Lots of warnings on the news about storms tonight. There has already been some flooding. Supposedly the most rain in a single day since 1977!
I just got an email that a section of the parkway I need to take tomorrow (called the "bathtub" because it floods often, despite pumps to avoid that) for my Cardiology appointment, will close at 10am or earlier due to anticipated flooding. Everyone stay safe!

Checking out Instagram a while ago and saw a picture of Ren at the game yesterday. What a runner he is!
I believe they were playing a Mexican team. There are 15 countries represented at the Adidas Generation Cup.
Thanks so much Vanessa! I'm sorry about the amount of walking for you today. I hope you can put your feet up and rest those legs tonight, and get some sleep. Does any pain killer help you? I hope your upcoming surgery relieves you of this pain permanently.
Great photo of Ren!
I've only been taking Gabapentin, which is supposed to help nerve pain. My PCP added Cymbalta, another med for nerve pain, but it gave me headaches and dry mouth, so I stopped it (I also read horror stories of people on it long term trying to get off. It's also used for depression). Ibuprofen doesn't help it. And I haven't had anything stronger, like a narcotic type medication.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @kazu @richwmn and maps @rafinmd.
Ferrets are ok. I don't know the produce manager at my usual grocery store, but they have a nice assortment. I like the occasional PB&J(am) sandwich. Good quote. The meal sounds yummy. Pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Townsville.
It has been pouring rain here since last night, with thunder at times. There are flood watches. This afternoon late and tonight are expected to be worse, with rain, hail and higher winds, and possibly a tornado watch. At least it's not snow, like the northeast is going to get. I've been up since around 3:45 AM. I had an early appointment and knew the parkway would be bad with the rain. Luckily there was a little lull when I left, but raining hard when I got to the hospital. No handicapped parking spaces to be had. And the elevators near the office were out, supposedly since last Wednesday! So much more walking was involved. My hearing and tinnitus are about the same. Then I went to get lab work, some of which is already coming back. I ran home for a quick minute, then off to PT. Oh the pain - too much walking, rain, who knows?
@seagarsmoker You can have some of our rain!
@StLouisCruisers Ren and his team seem to be doing well. The stocking is gorgeous!
@cat shepard Good luck with jury duty. I'm sure Bindi wonders what's going on.
@dfish Sorry about the eye. I'd think allergies would affect both. Could you have pink eye?
@smitty34877 I'm sorry to hear that Tana had a rough night and is coughing. I hope it's not pneumonia again. Good that the hospice nurse may take a look at her.
@aliaschief Beautiful pictures. I'm glad it's such a great cruise for you. And you're sharing with Dailyites who want to see!
@summer slope I'll add Mike and Sue to the Care List.
@Nickelpenny Sorry you didn't feel well enough to watch the launch last night. And to hear your knee x-rays report. Sadly I'm there with you, with a recommended left knee replacement.I had many steroid injections which stopped working. Then Synvisc, which didn't help. And because of my issues with the right leg, I've abused the left leg lately. I hope your other knee can qualify for the clinical trial.
@marshhawk I hope your appointment with the oral surgeon goes well.
@RMLincoln I'm doing the happy dance about DH's eye results after surgery!
@bennybear I'm drooling over those chocolates.
Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit!
No Tom Foolery here, and no April Fool fooling of anyone. Kind of sad Marilyn quote. I could like a charcuterie board. Yes to the drink and pass on the wine. I haven't been to Tokyo. Being an Apple person (except my PC), I'll salute today in history.
It's been cloudy and raining, although there's a break in the rain now. Good sleeping weather, if one can sleep. Also storms tomorrow and Wednesday, and snow flakes Thursday and Friday. I have an ENT appointment tomorrow, and Cardiology on Wednesday, plus PT 2 days. I'm trying to get laundry done today, and also still sorting in the dining room. I have a lot of depression glass. I've already gotten rid of some when I had my DM's belongings auctioned, but still have too much. Also I need to find a riser for the upstairs commode, for after surgery.
@cat shepard I used to want to do jury duty and was never called.
@StLouisCruisers I'll support sourdough day, although I haven't been able to make any bread since last summer, since I can't stand for any length of time. I take my sourdough starter out of the fridge about once a month to feed it. I like your rabbits! Thanks for posting Lenda's photos.
@kazu Yay for sunshine and for finding a sitter for Ivan. It is hard having someone new in your home, but prayers it'll be ok.
@ottahand7 April 1 is a sad memory day for you. Hugs.
@RMLincoln I hope DH Richard's eye appointment goes well. Sorry to hear that DSIL's family need to make hard decisions. Condolences on the loss of two people who were like family.
