Sorry to hear about your muscle pain.

My doctor changed my statin although blood test was clear.

My problem was not being able to take Ibuprofen for my arthritis with heart medication.

Best wishes that the pain goes away now you are off statins.

Thanks. Over the years my doctor has put me on probably every type of statin available.  That is why we are now trying Repatha.  It is a statin free medicine to lower cholesterol.  If insurance will continue to cover it we will see if it will make a difference.

MRI report is back.  Doesn’t look too concerning, one lesion is bigger but everything else looks okay. We see the doctor tomorrow so I don’t want to speculate too much.

Stopped at a local supermarket after dentist appointment, I was in shock bought a dozen eggs for 3.48 at winco. Will finish my antibiotics Thursday so made reservations for a martini lunch on Friday 😁😁

Thank you for Charlie's MRI update.  You'll both feel much better after talking to the doctor ☺️

@Jimbo. We went on Guardian of the Galaxy as 2 separate groups because of some young ones to watch.  By the time we entered, rode the ride and exited the building it was about 1 hour for the first group and less than 40 minutes for the second.  I thought pretty quick for a new ride. 

The most crowded its been so far has been Disney Springs (downtown Disney) the first night.  Last night we went to Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios. It's the first time I noticed empty sections.  

Much less here compared to summer. 

Here in Epcot we got on Ratatouille pretty quick.  The was the back section of Epcot this morning.

Have to pack your patience with that group, you are a Saint for sure. Taking kids to Disney is a full time job. Lot a memories though, that's the best. 🙂

You have been very lucky, we rode on Ratatouille on the evening, it was pretty busy back there. This picture you posted is that little bridge you walk over isn't it, where they sometimes have boat parades through there isn't it?

I didn't care who won the Superbowl I was in it for the numbers in my Superbowl pools.  Won $450

That's awesome!  We didn't have any squares this year for the first time in a long time.  Eyeing another cruise with the money or is it lucky money for the casino? 😄

I believe it is because you can see China in the background.  I have been here when they were bringing stuff out to prep for the fireworks.  Looks like they are all set this time. 

Where you here during the Marathon and other runs?  Sharon and our cruise friends used to run them and it was very crowded that week.  The next week would be much better.

Where you here during the Marathon and other runs?  Sharon and our cruise friends used to run them and it was very crowded that week.  The next week would be much better. 

 

We used to go to Epcot every year when my daughter was doing competitive dance.  The Dance Worlds competition was held there in the World Showcase Pavilion between the Canada and UK Pavilions.  This is like a lot of kids sports where you're there for 8 hours but your kid is actually performing for a couple of minutes here and there.  We had a LOT of downtime and quickly learned about the Rose & Crown Pub (UK), a beer cart in front of Canada that sold Moosehead, and even some sort of bacon flavored beer sold in front of the American Pavilion. 

 

One of the alumni from my daughter's dance studio who was then old enough to legally drink made up her own version of an Epcot passport.  You had to get a picture taken of doing something (typically wearing a hat representative of that country from their gift shop) and drink something (typically a local beer) from each country in the Epcot World Showcase.  One of the Disney employees (sorry...cast members) had to witness and stamp your passport.  It was a lot of fun for the parents while the kids were changing costumes and rehearsing in the back room.

 

Eventually, the competition outgrew the World Showcase Pavilion, and they moved it to the Coronado Springs convention center.  Not nearly as much fun as it could have been a convention center anywhere.

We did that back in 2015 with our grand kids at Disneyland.  The look on my, then, 9 year old grand son as we rode up the first hill of the Radiator Springs Racers ride was priceless. He was a big lightning McQueen fan...  Him and I would play that game on PS3 all the time.  He looked at me as we ascended that first hill and said "Papa, it's just like being in the game". That is a priceless moment I'll cherish forever. I remember being so tired I thought I would sleep for a week after two days there with them but it was awesome.
