Good grief! How does anyone walk out and look straight down? I can’t get near floor to ceiling glass walls! I am “faint of heart” looking down from a height. I really scared myself at the Sears Tower years ago and couldn’t make myself step on the the elevator to go back down. I was determined to. walk down, but the security guard wouldn’t let me in the stairwell. He and Dick wrestled me onto the elevator.

Greg, I’m so glad your second knee is doing so well. I kept encouraging you with the first time and felt kind of guilty because I was basing it on my experience. So apply my encouragement to the new knee so it looks like I’m an expert!

I go to the newest page and work backwards till I run out of time. Why I do that, I don’t know!

Do any of y’all remember my friend Ginny? She tripped over her suitcase at age 98, wound up in the hospital with broken ribs and more. Tests showed masses throughout her body, and she stopped eating. She lost a 2nd daughter during that time and was depressed and ready to let go. That was 2 years ago. She went to assisted living from the hospital, but wanted to go home. Finally her granddaughter had her moved home to her 2 story condo. Her bed was moved downstairs, and set up a team of caregivers 24/7. We had hoped she would make it to 100, but knew there was no chance. She was born 100 years ago today. Here’s Ginny at her birthday party today!!! Never give up!

Do you have an iPhone? if you do, go to Settings, scroll down to Accessibility, then to Touch. turn Touch on, and follow directions for Screenshots. it gives you a virtual button. some people find it irritating, because it’s hiding what they want to see. it’s movable. I just touch it and move it out of my way. it makes screenshots sooo easy.

I have an iPhone14 Pro. I’ll try to attach a photo from my library. And I have IOS17.

My husband was upset that he bought my first cellphone and I didn’t carry it in my purse. it was the size and weight of a brick! it was an Ericsson. Long time ago.

Our daughter’s has a metal roof. They did it as part of building the house to weather hurricanes and nor’easters. Metal roofs last longer and have fewer problems, from everything I’ve read.

Bless you! I hope each meal you eat is Even better than the previous one! Lots of “When Harry Met Sally “ moments!

I love looking at your photos! I hope your cruise was spectacular all the way through!

But you’re on a cruise…any day on a cruise ship is a good day!

It looks about as long as mine from 1999!

I’m going through posts backwards, so I just got to this one. That object to your last sentence. It IS about you. We are invested in you like we are the rest of our Dani family. Like I said, I’m reading in reverse order, so I know you’re doing ok. At least you know what to expect! The catheter is not comfortable, but that is leavened with the ability to just go when you need to, with a smile because you’re getting away with something!

Gorgeous!

I might as well make some more holes with my head, as we’re going to have to pay someone to repair Dick’s repair of the first one. Charges for coming out for any service are so high, we should make an effort to get our money’s worth. Thank you for your words of wisdom. They’re so encouraging. I believed Dr K, but having you confirm that I’m ok means a lot!

You’d think it could wait till November!

I did tell Dick after the cruise. I wanted him to enjoy it sorry free. We have a 4 day Allure coming in February. I’m the booking agent for 34 of us from my Women’s Club. I haven’t done a group in several years, so it’s been fun. I actually retired in 1998 and only book a friend here and there. So at the grand old age of 87, I’m herding cats again!

Hi, everybody! I’m back out of the rabbit hole! We enjoyed our Bermuda cruise on Mariner, and am so glad we finally made it. It was an eye opener. Our guide took us everywhere, and was a fountain of information. If anyone is looking for a good one, his name is Millard Lightbourne, and the email is his daughter’s…millarda@northrockbm. Tell her Mimi sent you. Your reply will be from Gizell. I don’t remember, actually, if I’ve posted since then! Just before the cruise, I had gotten a text saying the test results from an MRI were available on the hospital portal. Fool that I am, I went into the portal and the first words I saw were Diagnosis Pancreatic Cancer. My oncologist’s appointment was Oct 11, so I kept the news to myself so as not to spoil Dick’s enjoyment of the cruise. two days after the cruise, I tested positive for COVID. Canceled everything on my calendar and changed my appointment to Oct 27. I can tell you it was hard to act totally normal while wondering if I would/could have chemo, radiation, or both. Well, my oncologist greeted me with a smile, and said she had the results. I said I had read them and saw Pancreatic Cancer. Dr K said MRIs can’t tell malignant cells from benign. She also said chemo and radiation wouldn’t have been an option, only surgery. She said the spots on my lungs and on my pancreas have been stable for two years and she expects them to stay that way. I should have asked @Ocean Boy about those results instead of worrying myself sick! So a CTscan on my lungs in 6 months and another pelvic MRI in 12. I live to cruise another day!

Just picked up my phone and what do I see! Happy Anniversary, Greg and Linda! what better way to spend it than on a cruise! Take care of that knee, though. Extra pillows will help. I’m looking forward to vicariously cruising with you!

Beautiful!

Dani, my heart is with you and your country. I pray you and your loved ones stay safe.

I found a great guide. Millard Lightbourne. He took us everywhere in his very comfortable new van. $50 an hour, and we spent 7 hours. Dick saw more than I did because he and Millard traipsed off several times and left me comfortably ensconced in the air conditioned van with my Kindle. My days of walking everywhere are gone, but I enjoyed my whole day. Bermuda is beautiful. Very clean and prosperous, and no guns allowed! The beaches are gorgeous, and the colors, water, buildings, etc were a sight gor sore eyes! We close a private tour because we’re not interested in spending time at the beach any more, and when you live in a condo, shopping means you have to get rid of something to make room!

We’re on the last day of our Bermuda cruise. I’m still not crazy about the new menus, but discovered Butter Chicken is pretty good! I’m posting the two required photos!

That’s beautiful. The view would make a bad hood!8

That’s a beauty! At one time I would have said it’s the Cadillac of wheelchairs. I think it’s the Rolls Royce of wheelchairs! Does it have a cup holder? That’s important!
