April 19, 2008 - Western - VERY Early Roll Call - Anyone??!!

[Hypermommy]

I left a photo matte with GS and there were lots of signatures on it. Now that I'm looking at Crazed'boutMaryP's list, it was probably only the main characters, though. I guess that's another reason that we'll have to go cruising again. I need a photo matte specifically signed by Captain Jack Sparrow to put our pirate picture in! Sounds reasonable to me, how about you KC?

I'm not feeling sick or achy. Hope I don't. Too much to do at work this week. At least I've finally quit swaying.

 

[rantnnravin]

i'm wondering if i'm achy but for the simple fact that I wore my Fit-flops for about 98% of the cruise and in port.
- but didn't feel it at all while wearing them

The same with me. Maybe these things really do give our legs a workout. I have them on now....

 

[MassDisLovers]

I'm not achy but my feet and legs (halfway up to my knees) are tight and swollen. It started on Sunday - I blamed it on flying for hours and hours (3 flights), but maybe it was the flip flops ???? I sure hope not because I do love wearing flip flops!

 

[Hypermommy]

My feet were hurting while I was on board and I was worried it might be my new flops. They're cute but they have NO support at all. But I'm feeling better now. I figure it was just due to the fact that I was walking up and down the length of the Empire State Building several times a day. Hope you guys feel better soon!

Sorry I didn't get to meet most of you,by the time we boarded the dismeet was about over and we still needed to hook up with the other families we were crusing with.
Cherie, It was nice to meet you,once we figured it out!

Karen, my feet and legs are extremely swollen. It started some time on Saturday and just got progressively worse. we were in WDW and by Sunday night i had to get a wheelchair to get around Magic Kingdom. we flew in yesterday and went to the ER..They took some blood and urine and said my kidneys were functioning fine and did an ultrsasound to check for blood clots, and that was fine too. The doctor basically thought maybe there was too much sodium in the food, and gave me an antiinflamatory and told me to keep my feet elevated. It's a little better but still tight and puffy. I think maybe it was a combination of things.

Denise, hope your legs are better. I'm still feeling sick, kind of like sea sick now and very tired, but no swelling. Did you maybe get bit by something?
Hope you enjoyed your weekend in WDW.

Cherie

 

[Hypermommy]

Denise, that sounds awful. I sure hope you're feeling better. Let us know how you're doing, okay?

Wow I'm so sorry your having these problems. What a stinky way to end a great vacation. Feel better soon

Other than some slight stomach problems which started early Thursday morning, I feel fine. I ate way to much food and drink and I think my body just purged. Two doses of Immodium helped though. I didn't mind too much because I rather it leave my body that way than stay on my stomach and legs. Already have too much there already

 

[Angiefromalberta]

Hi everyone. We are home safe and sound too. We all had a wonderful vacation, and loved every minute of it. My daughter was sick with vomiting and fever right after the trip, but I am not convinced that it isn't just being over-tired. My husband got a concussion in our stateroom (whacked his head on the bunkbed) and has been dizzy since. No one here has swayed at all. We had a really stable stateroom location (GO 2108 Anty!!!) and didn't notice any movement at all when in there.
We decided not to re-book for now. I would like to go to a nice all inclusive beach resort next time and hang out. But we will probably to another Disney cruise in a few years.

It was nice to put faces to all your names.

My feet were swollen on Saturday as well and have been all week...I am actually going to the doctor today as I am already on a water pill and I have doubled up on it since sunday...they are better now, I don't think 100% yet...my ankles and feet looked like tree trunks when we left Florida..but I have been experiencing some lower back pain so I am thinking that maybe I have a kidney infection or something of the like.

Talk with you all soon!

I hope everyone gets back to normal quick. At least nothing major during the cruise. It can't be too bad to call in sick after vacation.

Michelle, I emailed you, don't know if you have access to that anymore considering your computer issues. Let me know.

Greetings my fellow cruisers!

Well - I am FINALLY getting to pitstop on the thread! We are still quite exhausted from getting home on Sunday. We had some issues with our connecting flight due to weather in Atlanta so we got home at 1AM and went to work the next day. I need a vacation from my vacation!

All in all, Jeff and I enjoyed meeting all the folks we did. Michelle, I really miss my friend Emily. Please tell her I said hello and that I hope to see her really soon! BTW, Jeff really finds his nickname of "chicken wing" quite endearing!!! Joan, I miss Rebecca and Tyler as well - tell Tyler not to eat too many snails! And I'm never playing Bingo with you again!

Ant, Ed, Ava and Leo - thanks for a great time and all the laughs.

Pacdaddy - how cool was it to have DJ Mike play Zebra thru the house system 4 times?! Ah...those memories of Rockin' Bar D! It was a nice surprise to have you and the family on the same cruise!

I could go on and on - so many cool people we met. I hope we can all cruise together again sometime.

We enjoyed our extra day and 1/2 after we got off the ship. Michelle, I did get Jeff to go back to MK - he wasn't happy - but it was fine. Sunday, we shopped for our niece and nephews!

I am JUST getting my land legs back. I randomly felt like I was still on the boat for these last few days. I was swaying pretty bad on Saturday and Sunda. - I felt drunk!

We did rebook another cruise for next year; May 23, 2009. It will be our
15th wedding anniversary on 5/21/09. We are doing the Tortola cruise - all the agent needed to say was rain forest; something Jeff and I always have wanted to do. So....here comes cruise #5!

Hope everyone who feels under the weather feels better soon! Where the hell is the warm weather??!!

 

[Hypermommy]

Okay... you just gotta share with us how Jeff became Chicken Wing?

Let me know what the doctor says! I don't have the lower back pain but I have been considering calling the doctor. My feet and legs are still pretty swollen. I had a pedicure scheduled today, so I went and she told me to buy some over-the-counter water pills. I did get them and just took one. We'll see if that helps. How odd that 3 of us had the same thing happen!

Let us know what the doctor says. They told me to keep my feet elevated as much as possible,it seems to help. It's alot better today but by the end of the day at work I could see they got swollen again. so i'm in bed with two pillows under my feet. they ran my labs and my kidneys were fine. It'll be interesting to see what your doctor says.

A little strange that the three of us had the same symptoms around the same time.

To be honest....I really wish I had a story to share!

Emily just came up with the name and it stuck! He really doesn't mind the nickname and Emily (and Rebecca) are the only ones that can call him that!

Hey Michelle - btw - Chicken Wing said make sure I passed on his hello to Emily!

 

[anty30]

Hi everyone. Sorry to hear about all who are not feeling well. We have all been fine.

Everything is blooming here in NY, so my allergies are the only thing bothering me.

Colleen, tell Danielle Ava says hi. It was so great that they got to hang out together and be independant. It made Ava's cruise experience a whole lot better.

I so miss the ship. I love being waited on day and night.

Gina & Jeff, I will see you guys next week at Leo's communion.

Ant

Amen! I keep looking around the living room wondering when Clefas is going to come in to clean the place.

 

[4newtocruise]

Hey Chicken Wing & Gina: My daughter said at dinner last night she wanted to go over to your table and say "Hi!"

Then they started singing: "B11, BB11!"

We should meet at Foxwoods and play BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only swelling I'm experiencing is my belly - time for the diet, AGAIN!!!