@quilty964 The only hard part of sourdough can be getting the starter going at first, so that it's good and healthy. There can be activity at the beginning, that then disappears, but that's from bacteria you don't want. Once you get a good starter, it can usually be revived, even if neglected in the fridge.
@1ANGELCAT I'm glad you had a nice brunch. While BFF and I were at one yesterday, the table next to us was already scheduling for Mother's Day!
@bennybear Excellent photos from Tokyo.
@ger_77 So sad about Gord. Bless you for dropping everything to be there with Ollie. Condolences to his family and friends. She is very lucky to have you and Maurice as friends.
@aliaschief It looks like you're having an amazing time!
Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good evening. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate. I haven't used a bunsen burner since college. I'll salute Cesar Chavez and don't know any medievalists. Interesting quote. The meal sounds ok, pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to today's port.
After a cloudy start, it's gotten partly sunny and up to 60F. Then rain tonight and the next 3 days. I had a late start to the day. I slept about 3 hours, and then fell asleep sitting up for 2 hours. It was 10:30 when I woke up. So after a shower, I watched services online. BFF and I went out to a buffet for early dinner. Now I feel like a nap after that large Italian meal. It's been a bad day pain wise, so maybe some time in the recliner would help.
@sailingdutchy Bon Voyage!
@RedneckBob Welcome Home! Great sunrise photo.
@kazu I hope you've found the right sitter for Ivan.
@dfish I hope your beef wellington turned out well. I've always wanted to make one.
@aliaschief Gorgeous photos yesterday and today. Thanks for sharing.
@Nickelpenny I'm glad to hear your cold seems to be leaving.
@cunnorl Happy Birthday to your DS!
@ger_77 Sorry there isn't better news about Gord; continued prayers. Easter at your house sounds like fun!
@kochleffel I hope you continue to feel better every day.
@Vict0riann I hope DD's appointment goes well, and that you are able to cruise.
@Quartzsite Cruiser Nice photos. Safe travels tomorrow or Tuesday.
@bennybear Excellent photos as usual. Thanks.
@Cruising-along Thanks for sharing the photo of you all.
@lazey1 So good to hear that you had a good cruise and are feeling well. Sorry about the weather for embarkation and debarkation, but it happens and those people yelling need to understand it's mother nature, not HAL.
Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the FR/Daily @kazu @richwmn and maps @rafinmd.
I will salute most doctors and Earth Hour/Day. I always fold laundry as soon as the dryer stops, in order to minimize any wrinkles. I'm not sure what to make of the quote, but it is from Oscar Wilde, so I'll take it with a grain of salt. The meal sounds good. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Rio. A good deal was had on buying Alaska.
It's cloudy and gloomy looking here, 48F. Rain almost all of next week. I slept a couple of hours, then a couple more later this morning (I had taken benadryl for my injection). Mornings seem to be the worst. Once I get out of bed, I have lots of leg pain, so I've been staying in bed until quite late. It eases up a bit later in the day. I am so tired of not being able to do anything. Sorry to whine.
@ocean sounds Bon Voyage!
@Suslor Happy Birthday! Welcome home.
@cruzn single Happy Birthday!
@USN59-79 Happy 61st Anniversary to you and Sara!
@lazey1 Welcome home!
@summer slope I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I hope DH's bruise isn't too painful.
@aliaschief Thanks for the great photos from Angkor Wat.
@Denise T I hope Chase doesn't require any more treatment for the sarcoma and that it doesn't come back.
@StLouisCruisers Lovely Rio photos. I'd like to get to see the Christ the Redeemer statue one day.
@Seasick Sailor I'm glad Allen got his prescription approved. And good news that Oliver seems ok.
@ger_77 Ollie is lucky to have you in her life. I hope Gord is able to be extubated soon.
@ottahand7 Thanks for sharing the Rio photos.
@Nickelpenny I can sympathize with you about your cold; feel better soon! Good news about the cruise. What procedure are you having done, if you don't mind sharing? Nice photo from Angkor Wat.
@RMLincoln Sorry to hear that DSIL was transferred back to the hospital; I hope it's nothing too serious.
@Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos from Petropolis and Rio.
@luvteaching Hugs.

Good evening. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Blessed Good Friday to those who celebrate.
I think we take virtual vacations looking at everyone's photos of the different ports. I salute Mom & Pop businesses. Mermaids are fun creatures. Typical Capote quote. I like the meal (nice and low carb). Pass on the drink and the wine costs too much. I haven't been to Nuuk. A good day in history - I enjoyed seeing the terra cotta warriors when I was in China.
It's a nice sunny day, 51F, quite windy. Rain tomorrow. I didn't get much sleep, but stayed in bed watching tv and fell back asleep for 2 hours until 9:30. Then I had to hustle to get ready to go to PT. I really didn't feel like going, but I went. Then picked up some meds at the pharmacy. I had to use the rollator going into the pharmacy as a cane wasn't enough. Then BFF came over. I didn't feel like going anywhere, so he picked up fish sandwiches from a nearby church fish fry, and we had an early dinner. He helped me move a few things and put the swags back up in the DR.
