  1. Was that tissue damage muscle? Good things to think about. The doc evidently told her that it was a "grey area" - whether or not to have the surgery would be up to her. We will discuss on Wednesday at the hospital.
  2. We hope so, too. I like your new picture - how did you change the ship into a gingerbread man?
  3. Pat commented this morning that when he was growing up in Ireland, the feast of St. Patrick was a Holy Day of Obligation ( must go to Mass), and all the pubs were closed. Funny to think of that now. DD had a call this morning from the hospital, orthopaedic surgeon recommends surgery. She doesn't think she wants to do it. We may not be cruising next month...
  4. We have not been invited to one since Covid. We have occasionally learned (after the fact) that one was held, but we did not receive any notification. I guess we are off the guest list.
  5. So, DD is not in a cast, just a cloth sling. The doctor told her that her BP is too low and to cut her dose in half. (Being the Mom, I had already told her that.) I am to go and pick her up right after she has another x-ray. She wants me to pick up a chocolate milkshake at McD's on the way to the hospital.
  6. Yes, it's high up, I thought at first it was her shoulder - then I dreamt last night that the only thing they could do for her was a full body cast for 6 weeks (puts paid to our cruise coming up), when I told DD about the full body cast, she was not amused!
  7. Wow! What a day - quite the anniversary, that black cloud of Covid certainly brought a silver lining. Rich and the helpers have done an amazing job. Kudos to you all. We have had a busy couple of days. DD fell again, and hurt her shoulder, yesterday am., and stayed in bed all day, with me checking on her, then up most of the night feeding her T1's, This morning she finally admitted she was not getting any better, and I was permitted to call an ambulance. They decided she had fractured her humerus (they said "not funny") and carted her off to the hospital. She is still waiting for the doctor, but has had tests, x-rays, etc. I'm afraid she is osteoporotic like me and most of the other women in my family. Tonight is our complex St. Patrick's Day party and I have made 2 huge rounds of soda bread to take but I'm not sure if we will attend if we need to be at the hospital for DD. Just have to wait and see how it goes. I don't have anything green to wear, anyway... Congrats to Pennie and Annie, must be the luck of the Irish? Of course hard work on Annie's part. Murphy looks so cute, how wonderful she is doing so well. Isn't it great that Kathi is cruising again? My thoughts are with all of the Dailyites. Must go.
  8. Happy to see you cruising and posting again, Kathi. Five years ago, St. Patrick's Day on the Prinsendam I have a picture of us in our greenery! A lot of water under the bridge since then. Have a wonderful cruise.
  9. Pat's outing today included a visit to the dump to dispose of some hazardous waste, and then on down the road to Butchart's. It's very neat and tidy and green right now, but not too floriferous. They do have an indoor "Spring Preview" in what will be the Blue Poppy restaurant next month, which is at least a taste (and the scent) of what's in store: The sunken garden today And another birthday today - granddog Oskar is 4!
  10. Happy birthdays today to the birthday girls - Lenda, Mitzi and Ellen! And good morning, Dailyites. I'm sorry, Graham, that your and Pauline's attempts at reconciliation have failed. At least you tried, you can be comforted by that. I would love to have one of those bacon baps! Here, it looks wet outside. I have a flowerbed full of weeds to tend to and a large fuchsia to prune, but I don't know if I will get it done. Pat likes to have an "outing" every day and that takes up time. This afternoon I am to make biscuits (scones to you, Graham) - DD sent me the recipe she wants used, and she is planning a chicken dish for tonight. And here am I, sitting around chatting on CC! Pennie, I'm sorry about your Martina, I'm sure she had a good life with you. Yesterday I volunteered our stateroom for the cabin crawl on our cruise in April. It seems in the past every time I've done that it has been in the Fall, and I've put a big bowl of Halloween candies on a bed and they've all disappeared. I don't know what I will do this time - maybe Easter eggs? It will be a matter of space available as we have new suitcases and I'm not sure how the packing will go. Miss Camilla is really growing up, isn't she? How sweet father and daughter look, cooking together. I'd better get on with my duties, hope everyone has a good day.
  11. The only Pinnacle ship on which I am not crazy about Club Orange is Rotterdam... those open slats allow for much more noise from the Half Moon Bar in the evening. That bar can get very "merry"! We always tried to get a table at the far end away from the bar. On the other two ships, the CO is surrounded by glass, and there is no HMB, so it is much quieter.
  12. Good morning, Dailyites, and condolences to Graham, @grapau27, Pauline and especially Sarah on the loss of her father. DD and her BF are in St. John's and I hope they are not snowed in this weekend. I imagine they need to be back in Gander for work after the weekend. It is her birthday tomorrow. I don;t think I have had chicken stroganoff, but DD's BF made us a delicious moose stroganoff when we were last in NL, and afterwards an also delicious Dutch Baby for dessert. Vanessa, @JazzyV, thanks for putting me on the list - my eye problems are very small ones, compared with some, my vision is still good. I must say, sitting waiting, I studied a poster of the eye and its parts, and I was just fascinated with the intricacy. Whoever thought up eyes did an amazing job of it!
