Cruzin Terri

Good morning to all. Happy Wednesday, Thank you to Sandi @StLouisCruisers for having the Daily and Fleet Report ready so bright and early today. Thank you to Roy @rafinmd for the Maps and to Vanessa @JazzyV for the lists. I am so glad that you are sleeping well and seem to have conquered the pain in your leg. Thank you to Tina @0106 for the meal recipe, Ann @cat shepard for the wine write-up and to Dixie @summer slope for the drink recipe. And last, but not least, to Graham @grapau27 for the decryption of the days we celebrate. Interesting quote. I have been to Juneau, Alaska. It was the summer of 2007. It was the first HAL cruise we took, but not our first cruse. That was on the Home Lines back in 1986 to Bermuda, when I swore I would never go on another cruise. So much for swearing! I will pass on the meal, since somehow Pesto does not agree with my tummy. I like Cuba Libre and had many while I was a student in Ponce, Puerto Rico many moons ago. The wine sounds yummy, but above my budget. Jacqui @kazu Thnking of you today and sending virtual hugs. Terry @smitty34877 You and your family are always in my prayers. Annie @marshhawk Thinking of you and Chuck and hope you are both doing well. Maureen @RMLincoln I am sorry for the latest setback with your DH and hope it is temporary. Prayers for all on the Cares list. Hope I didn’t miss anyone. Cheers to those celebrating and cruising. I am happy to report that all my communication equipment is up and running. The Hargray technician paid us a visit yesterday after another day of outage on Monday. I called and expressed my displeasure at their service yet again., This time they did something about it. So far all is working well. So we have a beautiful sunny day here in the Low Country of South Carolina. So far we are holding our own. Have a great day and as always, God Bless, Terri

Well, hello everyone. After a day and a half of no TV, no internet, and no phone, I am back up and running. I had a visit from Hargray and new equipment installed. I am back up and running. Didn’t mean not to post, but just got on line. Hope everyone is well. I will read all the posts and hopefully had time to post later. Time to make dinner. Terri

Good morning to all. Thank you to Sandi @StLouisCruisers for taking over the Fleet Report and Daily for the next few weeks, Thank you to Roy @rafinmd for the maps, Vanessa @JazzyV for the Cares and Celebrations list, to Tina @0106 for the recipe, to Ann @cat shepard for the wine explanation, and to Dixie @summer slope for the drink recipe. Thank you also to Graham @grapau27 for Father David’s sermon. We all appreciate your dedication to this thread. I am hoping that today is a quiet peaceful day. I was happy yesterday to see my house cleaner and now have sparkling house again. I am glad to have this back on schedule again. I do have a few loads of laundry to do and that will be dealt with over the next few days. DH is sorry he does not feel he can make the trip up to Virginia for the funeral. He just feels the ride is too long. I will include a note in the Mass card explaining our situation to his sons. Other than that we will just have a quiet Sunday at home. Have a great day everyone. God Bless, Terri

Thank you Graham

Annie, Thank you for your kind words. Terri

Good afternoon, i too had trouble accessing Cruise Critic both on Safari and on Edge. So I gave up. I was surprised when I came back a little while ago and was able to get back on. Thank you to Sandi, Roy, Vanessa, Ann, Dixie and Tina for your contributions to the Daily and Fleet Report. I like the Days and the quote by Helen Keller. I have not been to the port,. I am glad to report that all is calm here. Trying to make some decisions for the future. Today Jim received news that a childhood friend passed away. He had Alzheimer’s. The wake and funeral is in Virginia (DC area) and he doesn’t feel up to making the trip, So the best we can do is send flowers and a card to his sons. His wife passed in 2017. Prayers for all on the Cares List and cheers to all celebrating and cruising. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. God Bless, Terri

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO @dfish

Good morning to all. Thank you to Sandi, Roy, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie for all you do to keep the Daily and Fleet Report going. Interesting Days to remember and the quote is funny. i will pass on the food and drink today and I have not been to the destination. Yesterday was a much better day for us and that made life around here much calmer. We needed that. We never got to Costco on Wednesday as planned so we will try to do that today. @RMLincoln Maureen, my condolences on the passing of your DSIL. Glad all went well with DH’s procedure yesterday. @smitty34877 Terry, prayers for you and Tana and your family. Glad you had some help with your NH family and some time visiting with them. @ger_77 prayers for your DH @JazzyV Vanessa, I am thrilled that you have pain relief after your surgery. @rafinmd Roy, looks like the medical report is trending in the right direction. A good thing. @grapau27 Graham, thanks for the explanation of our days to celebrate. Cheeers to all celebrating and cruising. Hoping all have a wonderful day. God Bless, Terri

