Rare cruisemom42 Posted February 24 #8629 Ā Share Posted February 24 @awhfyĀ Welcome back!Ā Did you enjoy Silhouette? It's my favorite S-class ship. Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted February 24 #8630 Ā Share Posted February 24 Good morning, so did you both have a good time? How is Les feeling?.......that sounds like a nice couple of cruises!.Ā I was continuing to look at Celebrity and found a 10 night cruise on Silhouette too........and in this case they are actually offering a big Sr Discount. I have to say, after sailing the last 7 years on small ships, I am just hesitating on going back to the big ones.....I think I have gotten spoiledš§ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted February 24 #8631 Ā Share Posted February 24 We did have a great time. Weather was perfect for all 14 days. I did take a nasty fall on our 3rd day out going to the helipad Sailaway from Nassau. I was going down a carpeted hallway & my shoe caught a small riser (I was moving pretty quickly) & I totally biffed it. I landed flat on my face, chest, abdomen & right shoulder/upper right arm. I donāt think anything is broken (of course I havenāt gone to doc yet). This is my surgically repaired shoulder & hiatal hernia. Iāll go after we figure out (Tuesday) if Les needs to have gall bladder surgery. Iām just having issues lifting out & up from my body. Doing my post surgery exercises (carefully). My face was fine.

Rare Lois R Posted February 25 #8634 Ā Share Posted February 25 I had to go for lab work yesterday and am able to see the results already. My A1C is REALLY GOOD.......5.7!!!! And the the Glucose number is really good too.....only 86. I think this new Diabetes Medicine must be affecting me....(in a good way). And my most important number is the Creatine (Kidney) and that is the best it has been in 3 months so I know that Dr is going to be happyš 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody Ā That sounds pretty bad, Melody -- and on only your third day!Ā š¢Ā On my TA cruise I was hobbling around after a fall in Rome, and it was hard enough to get around, but yours sounds worse. Fingers crossed no significant damage occurred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted February 26 Author #8641 Ā Share Posted February 26 Good pics, Melody!Ā Fun time had by all despite the "oopsies".Ā Ā Ā I did a "Melody" this afternoon at work - my one toe dragged at the top of the stairs and I went down.Ā Of course, it was my "bad" shoulder.Ā Why can't I fall in the opposite direction????Ā It has bothered me all day but I couldn't take any more Tylenol - the Arthritis formula is every 8 hours.Ā So, I'm just toughing it out for the rest of the day.Ā Ā I did a little job for my Tuscan owner.Ā She had a new slipcover for one of her dining room chairs delivered.Ā I said I'd put it on the chair in my spare time.Ā It was really tight and striped!Ā I got it as straight as I could, but I'll let it loosen a little and go back in a few days and do some more.Ā I sent her 2 photos of the chair to see how it came out.Ā She sent me 3 photos back:Ā one from the Piazza del Populo, one from a random walking street and one of a plate of tortellini al ragu alla Bolognese.Ā I sent back "I'm so jealous" and she replied with the snarky devil meme!!!Ā Ā She always does a couple days in Rome before driving to her villa.Ā Ā Some of my owners are trying to convince me that I have to come back next year.Ā It's going to be a really hard choice come November... Ā OOTD:Ā jeans, multi-plaid shirt, Olu Kai chukka boots.Ā A beautiful day up here!Ā But, tomorrow night comes the next stormĀ š 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PurpleHays Posted February 27 #8648 Ā Share Posted February 27 Hubby's hernia surgery went well. He is recuperating at his usual grumpy pace. Ā Lined up shore excursions for our next cruise (France/Spain in April). All new ports, so we are pretty excited. I need to get busy sewing a couple of new tops/dress for the trip. I'm such a procrastinator. Ā OK, y'all need to stop tripping! I don't like hearing all these injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
