A very good evening😊

A very good result from today's procedure and Frank is back home where he belongs. After 15 days of worry he has had his bp tablets and his statin removed, and 1 added. Believe it or not, an iron tablet. He had another echo scan and they have decided against the need for a heart tablet, however regular gentle exercise which is no problem as he's always active,  a  low salt diet, moderate fluids, an echo scan in 6 months and yearly after that. We cannot believe how close we came to losing him and to come home with only an iron tablet.

I want to thank all the wonderful people who have sent me best wishes and prayers via Av. She has read me every one and I am overwhelmed by the kindness, help and advice from people we have never met. I am grateful for all the support you gave Av because I know it kept her going when things got a bit 'hairy' 

You're a great bunch.

Frank

Great news for you both. Even though we have never met, I feel so pleased and relieved for you both.

Things haven't gone to plan this week. I ordered some zips which have arrived but the colours aren't suitable, so was going to take a trip up to Truro to get the ones I need, but had problems with the car.  Plus I been battling with  the hospital to get my MRI results. I have spent a good portion of today trying to find get answers and am not much further forward. Rang several times this morning and left a message,  got a phone call from the doctor, who can't answer my questions regarding my travel insurance, but he did inform me that they would be looking at my scan on Monday and said he would ring me on Monday,🤞 if not for me to ring on Tuesday. We leave home to travel up the the airport on Thursday to join Azura on Friday. Things are not going well!

Such good news. Glad Frank is back home recovering and that Avril will not have to travel in the awful cold weather next week. Look after each other and rest.

That's very good news for you Avril and Frank, and I can almost feel the relief you must be feeling from the tenor of your post. My best wishes to you both, and wishing Frank a speedy return to the best of health.

wonder if we’ll be onboard Iona 24 hours from now?  I still can’t really believe it.  Have a strange “Meh” feeling, but I’m hoping that’s only because it’s been so long and we spent so long thinking that we would never be able to cruise again

I hope you have a wonderful cruise and lovely sunshine all the way .

@Adawn47 what wonderful news to wake up to. I’m so pleased to read that Frank is home. I imagine you will be feeling very relieved but shattered. Look after yourself.

Yay!

What great news to hear.  I’m so pleased for you both

Have a lovely peaceful weekend together.  Just relax and enjoy each other’s company, your house & the family.

Nice to hear from you Frank.  No more dramas now! You’ve hogged the limelight enough 😏

 

Well, here we are.  Cruise day.  I took ages to get to sleep but finally made it and didn’t have any nightmares about being left behind or caught in a monster Southampton traffic jam

 

Have a lovely day everyone

[grapau27]

Good morning.

I hope everyone is well.

[Purdey16]

Good morning too .

It’s 0 here and partly cloudy at the morning.

Were going to Lymington this morning trying to find a rain coat in the sales  for our upcoming Alaska cruise , the seagulls are screeching outside and he’s still asleep 😴 so I’m catching up on here .

 

Purplesea I hope that you get your answer on Monday and early in the day , nothing worse sat waiting all day for a phone call.

Thank you. Have arranged to meet a friend for coffee Monday morning, who I haven't seen for a while, so will get phone calls diverted to my moblie.

A dull, grey day here at 4c but feels a lot colder. At least it's dry and not windy.

 

Taking a trip up to Truro this morning, and it will be the scenic route as the A30 is closed all weekend. Hopefully I can then get on and finish the dress I'm making and I intend to make a start on the packing for next week. Wish me luck!

 

Have a good weekend everyone, whatever you have planned.

Great deal.We found Cape town good value when on a cruisetour a few years back.That reminds of when we were "stuck" in our hotel in Krakow on Easter Sunday when everywhere was closed.Very similar deal for 4 hrs,don't remember a lot about it,lol.
