Finished with engines.

Thank you all for your good wishes, you know that I am very obstinate pig headed type ,so I will keep trying. and will often lurk here.

[Lanky Lad]

Sorry to hear your news Lynn, I hope you recover well.

[Lady Hudson]

So sorry to hear of your illness. Get well soon! Katherine

Thankfully none of your wit or intellect has been affected. I hope you are recovering and that you can find a way to continue sailing.

[Calliope]

Don't give up the ship yet, Lynn. My sainted friend John had to cancel a September trip to Alaska due to serious sickness, and some thought that was the end of his travels. The next May we were on the QUEEN VICTORIA to Norway, so never say never!

Lynn, your sounding better already. Your too young, too pretty and too much fun to give up. I hope you will find someone to sail with and join us again soon. The September 20, 2015 westbound from Southampton would be a good one. Were on board. See you there!

All the best for you. Your name on a post has always been a guarantee of a sensible opinion tempered by much experience; I hope that you'll do more than lurk.

I'm sorry to hear your news. It looks like you are recovering at a good rate so please don't feel this is the end of your cruising. Try and keep positive and your eyes on the future. Work hard at the therapy too!!

Lynn.....I'm so sorry to read this and send you my very best wishes for a steady recovery. You have always lent a spark to this forum and it would be sad for those who know you to have you not contribute. You have a lot of experience and speak your mind.....so don't just lurk, share that experience and words of common sense.

 

Strokes are so challenging but if anyone is feisty enough to fight back it is you. So work at the therapy, find that cruising buddy, fire those engines back up and head that bow out to sea. My Mom always used to say that "where there's a will, there's a way".....sending you good thoughts to find that way.

 

Cheers, Penny

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.

 

Lynn

Don't give up! I still see your keen wit. Hopefully, you can find a cruising friend to travel with. Best wishes to you!

[cunardaddict]

Lynn, sorry to hear this.

 

But don't give up. My father had a bad stroke 10 years ago. The firts weeks were really hopeless. No he is over 80 and on a normal bicycle again. Modern therapies can do a lot. Do whatever is on offer.

 

Meet you in the Commodore Club.

[Cats2010]

Hi jimsgirl,

 

I am sure we will hear from you again from one of your forthcoming cruises.

In the meantime I send you all my best wishes.

I wish you the best recovery. Having worked in Neurosurgery for many years I know you will find recovery a test of your will. But from the replies you have on here, you will have a fan club cheering you on and praying hard for the best of recovery. And I am betting, if you asked around, you would find plenty of travel companions. Get well.

[safarigal]

Dear Lynn, we are so sorry to hear your news. I hope that it's a good sign that you are able to post again, and that one day you will be able to sail again :)