Good afternoon, Tried to post earlier but was unable to get connected. I will post more later but just want to give you an update on where we are I was able to finally get in touch with the doctor’s office today. We have an appointment for May 23. It was the earliest available. Better than Oct. 17. I was also able to speak to his nurse, who gave me her direct number for the future. I explained how I was trying to use the portal and that my messages had delivery failures after two days. After a week of this I was so frustrated that we ended up cancelling the trip. She told me the portal doesn’t work. Gee, what a surprise! I also told her that we were not sure how to administer the meds. She explained it all and I was satisfied with her answers. She was very nice and helpful. It is just too bad I couldn’’t connect with her sooner. Anyway, at present, DH is calm and does not need any of the meds. Only to be administered at the lowest possible dose when needed. So we are good to go on that. I am feeling better about the whole thing and doing better today. Thank you all for your advice and support. God Bless, Teri

Thanks Debbie. I know. We did the best we could at the time. Thanks for your support. Terri

I am not sure if it is the doctor or the staff member who relayed the message. I just know that this medicine is highly addictive and we have gotten no guidance on how to take it. I am not happy. I am going to try to get to the doctors office tomorrow and see if i can see him. There is only one other Neurologist in the area and most of his patients want to move to the one that Jim has. Not moving to another yet. Thanks for your support. Terri

I have had a horrible day. Last Thursday I made a call to the Doctor to ask for some help since DH was having anxiety issues about going on the trip. i also sent a message through the portal. There was no response. I again made another call and no response. Then last evening at 5:40 there was a call from the pharmacy to pick up some meds. I didn’t know if it was for DH or me. Well it was anti-anxiety meds for him. No phone call, nada. Too little too late. I am livid. If the response had been timely, we might be on our way to Rome. Instead i am just so angry at the way things turned out and not let DH feel he is to blame. I have cancelled everything and maybe I jumped the gun by doing it so quickly. Thanks for letting me vent. Terri

Good morning everyone. Happy Wednesday. Thank you to Sandi @StLouisCruisers for stepping up and filling in while Rich finishes up his cruising and Jacqui gets to start a new journey. Thank you to Roy @rafinmd for the maps, Vanessa @JazzyV for the lists. I hope you are still doing well and feeling better. Prayers for you. Thank you to the ladies in the F&B department. To Debbie @dfish for the meal recipe, to Ann @cat shepard for the wine expiation. I agree that it is a bit above my budget, and to Dixie @summer slope for the drink recipe. I like Mimosas and hope to have one soon. I have not been to the destination. Interesting quote and all three days are worthy of celebration. Well, today is the day we were supposed to drive to Jacksonville in preparation to fly to Rome tomorrow. To sad that I am sad would be an understatement. I had everything planned out and feel like the rug has been pulled out from under my feet. I am in the process of unpacking and putting everything away. I am trying not to show my disappointment too much, but it hurts. Thankfully, every reservation was refundable and we did not lose much money except for a few museum tickets, etc. that we bought. Today we will probably go to Costco for some essentials. We had put off going until our return from our trip, Since we’re not going, we might as well get our necessities. Prayers for all on the cares list, and cheers for those celebrating and cruising. Have a good Wednesday., God Bless, Terri

Good afternoon everyone. Thank you all for your concern. We are doing the best we can. @JazzyV Vanessa, I am so glad the surgery seems to have been successful. Also thank you for including me and Jim on the Cares List. i am trying to get in touch with the doctor so that I can see where we go from here. I felt that all was well with the last visit. Guess we all missed something. I will post more later. I have not read all the posts today but will do so. Just wanted to check in and check on Vanessa. Thanks to all for your support. Terri

Good evening to all of you. Thank you for all your words of encouragement. We know we made the right decision and will move on. Thank you for all your prayers. i don’t think I have the wherewithall to mention all of you but I appreciate all your kind thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Terri
