Rare P&O SUE Posted February 6 #55080 Share Posted February 6 Morning all, a rare lie in for me today, after briefly waking at 3am I woke at 7.37! Amazing, I feel all behind now! Luckily John is putting a mirror up for a work mate after work so he’ll be home a bit later so I’ll catch up on everything hopefully! It seems pressure has been put on my manager as I had a look at my work emails and she’s asking for any definite dates we want for holidays to be sent to her by the 16th Feb so at least I can move my cruise before final payment date now if I can’t get it, Phew! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad to hear Pike had died. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s nothing on I’ll often watch an episode on ‘Gold’ now! Of course Ian Lavender was on Eastenders for a while too, in the days when I used to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted February 6 #55083 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Currently on QM2 travelling across the Indian Ocean. We flew to Cape Town last Wednesday and boarded on Thursday. We were in Durban Sunday and visit Reunion and then Mauritius. Having a really good time on the ship, there is so much more space and quiet corners than most standard design ships. Service is excellent and food good but choice is a bit restrictive in the mdr, photo below shows our variety of steaks for 2 (fillet, sirloin and Louisiana ribs) in the Veranda restaurant last night. The only down side is that we are on Norovirus restrictions with all of the implications that apply especially to the self service areas.

Snow Hill Posted February 6 #55084 Share Posted February 6 On 2/5/2024 at 2:41 PM, Snow Hill said: The dentist wasn’t able to take an X-ray as too swollen, I have been prescribed 2 lots of antibiotics to take 3 times a day for the 5 days, should my eye close I need to go A&E for intravenous ABs. Strictly no alcohol whilst on them. Dentist thinks it maybe a failure in one of the 2 teeth I have had root canal done on, hence why no initial warning pain. Appointment scheduled for next week to take x-ray and identify the problem. Finished up going to A&E last night when the bag under my eye go quite large, so followed dentists instructions should that happen, after 11 hours sitting in A&E finally saw a doctor at 9:00 am. The doctor referred me to maxillofacial doctor who after examination and an X-ray said rather than an abscess it was cellulitis and has admitted me to hospital for up to 3 days for IV Antibiotics, I wasn’t expecting that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my first dose of IV early this afternoon, every 6 hours, so midnight and 6:00am, doesn’t tale long to drip through. Consultant said he would also drain a small abscess on the gum. Hopefully I should be out by Friday. 🤞 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual you haven't done things by half! Seriously though I hope you begin to recover quickly now you are home. Being ill is bad enough, but being so far away is ten times worse. Take care and have plenty of rest until you are properly better 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted February 6 #55097 Share Posted February 6 @Snow Hill I'm glad you're getting it sorted quickly. The IV antibiotics do the job much faster than oral. Every time I read a post you're always busy in the garden, so take advantage of your enforced hospital stay and relax a little. Get well soon.

I hope that you are soon back home and feeling better. I can imagine sitting in A&E for 11hours followed by 3 days in hospital hooked up to IV drugs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9265359 Posted February 6 #55099 Share Posted February 6 This afternoon was spent at Teresitas beach a short bus ride along the coast from Santa Cruz. For anyone on Azura or any other ship calling in Tenerife then it is easy to get to on the 910 bus from the road just outside the cruise terminal - less than 2 euro each way, pay on the bus contactless, a bus every 10 minutes, and just ride it to the end of the line so no way to get lost! The beach is absolutely fabulous, sandy with calm warm water because there is a breakwater a short distance out keeping the Atlantic at bay, and a number of food and drink kiosks that are spread along the length of the beach renting sunbeds and parasols (yes those are needed here) for 6 euro a set of two, and incredibly selling food and drink for no more than the prices in town. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