Bon Voyage to @Smmessineo, @POA1 & @Huskerchick!
@StLouisCruisers Great Nuuk photos. I'm glad DD is safely home.
@summer slope @cat shepard @dfish Thanks for the drink, wine and meal postings.
@kazu Sorry to hear of the flooding and power outage. Thank goodness you have a generator. I hope you can find the perfect person to dog sit.
@Seasick Sailor Oh no on Oliver being sick and throwing up that dental placker. I hope he's ok. So sad to hear about your friend's Mom and your other friend with lung issues. I heard about that cement truck driver; I hope he gets the harshest sentence available.
@1ANGELCAT I hope the injection went well, with no headache.
@ger_77 So kind of you to be there for your friend during this stressful time. I hope Gord (and Ollie) will be ok. Enjoy the family time!
@Nickelpenny I hope your cold is short-lived. And congrats on the shout out and the duck.
@Quartzsite Cruiser Lovely Nuuk photos.
@summer slope I hope your aches ease soon. My DM used to recommend an epsom salts bath to relieve aches.
@marshhawk If the numbness is the pinkie and ring finger, it's the ulnar nerve, which can be injured near the elbow. I had issues many years ago, and they thought they might have to move the nerve (it's unprotected near the elbow. It's the nerve that's the "funny bone" when hit accidentally), but luckily with doing some of the things you were recommended, it cleared up on its own.
@smitty34877 Enjoy your time in NH.
@SusieKIslandGirl Wow, there will be a lot of Dailyites on that cruise!
@doobieb Welcome to the Daily! And to HAL.
Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Dialy.
Blessed Holy Thursday to those who celebrate Easter. I'll salute MLB opening day, although we always have a bad team. I've never been in a hot tub. Good quote. Maybe on the meal, pass on the drink and wine ($$). I've never been to Zadar.
It's sunny and going to be a nice Spring day today. I'd like to get some things done in the house, but it's tough. I can't stand more than a few minutes due to leg pain. I'd forgotten how bad it was before those 2 weeks of relief! BFF wants to go to a church fish fry tomorrow, but I don't know if I can tolerate it; we'll see.
@summer slope Gentle hugs for your distress from soreness and bruises.
@Crazy For Cats At least it's only a 2 day work week for you.
@MISTER 67 I'm a hockey fan too, although I don't think the Pens will make the playoffs this year.
@StLouisCruisers How far along is your grand nephew's pregnancy?
@kazu Prayers that the financial issue and Ivan's away home work out. And I hope the river won't flood.
@aliaschief Thanks for sharing your photos.
@Haljo1935 Sorry the work situation is so stressful.
@cunnorl That's a clever idea with the pasta bowls.
@Lady Hudson I hope your DH's health concerns improve soon.
@Mr. Boston Enjoy the train trip, and time with family.
@ger_77 Prayers that Maurice qualifies for the AVR. I haven't heard of presenting a case before a panel, as here if the doctor thinks it's needed, it's done. Safe travels for your family this evening.
@RMLincoln Sorry DH's appointment got cancelled. Bless you for discussing all the hard things with DB in regards to his DW's ongoing care.
@bennybear Great photo. I always enjoy seeing bald eagles.
Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

1 hour ago, summer slope said:
Well I had an interesting morning. DH and I went on our usual morning golf cart ride. We have a great development that we ride in. While sitting at a stop sign a lady in a car cut the corner sharp and ran into the golf cart with such force it turned the cart 180 degrees and threw me out of the cart. I hit the road very hard, bouncing my head off the road. Ambulance ride to the emergency room. (There a total of 4 hours.) Cat scan, xrays of hip, knee, and ankle were all negative. Lots of bruising. Will feel it better tomorrow I'm sure. No need for the care list, just giving an FYI.
Oh my, what a morning! I'm glad your tests were ok, and I do suspect you'll feel it more tomorrow. I think you deserve one day on the Care List at a minimum.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily.
I'll salute the Red Cross for what they do in disaster areas. I don' scribble and I'm not a big fan of whiskey. Funny quote. I don't like regular Hollandaise, but maybe this is different. The drink looks good and pass on the wine. I have not been to Falmouth. 2 good days in history.
Rain has finally stopped after all day rain yesterday. I don't know if hydroplaning was a cause, but there was a terrible accident between an 18-wheeler and 2 cars. People in the one car were ok, but 5 people in the other car were killed, including an infant. I'm very sleep again today, after about 3.5 hours of sleep. The contractor called this AM and the cleaning crew won't be here until next week. I'm still working on the dining room. I have 2 built in cabinets that flank the fireplace, and the glassware in them is dusty and needs to be cleaned (and maybe some gotten rid of). I've taken some ibuprofen for my poor overused left leg, so hopefully it will feel better.
