Finished with engines.

This phrase signaled the end of the voyage. So it is for me. from now on I will have to be a lurker on this site.

Oct 5 on QM2 , mid channel, all dressed up 5.15p.m on way to Chart room, I had a stroke, fortunately in public area so found at once, off loaded in Zeebruge, horror story, but 6 days later "rescued by" various Depts of Cunard Care, and flown back to Port Charlotte.

Will not be able to cruise solo again, very depressing.

So it is goodbye to all, may you have fair winds , calm seas, and safe harbours.

I'm sorry to hear this Lynn, I hope you are recovering well.

Sorry to hear of your untimely medical emergency and that your cruising days may be over.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

What you will need after you are better is a cruise buddy. My husband sailed many times after his stroke that left him in a wheelchair. Don't give up and Gods speed getting better

So sorry to hear this Lynn. I'm sure I speak for many on here, you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Bell Boy :)

So sorry to hear of your stroke, thank goodness you were found straightaway.

I hope you will continue to post, I have always enjoyed your honest, warts and all posts.

As gofroggy suggests, maybe there is a cruise buddy out there to travel with. I hope so.

All the best with your recovery,

Sarah

I'm sorry Lynn. I hope you make a good recovery. It's encouraging that you are able to type this message so soon.

I hope your cruising days are not over, that you can find a way to keep cruising.

So sorry to hear your news. Here's to a full recovery and, as has been suggested, a cruise buddy so you can keep cruising.

So sorry to hear your news. Here's to a full recovery and, as has been suggested, a cruise buddy so you can keep cruising.

So sorry to hear your news. Do hope your recovery is going well. You never know, you may be able to return to cruising at some stage in the future. Think positive Lynn. We are all with you.

Regards Pat

Never say never! You may cruise again but in the meantime, take care of yourself! Wishing you all the best!

get well soon

Wishing you a good recovery, Lynn. The friend that accompanies you on your next cruise will enjoy your company on board as we have on this board. Please keep us posted. Paul

I have always enjoyed reading all of your posts and refuse to believe that there will be no more. Find yourself a great cruising companion and sail once again across the seas.

Hi Lynn. So very sorry you have been ill. I wondered why we hadn't heard from you after your voyage - thanks for letting us know you are home safe and sound. I hope that if you feel up to it, you will continue to post here rather than just lurking. You have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. In addition to enjoy reading your posts, I've learned a lot from you.

I'm happy to read that Cunard Care came through for you and facilitated your return home.

Rest and recover. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Best wishes,

Salacia

Best wishes and something good may come like finding a sailing partner:)

you are not finished with engines yet.........run at reduced RPM,s ;)

Lynn, don't give up on your dreams - let's hope and pray that you'll be able to sail again. As Salacia said, you've got lots of experience to share too.

Lynn sorry to hear that. As others have said don't give up hope as Im sure you will be back with us again in future.

God Bless. :)

Here's to your continued recovery and creative solutions allowing you to get out on the seas again.

We're so sorry to read this news. Wishing you all the very best for a speedy and full recovery.

Lynn,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. As other have said, don't count your sailing days as over. Spending time with you on QM2 this past summer was a sheer delight for Elizabeth and for me, and someone as lively and charming you should have no difficulty finding a friend eager to join you on your next ocean voyage.

Until then, we wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you on board again soon.

John and Elizabeth

Sorry to hear this news Lynn.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and hope you may be able to cruise again some day.

Dear Lynn,

As I said in my last email, my thoughts are with you for a speedy and full recovery.

Your post, that started this thread, shows progress already in couple of weeks since your email with the very upsetting news, and is an encouraging indication that all will be well with time. I take it that it is a sign that your health is improving daily.

As you read the posts in this thread, you can see that the regular posters here are sending you many best wishes for great good health, and are delighted to see you posting again.

Sincere best wishes, great to see you posting here :)

Lynn,

We met in 2011 during the Victoria Panama Canal cruise. I've always enjoyed reading your experience and perspectives as you've cruised. I hope to see you posting here in the future and perhaps on another Cunard voyage. :)

This phrase signaled the end of the voyage. So it is for me.

Lynn

best wishes Jimsgirl, keep your pecker up, regards Roscoe
