Our kitty Siam while very friendly is a terror and had to reload the water gun yesterday, he likes to stand in front of our 75inch tv and attack it , Loki is a much more behaved kitten , but they look innocent while sleeping.

They are getting big!  Anything particular on the screen that Loki objected to?

Yes, I got the OK to give the boot the boot August 7.  Wasn’t sure what to expect.  Walking 100% weight bearing with the boot starting June 28 was surprisingly painful…so I was expecting no boot to be painful as well.  No, not painful, just stiff and clumsy.  I’d been told ankles took a long time for the swelling to go away…like up to a year…🙀  I can see the swelling has gone down some but I’m saying I see improvement over a three month period.  Slow improvement.

 

My PT told me yesterday that I probably only needed a couple more weeks of therapy.  That my range of motion and strength were total.  I have balance issues…but I’m not sure I could have stood on one leg and leaned over and touched the floor before the injury!!

 

So I guess I’ll just be patient and see how long it takes me to be able to walk without a hitch…never mind run.  And to say bye-bye to that cankle!!! 👎. Thank goodness here in Florida 99.9% of my shoes are water shoes with adjustable Velcro straps!!

 

Thanks for asking. 

I am happy to hear the boot is off. I would imagine it will improve with time. Hang in there and be patient.

Loki goes behind the tv , trouble maker is Siam , he just looks for a while then attacks, they are definitely getting big . We are going to Denver this weekend hopefully they will come out for pet sitter and hopefully they will not destroy much , they are either fighting, playing with toys or chasing each other .

This is great to read.  It is a process but sounds like you are near the finish line.

There was an announcement at 1:00am about the Northern Lights. I was actually asleep since we had a long day today, but Mike heard the announcement. 

 

From our balcony, but we kept getting the overhang in the photo, so we went up to deck 12. The ones from the front of the ship were better anyway, but it was freezing.🥶  These were taken with my S24 Ultra in night mode so nothing fancy.

 

 

 

 

 

This one has the rail from the ship in it.

Absolutely breathtaking. Happy Mike heard the announcement. I would have probably slept through it and would hate myself in the morning.

Good morning from North East England at 07.15am where it is 57°F and cloudy.

Nothing planned for today.

I hope everyone especially Dani @dani negreanu are safe and well and y'all have a lovely day.

Excellent photos from Mike.  Where was the ship located @ReneeFLL?

September 8. 
 

I started a live thread. About the Freedom.
 

A tad early. But this cruise is a long time coming   
 

Be safe.

I had a past cat that liked to go behind the TV. Little did I know she was chewing on wires while she was back there.😏

Unless I get something booked before, Freedom will be my next cruise.

No, she liked the coaxial cable carrying the cable TV signal. I lost count of how many times I had to change it.

Thanks, so am I. If it would have been my usual night where I'm awake at that time I would've heard it also, but probably wouldn't have gotten my butt out of bed to open the door to hear it. I had forgotten the captain had said there would be an announcement if they were spotted.

Thanks, but I took these pictures. We were about 5 hours out of Iceland on our way to Greenland. I'll see if I can find out a better location today.

Can you believe I was actually asleep at 1:00? So glad Mike heard the announcement. He said he's going to set his alarm for 1:00 to see if he can see anything tonight incase he misses an announcement.

Thankfully it didn’t end like Christmas Vacation.
