August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[sandygirl]

Congratulations to all who received DOCs! No crying, no screaming, or moaning at the port, OK.

I started putting stuff in a suitcase last night. I'll add as I go along. The night before we leave I'll lay it all out on my bed and neatly pack it to make sure I have everything. Wondering how to pack my formal stuff. DH is renting his tux from DCL, so no worry there. My garment bag has a broken handle (boo hoo). If I neatly pack DD's and my dresses in a suitcase maybe I can have them steamed when we get onboard. What do you think?

BTW DD is feeling much better today. Thank goodness!

Sorry, I haven't read all the postings in this thread -- but has a DisMeet ever been finalized for this cruise? Last time I heard, they were thinking of right after the drill and before the sail away party.

Well it's offical the cruise of the 8/28 cruisers has hit me.

I went to the Dentist this morning to start a root canal and now they've found I have an absess around the root of another tooth.

Hopefully I will be able to get this resolved before the cruise. It is a wisdom tooth so I don't know if I should have it pulled now or wait until we return from the cruise. The surgeon can't see me right away so the first appointment would be only 3 days before the cruise. What should I do?

Oh no, Lyn, you poor thing!! Did the dentist give you a prescription for an antibiotic for the abcess? You'll need to get rid of the infection whether you have it pulled or not. If the infection and pain go away after taking the antibiotic, I'd suggest to wait until after the cruise because you said you can't see the oral surgeon until 3 days before the cruise. If you said he could PULL the tooth 3 days before the cruise, then I'd tell you to go for it! I've had wisdom teeth pulled and was fine within a couple of days (but they hadn't been abcessed, so then again...). Tell your dentist that you have a cruise in 2 weeks and see what he suggests!!

I hope it all works out! You definitely don't want to be in pain during the cruise!! *hugs*

Bobby - Congratulations to you and your family. There's just nothing like a new baby! Glad to hear to both doing well.

Lyn - I really don't have much advice but I can relate a story about my daughter. My daughter (then 12) needed to have 5 teeth pulled to get her braces. One baby tooth and four second molars. We had an appt. with the Oral Surgeon for a consult three days before he Confirmation/13th Birthday bash. Well at the consult he said he had an opening and that he could pull all the teeth right there and then. I mentioned the impending events and he said she'd be fine in three days. We went ahead and the Dr. was right. She wasn't swollen and she said she was only experiencing some slight discomfort. by the three day mark. Now granted, there wasn't an absess but heck it was 5 teeth. My daughter's a better woman then I! I do hope you feel better soon and good luck!

Thank you all for the wishes....the baby is gorgeous! I got to see him 1/2 an hour after the birth, Mom and baby had a very easy time and both are doing great!

Lyn, my advice is to pull the teeth!!!!! I can't take "good drugs, ie pain killers, etc."
they make me too sick, so when I've had teeth pulled I've only followed up with tylenol and have been fine within a day or two. Just make sure you have a great oral surgeon, I think that makes all of the difference.

Thanks again everyone,
Cindy

Oh Gee Lyn, teeth, arghhh

My DD12 had 2 wisdom teeth and 2 upper teeth pulled also for braces, she had it done about 3-4 weeks ago. Maybe because it was her wisdom teeth, but she was swollen from Friday-Tuesday, like golf balls. Then when we got home a bee flew in her mouth and stung her tongue, all of a sudden I see her spitting and I think the blood is getting the best of her and then I see a bee flying out of her mouth, Not funny but it was. Glad she wasn't allergic to bees. Her mouth wasn't even open wide just the front and that is where it stung her the tip of her tongue LOL

First of all, your poor DD, Joanna!!! *OUCH* I can't imagine getting stung on the tongue!!

Also, I agree with you about wisdom teeth taking MUCH longer to recouperate from. And like you said, you often/usually will get swelling and sometimes need stitches when you have wisdom teeth pulled. My DS13 had 4 teeth pulled last summer for braces, they were NOT wisdom teeth, and he was fine and eating that very afternoon. Not so with wisdom teeth, you just don't know if you'll swell or have a lot of pain afterwards.

Hi Guys! Lyn I say Pull the tooth. If you have to have liquids still by the time we sail I say Margarita Diet??? lol! Bobby I am soooooo happy for you! We know who will be the first to buy baby cruise wear onboard! I too recieved my documents on Monday!!!! Whew! I can't wait to see everyone. Lyn I think you might have a few DISers who could help you if you need to drink liquids!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pattiteach]

Does anyone have kids aged 10, 7,(boys) and 4 (girl) crusining? I am really worried that they will not go with the clubs because they are in 3 different groups and they are shy at first. My husband John , really does want to do some things by ourselves, But I am really nervous about them not liking going with the groups. The older one, Eric, might, the other two no, unless they had a friend. I don't know if there is a family in the same boat as mine , and maybe would get together so that they could meet??? Help!!! It is our vacation to right?!!!!!

 

[winnyis]

Patti.. I have a 6 year old DD who would be in the same kids club group as your son (5-7) and a 4 year old niece.

Are you guys staying at the radisson the night before... if so we can introduce them at the pool.

Lyn.. I would also say go ahead and have the dental work done before the cruise... I had an absess once and it was horrible. I would think within a few days you would be ok.