@StLouisCruisers Thanks for the nice Falmouth photos.
@Mr. Boston Nice of you to help out your replacement.
@RedneckBob Enjoy snorkeling in Grand Turk!
@grapau27 Nice photos from Weymouth. No worries on it being Portland as the port.
@aliaschief Bruce, that was quite the spread!
@Crazy For Cats Safe trip home. I've mainly traveled with BFF and we've never been separated.
@Niagarawine Sorry to hear you need knee surgery. I was told I do too, but with upcoming back surgery, the knee is on the back burner.
@RMLincoln It sounds like you have great memories from that heritage immersion. I'm sorry to hear that DSIL has had a decline. Hopefully she rallies with holding the radiation a while.
@ger_77 Congrats on booking that TA.
@Nickelpenny Obviously you must be a talented teacher. even though not trained as one. Great on the cruise savings.
Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily.
I'll salute Diabetes Alert Day, having worked with people with diabetes for many years. Epilepsy awareness is important. I hope all live long and prosper (said in my best Spock voice). Great quote. I like the meal, maybe on the drink, and I can't afford the wine. I haven't been to Saipan. Dr. Salk was at the University of Pittsburgh from 1947-1954. I have older nurse acquaintances who worked with him as the vaccine started being given in clinical trials.
It's cloudy and has been raining all day. I, like many of you, woke up to the news of the terrible Baltimore bridge collapse. It sounds like the one positive is that the crew of the container ship gave a mayday and traffic was halted immediately. It looks like power went out on the ship right before the crash. Reportedly they dropped anchor too. Prayers for those lost and their families, as well as the tireless work of the first responders.
I had a restless night and got about 3.5 hours of sleep. I'm just back from PT. I couldn't do any standing exercises due to pain, but tried to do everything else. I hope I can hang in there until surgery.
@RedneckBob Enjoy your cruise and thanks for the photos.
@StLouisCruisers I'm glad made it safely to Clearwater and had a nice dinner with Morgan and her boyfriend.
@marshhawk I hope the new pain med will help DH and that the Neurologist has some options for your arm pain.
@cat shepard Very good news about your Sister's increased activity.
@smitty34877 So sad to hear of another senseless death of a police officer.
@kazu Wonderful photos of Maverick. I hope Ivan gets some relief after his shot today.
@Seasick Sailor I hope Allen gets approved for the medication, and that his lab work improves.
@AncientWanderer Prayers for DGD's scarlet fever and for your DH's issue with a heart aneurysm.
@Haljo1935 My insurance also says my 7/day Gabapentin is over their quantity limit. So I use GoodRx and don't go through the insurance. I'm getting 630 capsules for 90 days and it's about $38 with GoodRx.
@Quartzsite Cruiser Great Saipan and Tinian photos.
@kochleffel I have a mental picture of you announcing "Hear ye, Hear ye"!
@Vict0riann Good news that the fracture is minor, and i hope DD behaves. I hope Pat's appointment is uneventful.
@rafinmd Beautiful sunrise. A symbol of hope.
@LAFFNVEGAS Happy Anniversary!
@0106 Thanks for the information.
@ger_77 Wow, on all the beautiful blankets!
@bennybear Great photos of the bluebird.
Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

2 hours ago, Seasick Sailor said:
Allen's appt didn't go well. Sodium and vitamin D is very low. His A1C high. Starting Jardiance. No protein shakes or beef. Cut back on meat, lots of vegetables. Well, he loves his greens so will up them and have a tiny protein.
Having lunch at our favorite place. Texas Red fish with salad and green beans.
Thanks for your thoughts today.
Joy, I hope things get better with Allen. Could one of his meds be causing the low sodium? It's hard to replete Vitamin D with just diet, and multivitamins don't have enough. I'm surprised the nephrologist didn't prescribe something for the low Vitamin D.

Good to hear, Debbie.
27 minutes ago, Quartzsite Cruiser said:Vanessa, I hope you can get more sleep than three hours to night. I also hope that not using your biologic medication for 7 weeks does not cause an adverse reaction.
Vanessa, thanks for the great pictures of Cobh and especially the Titanic Museum. It's interesting they give you a card about one of the passengers when you enter the museum.
Lenda
Lenda, hopefully neither the RA or the uveitis flares up. Rheumatology said they usually do 6 weeks total, so it's only a week more. At the end of the tour through the Titanic museum, you find out what happened to your person by calling up their name via a kiosk. Below is a photo of the information about Hannah.
