was going bonkers because I thought I had my logins/passwords put away and I couldn't find them! I took all day to try to remember them. One still is a mystery. they also "upgraded" us to the big domain and took away the domain the lodge has had for years, Our email is a mess, documents are unavailable, just awful. I'm sure they are thinking I can fix it since I worked in IT 😒. Nope. OOTD: joggers and a Tshirt. Day off. I'm going to nap! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhfy Posted December 8, 2023 #8321 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Kat, don’t know if you’ve seen the new Delancy tights from Athleta. Herringbone & faux leather (called Gleam). Two other styles too. I’ve ordered the Textured. Melody Edited December 8, 2023 by awhfy Add pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted December 9, 2023 #8324 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hi Melody, thanks so much. I would not even know I have a stent (If I didn't know).....I don't feel anything so that is good😃. But my only plans are going to Publix to have a chat with my pharmacist tomorrow. I have 2 new meds I need to get filled. They have me on a BP meds now and I am changing my Diabetes pill too. The new scripts are via the "On Call" Dr from the hospital. Need to make sure everything gets processed. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted December 9, 2023 #8325 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Well I will be home tomorrow. It’s been an interesting journey — what with my bad knee and there has been a lot of Covid aboard including 2 dinner companions!! The sea days were fine and went by fast. Gaining an hour a day is an easier way to deal with jet lag for sure. 😉 Christmas decorations onboard are festive. I even tried a holiday drink: a mint white chocolate martini!
