Surely they told her what the X-rays showed. Praying it's nothing serious.🙏 Sandi, nothing on my chart or doctor call. I'm hoping that's good news. Thanks for thinking of me. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted February 7, 2023 #103 Share Posted February 7, 2023 3 hours ago, Cruzin Terri said: Good evening all from the Beautiful Marriott Biscayne Bay in Miami. We had an uneventful drive from Titusville to Miami and almost made it without a hitch until I missed a turn getting off I-95 and ended up at the port. After a tour of the port we had to get on the dreaded MacArthur Causeway. What a mess! Anyway, we finally got to the hotel and we have lovely accommodations. We were upgraded to a Junior Suite overlooking the port. The hotel just opened their lounge again after being closed for three years due to Covid and is now on the Lobby floor. It just opened this weekend and we were one of the first guests. We spoke to the F&B manager and made some suggestions for which we were rewarded with a treat when we returned to our room. Terri, I'm glad you made it to Miami safely. 2 hours ago, bennybear said: Good day and thanks for all the kind words. I found a chatty cardinal today strangely comforting. @kazutake good care, wear what you like! I have enjoyed the photos of Bruges, a place I suggest you visit. Never can you had enough of their chocolates, and their food was sublime not to mention Kriek! And then the wonderful tea lattes! @Seasick Sailor hoping nothing is broken! Today is DDs birthday, hard to believe I have a child that age, lol! the spinners visited yesterday! Brenda, that's a great picture. 1 hour ago, kochleffel said: When I got home this afternoon, I changed into pajamas and got into bed. It wasn't a difficult or especially long drive, but I was awake past midnight last night--loud packing in nearby cabins after the end of the late show in the theater--and up at 6:00 a.m. in order to be at the MDR when it opened for breakfast at 6:30. The drive did take about an hour longer than usual because I stopped more frequently, with two pairs of stops that were less than an hour apart when I felt that I needed to get out of the car for a bit, and a longer lunch break than I would usually take. Welcome, home. 21 minutes ago, Seasick Sailor said: Sandi, nothing on my chart or doctor call. I'm hoping that's good news. Thanks for thinking of me. Joy, I also hope that means good news.

Seasick Sailor Posted February 7, 2023 #104 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I volunteered at a hospital for quite a few years. We always heard of weird things happening during a full moon, especially insomnia. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted February 7, 2023 #105 Share Posted February 7, 2023 @Seasick SailorWhen I was in boarding school back in the EARLY 70's, actually it was a finishing school, but I got thrown out before I was finished, any way, I was on a school bus, in the back being my usual goofy self, I was laughing while reaching up, and ducked down, but my muscles forgot to move with my bones, and I ripped the muscles on my right side, The school thought my pain was my appendix, and since it was a foreign school and I was not fluent in the language, I never could get them to understand, that the pain was in the muscles. After about 3 weeks, the pain went away, sort of, but there was lump in my side. When I got back to the states, ,my doctor asked me what happened, I told him and he said, well we can fix that lump. How I asked, he said simply re rip the muscles and tape your body for about 6 weeks. I guess fortunately I gained enough weight that the lump no long shows. I hope that all you got was a bone bruise and not something broken. I know that hurts, but when it comes to ribs, unless it's stabbed something internally, they will try to mobilize it, by using tape or wrap. I have been worried about you, as you, like so many here are quite stoic, and think of self last. I hope you get a good report. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Terri Posted February 7, 2023 #106 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Well I can add my name to the list of those having trouble sleeping. The last two nights have been terrible. i don’t know whether it was the full moon, or the fact that I am on Prednisone again, or the fact that I did all the driving from home to Miami. DH does very little driving these days so it falls on me. I think I have some nervousness about it and it keeps me awake. Well, now we are here and the car is safely tucked away in the hotel garage for the next 12 days. Hopefully, i will sleep better tonight. Good night to all and God Bless, Terri 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted February 7, 2023 #107 Share Posted February 7, 2023 @Cruzin TerriI am the driver for long distance and two lanes, and highways, because DH lost the vision in his right eye, and lost peripheral vision, and he has major blind spots. I too stress out when doing Highway driving. You have had a lot happen over the last few months. I'm thinking that another cruise for you is exactly what you need. Enjoy, Bon Voyage, hope it's stress free! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that the Hawkes Bay area is the 2nd largest wine region in NZ, so that is most likely what we'll do. (and pick up some Marlborough wines in a grocery store). 😄 @Cruising-along I had a look at the website of the Port Chalmers supermarket, they have the Oyster Bay range of wine at $16.99 this week. This is a small supermarket , larger supermarkets probably have a better price. When will you be in NZ, which ship? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruising sister Posted February 7, 2023 #113 Share Posted February 7, 2023 There seems to be a few of us on the Grand Australian cruise next year. I am both excited and afraid at the same time. It will help that some nice people from this group will be with me too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Hudson Posted February 7, 2023 #116 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Put me on the list of permanent drivers. Bill’s car is a giant, in my opinion, and I hate driving it. But it is the only car he can get in and out of comfortably. Katherine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
