Hello all.....and I have been on the quiet side on the boards lately....but.....on a personal note.....I have to think things kind of happen for a reason....See....I did look so much forward to our special Magical cruise....only to have the virus knock us out of the water....so I took half a loaf instead of the whole and went on the 4 day sailing of the Wonder on 12/1.....met some real nice people and tried to enjoy ourselves....was not what we wanted but we had to deal with it....but my point is this....on Wednesday 12/4 I started to come down with an upper respitory infection...which eventually turned into pnumonia....so on Monday 12/9 I ended up in the emergency room at Celebration Hospital....they took an x-ray of my chest....and confirmed that I had the pnumonia....but they also found what they feel is a small tumor on my lung....they made copies of the x-ray and I took them to my doctor this past Tuesday.....confirming that there is something there....but have to clear up the infection before they can perform the other tests....so.....do I feel that Disney overreacted about the 11/30 cruise....as I have stated before...yes I do.....but if I had been on the 11/30 cruise I might not have gotten sick and what they feel is possibly a tumor might not have been spotted...so without being dramatic....this might eventually have saved my life......and there will be other cruises....and you only have one life so in conclusion.....I do feel things happen for a reason......and by the way....if you ever need to visit a hospital when in Disney....the Celebration Hospital is top notch......so we are now booked on the 11/29/03 Magic......and we will be there.....healthy and ready to have that "MAGICAL" cruise....and I am not counting down the days yet....got to wait for the 1st of the year to start that!

WOW, Tom, I do hope things turn out okay for you! With your positive attitude I have to believe that they will. :)

Please keep us posted and glad you have another cruise to look forward to! :)
 
Good luck with your tests and I am glad that you were able to rebook the cruise for next year! :)
 
Hey Tom - good luck with the tests.

Its taking me longer than others but Im finally starting to feel better about the cancelled cruise too.

Have a Happy Holiday and my best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year. We will get on the Magic, we will get on the Magic, we will
 

Tom,

Wishing you all the best as you fight this. I'm a very firm believer in that everything happens for a reason even if we never find out what that reason is. Sounds like you might have found out.

The most important thing is keeping a positive attitude and you sound like you have that.

I think you'll appreciate your 2003 cruise even more!
 
Wow Tom! Good thoughts and Pixie dust headed your way!
Best wishes on the tests and that you are well soon!
 
Tom, thanks for the reminder that many things are out of our control, and sometimes that's a good thing!

Sending lots of good wishes for a healthy new year for you & your family! Enjoy your Magical cruise :)
 
Tom, I am so sorry. I do believe however, that attitude is what makes you rise or fall and you will RISE! What a way to start the second half of your life. Take care of yourself. We too are still suffering with some upper respiratory stuff here.
 
You have an excellent attitude and I'm sure that will get you through anything the x-rays throw you. Best of luck to you!
 
Tom,
I am so glad that they saw it! You are right that things happen for a reason. Please keep us updated on your progress, and I hope that your pneumonia gets better soon too!
 
Tom,

I had read your saga regarding the 11/30 cruise and how things didn't turn out the way you had hoped. Things do happen for a reason and we may not always find out that reason.

Hopefully you will have a full recovery.:D
 
Thank you all for your kind wishes....it is true....I believe now that things do happen for a reason....and you know....with the 50% off my cruise next year I booked a verandah for our stateroom...category 5 and it cost me $1400.00...so.....I will lick this medical thing and enjoy with great joy our cruise next November 29th.....a blessed Christmas to all and a great New Year....keep smiling....stay healthy...and remember "He is the reason for the season"!!!

Tom:D :D :D :D :D
 
Wow Tom. Keep us posted. I hope what they find with the tumor is something that can be taken care of quickly and easily...

Something like what you may now be dealing with really puts things into perspective, doesnt it? I felt awful for the 11/30 cruisers, knowing how i would have felt if i my cruise were cancelled, but after reading your post, the cancelled cruise is now small potatoes!

Good luck and wishing you a healthy new year!
