Now I have done replies , I will update you on my DRAMA. Wednesday mornn I woke up with a strange pain in the roof of my mouth, when I got up it seemed to be moving t my throat. y 11 a , at work the pain moved to my chest and my pulse was racing . A co worker took me to the ER, where my heart rate was 170, they gave me some intravenous drugs and nitro pills . Judy arrived , all shook up !!! Mom is supposed to be invincible and this scared the daylights out of her . Well they admitted me , and I lost count of how many EKGs they didplus an echocardiogram !! Today I was scheduled for a nuclear stress test and a heart xray 3 times All tests were good and all my labs were fine so I as discharges this afternoon with 2 new heart meds and have to cut down on my coffee to 2 cups a dayplus drink water after each cup. I think my recent spell of bronchitis contributed greatly to this , but with the new meds nd the reduced caffeine plus less salt and yes I have to cut down on smoking All of which I will do . Cuz I plan on being around a LONG time !!!

Wow, Rosie that was so scary! Thankful that you didn't ignore the signs, went in to get check out and that everything is okay. And I am sure too that the recent bronchitis had a part in this. I'm sure that you will take the new changes all in stride 'cause that's the way you are..... And WE too want our Rosie around a loonng time!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Well, my goodness, Rosie!! You sure know how to give Judy (and the rest of your friends) a scare!!!!

That is a whole lot of tests in a short time - worth it to know you are okay. When I saw your name come up on my caller ID, for some reason I was immediately concerned. Thanks so much for calling as I would have been quite worried just reading here.

Hopefully, you'll be able to adjust to less caffeine easily and the headache will pass within a couple of days. I am sure cutting down smoking will be the most difficult but if it means your health will be safer then please do try?

So happy to know you are okay, my friend.

I am trying to cut down on smoking , but their main issue was the coffee !! I was a HUGE coffe drinker !!!

Oh Rosie!

Caffeine and heart issues are not a good combo. Have you tried switching to decaf, or making half and halfs? It is hard to cut down I know but sometimes it is as much the flavor, the comfort, the smell and the routine of the coffee as it is the caffeine itself.

Smoking will cause other issues even if it isn't the primary culprit today. I know you know that, but we love you and those kids, little and big all NEED you. Both around and to set a good example.

Salt is tough, really tough, it is insane how much of it is in stuff. You could never actually add it to a thing yourself and still be way way way over.

 

[chimo2u]

Wow Rosie! What a scare! I'm so happy to know you're ok... Too many health scares with my friends lately! Sending feel good vibes your way. I have the opposite problem - drink way too much diet coke! It's just too addicting to me and hard to quit! I am very glad to hear all your tests came back without issue.

I know the caffeine was a BIG issue and I am limiting myself to 2 cups a day and water plus switching over completely to decaff gradually !!Judy is picking me up lightly salted chips !!! I eat at work a lot and all their meals are low fat low salt so that is a plus !!!

Rosie so sorry to hear about your health issues but happy to hear that you are back home. Seems to be a bad time for us grannies right now! Take care of yourself!

 

[chimo2u]

Ok I just gave in and purchased a photopass plus card, knowing me I would have regretted it if I didn't! At least now I'll have a way to get ride pics without paying exhorbiant price for each one! I only had 4 days left to purchase at the discounted price! So I jumped on it!

Perhaps me too, I've never purchased one before. I'll ask my DH if he can make copies and let you all know.

A bath or shower after all you have been through must have felt wonderful!! So happy you are feeling good today!

My ankle is FINALLY healing - as long as I do the PT exercises several times a day. I did have a good deal of pain walking around the shops while Lynne did her Hanukkah shopping (think she pretty much wiped out Chatham shops. )

Linda, hope today is another good one for you. Those baby steps sure do work.

Rosie, latest news from Disney Cruise Line:

"Disney Cruise Line's new smoking policy begins today:

Smoking is not permitted in staterooms, stateroom VERANDAS or any interior spaces on the ships. Guests who are found smoking in staterooms or on stateroom verandahs will receive a $250 charge to cover deep cleaning of the room, including air filter replacement, carpet removal, and the cleaning and replacement of curtains, bedding and pillows."

While this is great news for nonsmokers, I wonder if they will still offer a smoking area for guests who partake?

I think that I will pass on the photopass. Because of my injury I won't be able to go on most of the attractions that they are taken on. It will be a nice way for all of you to share any photos that you each take. This is how we ended up with over 1000 picture on our disk from the last Diva trip.

I had heard this and will not be cruising with them again !! I think they may find a lot of cancellations , just like the new DAS I already know of people who will not be going again. I am not blaming them for either but Cruising with them is out for me , I will make th best of DAS for my P &P trips , for myself and thegrannies I doubt it will affect us but this dang new FP+ can be a pain. I think they intend to stop the regular FP soon as well !

 

[englishrose47]

How are our FP+ selections lining up I really can't figure out who has what ? Also what time are Janet and Linda ( see thinking positive ) arriving ??
Next questions are we gonna share stuff at Sanaa so we get a little of a lot ?? I hav been studying the menu and haveThe slow cooked in gravy, butter chicken, the Tandori oven any of them, the bread service and possibly the salad samplers

Okay Gals what are your thoughts ????

 

[englishrose47]

FP+ selections ... I really haven't done any yet. Janet is going to forward me what she has and I'll copy them for the attractions I can do. Looks like thrill rides are out for me this trip.

Sanaa food .... every time I've eaten there we have always shared items. We've always chosen the slow cooked items and of course the bread service.

Marie I may have spoken too soon about the photopass ... if all of you promise to load all of your personal pictures on the website I would be interested.

Also reminder to everyone .... my Tables card is still good so if you want the 20% discount on food and drink please bring cash or Disney gift cards with you for each meal. I have had some servers ask for my id and insist that I be the one to pay the entire bill.
