  1. Good morning, Just a quick note to all. Thank you to Jacqui, Roy, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie and Ann for your undying dedication to this thread. I am off to the foot doctor for a second injection. I have a neuroma on my right foot. Had an injection two weeks ago. It helped some, but not enough. Going to try another. It is raining and promises to keep doing so all day. I have to drive to Hilton Head to the doctor. Always lots of traffic. Rain makes it worse. Will try to post again later. Have a 9:45 appt. Have to get going. God Bless, Terri
  2. Hello everyone, Sorry for not posting for a while. Things have been hectic. Trying to get taxes done and other things around the house. It never ends,. Not sure if I mentioned that I sustained a rotator cuff tear when I fell in Barbados on Feb. 5. That makes it harder to do everything—especially since it is the right arm. Everything is a struggle. I am on a path to wean off the prednisone, but very slowly. DH is doing as well as he can. So far so good, but must be reminded of everything. Thank you to all of you for your contributions. I read the posts when I am able. Must comment that I have had the Santa Margherita Sparkling Rose and it is quite good. I was able to get it at our local Publix for a while. They don’t seem to carry it any more. I hope everyone is doing fine. Even though I am not posting regularly, I do remember all of you in my daily prayers. God Bless, Terri
  3. Just checking in real quick. i have been super busy and will try better to post. As for my friend, Anita, I have no news. I have no idea where she is or where to even to start looking for her,. She is not in the hospital, they will not even tell me is she was ever there. I haven’t called the Doctor’s office because they will not give me any info due to privacy concerns. She does not answer her phone and the cell phone number I have is the wrong number. So i am completely lost. @JazzyV, Vanessa, if you wish you can take her off the list if you wish. i am sure she needs prayers but I am at a total loss. I don’t travel in the same circle of friends as she does so I don’t know them. She and I are linked because our husbands were schoolmates in High School. There’s more to this story but I won’t go into it. i want to help her, but if I can’t find her, I can’t help. Thanks for the prayers. Terri
  4. Good evening to all. Sorry I did not post earlier. We are still in Jacksonville and will leave to go home tomorrow morning. This afternoon I had X-rays of both hands, which show severe arthritis. This explains the reason for the pain I have. At least we now know that the pain is not caused by the PMR—or so I think. The MRI, on the other hand, shows that I have a partial rotator cuff tear. I was able to see the report but I have not yet heard from the doctor. I have a feeling that I will get a referral to an orthopedic surgeon. Not sure if there is a way to deal with this non-surgically. I will probably hear from someone tomorrow about a referral. Just when I thought I was all done for a while! So now the question is, Will we be able to go to Italy in five weeks? It would be pretty sad to have to cancel this trip again. i’ll keep you posted as I get more info. I tried to get in touch with my friend Anita today. Called the hospital. They do not have her listed. Said that she probably went home. Can’t believe that. Called both home and cell phone. No answer. Don’t know who took her to the hospital. Her DH passed away in August of 2021 so she is alone. I just know it is a friend, but not who. it seems strange to be discharged so soon after a kidney removal. Prayers continue. So that is the state of affairs here. Thank you all for your prayers and concern. God Bless, Terri
  5. While this thread is still open I just want to post again and add a few things. I just finished reading through all 7 pages. This is a first. Don’t remember a thread this long. Anyway, here goes. I’m late to the party. @Quartzsite Cruiser Happy Belated birthday @Overhead Fred Happy Belated birthday to Mitzi @grapau27 I am sorry for the reception you received from Sarah’s mam. Time to move on. You have gone above and beyond. Try to forgive. She is in a bad place right now. @Nickelpenny I am sorry for your loss of Martina. It is so hard to be away and have that happen. @fruitmachine Welcome to our group. Hope you will post often and find a happy place here. God Bless, Terri
  6. Greetings from Jacksonville, We will be her until Thursday. I saw the Rheumatologist today and found out all the things I am doing wrong. I was very pleased with the Consultation. First of all I cannot get any more Covid vaccinations. They are causing flare-ups working against my getting the PMR under control. Part of the reason why I keep getting better and then getting worse. Secondly, no more alcohol until this is under control and I am totally off the Prednisone. No one ever told me not to drink. All I drink is wine, but now that is not to be. I will do what I am told. Thirdly, I am on a course to wean myself off the prednisone at one mg at a time. Very slowly. I am looking forward to the day when Prednisone is a thing of the past. I have had a busy day and will have another tomorrow. Have X-rays and MRI. Both late in the day. So we will go home on Thursday morning. I have not had the opportunity to check on Anita and will try to do so this evening. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. God Bless, Terri
  7. I did not have the basic drinks package. I was cruising with the old O Life program. I had no package at all. Drinks were free.
