Rare arxcards Posted June 23 #155 Share Posted June 23 Midway through the last quarter, it looked as if the Giants had a sniff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 23 Author #156 Share Posted June 23 Glad the Swans held on. They have been in a lot of games that are close and/or they are slow to start. Maybe they need to feel some danger of losing before they get serious? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no Mic, I didn't know. What did you do to your Achilles? I am glad to read that you are recovering nicely. Take care of yourself 🙂 Swans are looking good!

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 25 #161 Share Posted June 25 It is a long saga. I tore my achilles tendon back in September last year, I was in a cast for 2 weeks and a boot for another 10. We cancelled our 7 week US trip which was October and November. My tendon only healed 20%, I now needed reconstruction surgery, which was scheduled for late March. We did our trip to South America and Antarctica (January /February) along with a trip to Egypt in early March, but have cancelled a Japan trip in April and a European trip in June, with a July trip postponed to next year. I had the surgery and have been in a boot ever since. I was able to go weight bearing 2 weeks ago so could get rid of the crutches. Am hoping to be out of the boot in the next few weeks. Our next overseas trip is the US in September, but am doing a few domestic trips now I am off the crutches. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always hard when you don't heal as expected and have to undergo even more treatment. We will be in Japan in April, on Princess. We could have been shipmates! Where in the US will you be in September--anywhere near Albuquerque? I doubt it but if you are in the neighborhood, we'd love to see you. But we leave Sept 18 for Michigan and then on to Boston for a Canada/NE cruise. Sounds like the recovery is going well, I hope it continues and you are all healed soon.

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 26 #163 Share Posted June 26 Yeah although our Japan cruises are in February on Princess and March on HAL next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our US trip has us in LA ans San Francisco for a week before going to Washington and doing a tour of Historical sites and the Blue Ridge and Smokey Ranges. Then we have a cruise out of Port Canaveral and a B2B out of Fort Lauderdale doing the East, West and South Caribbean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your tendon is fully healed for that trip--lots of walking. SF has some great spots to see--Lombard Street, Chinatown, the old Ferry Terminal, Alcatraz and more. DC too, no lack of things to see and do there. You can get to many of the sites using the metro but some still involve some walking. Pace yourselves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 27 #166 Share Posted June 27 Will do, I still have a couple of months to improve my fitness and stamina as well as the strength in my leg and ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 27 Author #167 Share Posted June 27 Yeah, that should give you plenty of time to build up your leg and ankle. Maybe try riding a bike before you go too. That's a low impact activity that will still let you build strength and stamina. I have a new knee issue, so walking is hard but I can ride my bike with a lot less pain! You can probably rent bikes in both SF and DC. That might be another way to deal with any remaining pain. Although, lots of hills in SF 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 29 #172 Share Posted June 29 Full time, Freo won 15.9 (99) to 14.14 (98). Close hut they have a loss after giving them too much of a head start. They need to stop the slow starts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good, but they need to play better. Maybe getting complacent??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
