A couple of things about my mom's rotator cuff surgery. Unique, to only my mom. Apparently, she had bone spurs somewhere that severed both of them. She realized that she could no longer lift her arms up high. She told me that her whole side had turned purple. (Probably from blood draining down) 🙄 My reaction was OMG. She said it didn't hurt. And didn't go to the doctor. 

 

She had shoulder surgery on one shoulder and they removed the bone spur and tried to re-attach it. It didn't really work. And then when she moved up to the mountains, she found a new doctor who wanted to try replacing it with pig cartilage 🙄 After I don't know how many hours, he came out and said, "Your mom said you are a biologist, and I wanted to show you photos of the surgery!" He was all very excited. I said, "Okay. Fascinating." 

 

It didn't work either. About 2 days later she went into afib, and fainted. (Ambulance) And she spent a few more days in the hospital. (In her 80's). The shelf grabber was a helpful thing. I just thought the whole thing was weird. 

 

Best wishes for a wonderful recovery for Linda. @Sea Dog  And I am glad that Mike is doing so well after his. @ReneeFLL


Thanks for sharing your story. I had no idea about using pig cartilage. Linda also had bone spurs but I’m not sure how bad they were. The surgeon said her rotator cuff was a medium size tear.

You know you have been at your rental long enough, when your wife starts getting Amazon deliveries here.

Reminds me of when I was on my ten-week stint of cruises... the chlorine from the pools/hot tubs was making my swimsuits disintegrate, so I ordered replacements online and had them delivered to the Airbnb where I was staying for an overnight between ships.

I cannot help but wonder, if I had been on a 9 month world cruise, and what if I had discovered the lump in my neck at 5 months, at what point do you leave the ship to get home to seek treatment. Who and when does that decision get made? 

 

You would have to decide.  It's your neck on the line.

I walked around the buffet this morning. The smaller buffet for Diamond guests.

You can walk over to the larger buffet area from our side. The photo below is their  yoghurt, cheese and cold cuts area. They have all the other regulars spots like omlet, crepes, and smoothie stations.

This was the most interesting find for breakfast.

I like the proteins that they have for breakfast. Mornings on RCI are such a carb fest. And plenty of those carbs are poor choice ones.

Almost had a sunrise.

This is the most sun we have had the last few days. Unfortunately it has been cool, and if the sun was out it would be warmer. Currently it is overcast.

Still hanging by the pool. Thankfully it is heated.

With the empty pool Owen and I decided to throw the football.

Lucy, is that you?

No, this is her at home.

I have seen them on the Allure, Jewel and now the Adventure. I’ll check the Icon and Odyssey next month and February. I don’t remember seeing them on the Odyssey last month, but I didn’t look. I’ll post a picture after we get home.

 

I guess I didn’t see it.

You can find it on page 7 under the title of March 15,1960 The Greatest Ever Basketball Game Played.

I need help planning what to do for our port days on our next cruise which is in May to the Bahamas.

 

In Nassau we just want a beach day with snorkeling.  I was going to book Blue Lagoon but that is no longer available at this time.  There is Pearl Island but the snorkeling is only a 30 min. guided trail.  On Cocoa Cay we are just going to the Chill Island part and hopefully find chairs in the shade for the day.

For Grand Bahamas I am thinking the caves and beach excursion that is offered.  We have never been to the Bahamas before for so I need ideas.  We like beaches with amenities and hopefully good snorkeling.  We would like to avoid most of the vendors in our face as much as possible.  I really appreciate any help.

Hi Greg:How is Linda feeling ?


Actually pretty good. The nerve block is wearing off but her pain is not bad at all. Still having problems getting a good sleep as she can’t get comfortable. She doesn’t need the ice machine 24 hours now just for 30 minutes 4 times a day. Hopefully the pain will not be bad. I’m sure she will feel it when she starts physical therapy. Hope you are well Lenny!

Same for us. Cool and overcast, and no sunrise.  Waves crashing at the beach. 

 

 

The pool and spa heater quit working overnight, so now we have to run it in service mode, and manually switch between the pool and spa.  Kids said the pool was getting a little cool.

And Daryl?  Somehow, he has evidently ended up in the hospital.