  8. Thank you all for all your well wishes today. I managed to get my blood work done this afternoon instead of tomorrow morning. That gives me time for breakfast before the Rheumatologist’s appointment. Glad I got to Jacksonville on time. Wasn’t sure I was going to make it. I have not gotten an update on Anita, but will try to find out tonight or tomorrow. If I were home I would have been at Hilton Head Hospital to find out what was happening. Thank you for your kind thoughts about DD DBIL Eugene. He was so special. God Bless, Terri
  9. Good morning, If I don’t post now, I will not get to it later. Many things to report today. First and foremost we have to go to Jacksonville. Tomorrrow, I finally have my Rheumalologist appointment. I think it is a little late, but we will see what he has to say and where we go from here. Also a GYN appointment follows. Secondly, my good friend, Anita, is having surgery today to have her right kidney removed. She has a malignancy in it. She has always been a very small, thin person, and right now she is down to 74 pounds. Please pray for her. And finally, today is my DD DBIL, Eugene’s birthday in heaven. He passed away in October 2021. As most of you know, he was a special needs person, being cognitively impaired from a brain damage at the age of 4. Jim and I were his guardians for 40 years after his Dad passed away. Happy Birthday in heaven, Eugene! There is an interesting article in the New York Times regarding the 4 year anniversary of Covid being declared a pandemic and how the US death rate was so high. Interesting reading. @dfish Happy Birthday to DS Sue. Thank you all who participate and work so hard to make this thread what it is. God Bless, Terri
  10. I was offered drinks while playing slots in the casino. I just gave a small tip to the server. Terri
  11. @grapau27 Graham, sorry I am late with this, but my deepest condolences on the passing of Sarah’s dad. Prayers for him and your whole family. Terri
  12. Hello everyone, Glad to be back. A number of incidents have kept me away. Too many to list here. I have not been able to follow all the events but will try to catch up. Hope everyone has a good day and Happy Mothers Day to all our friends in the UK. God Bless, Terri
  13. Good Afternoon everyone, We made it home yesterday and I was so tired. We just had sandwiches for dinner. Too tired to cook and too tired to go out. Thank you to all who contribute to this thread and keep it going. Today we are expecting the area rug for the living room. We ordered it in August and was supposed to have it by Thanksgiving. That didn’t happen. Then it was Christmas. It finally came in while we were on our cruise. The phone call yesterday said they would be delivering it between 11:30 am and 1 pm. Well, it is now 1:28 pm and there is no sign of them. We will see what happens. I spent the morning cleaning the Living Room floor. It hadn’t been done since before we went on our cruise. Don’t want a new rug on a dirty floor. As for my visit to the Mayo. There was no tear or fracture of my shoulder. Just arthritis. My PMR numbers are down to normal. However, the Doc wants to stay on the Prednisone until I see the Rheumatologist. We will see where we go from there. I am hoping to be off the meds all together in a short time. Hopefully with no flare-ups. We’ll see what time the delivery guys show up. Have a great day everyone and thank you all for your concerns. Terri
  14. Then it is a moot point. At least that is the way I took it. You could always call AMEX and get a clarification. Terri
