Hi everyone,

I've been really thinking about changing the 8/06 cruise to the 11 day in 9/06. I have good and bad news........ The good news is I'm not changing our cruise and the bad news is - you're all stuck with me. lol I checked into the prices today for the 11 day cruise and for the 4 of us in a cat 9 with my travel agent discount was over $4700. Besides, I couldn't leave my DIS friends

Andy - how are you doing today?

Barb - sending you and your family PD Hang in there

Tina - how are you doing? Any more clues.

How many of the Cruising Castaways are going on the Repo cruise next week? Hope you all have a great time. I'm sooooo jealous.

Have a good one.

Bev

Hi All,

I'm feeling a bit better today that I did yesterday, hopefully each day I'll be feeling better than the day before!!!

Bev--I'm kinda happy to hear the good news/bad news report, I'm sure the 11 day cruise would have been nice. I have so many magnetic door signs and t-shirts going on the Repo Cruise, it will feel as though I'm on it. At least I will be there in spirit, I have been made an honorary member of that cruise.

Bev: Wish I was going on the repo cruise Wish I could go on the 11 day cruise GLAD your not ! Now enough talk about that o.k that first line in your post had me going.............so no more clues for you until one week from Friday.

Andy: That's what I like to hear a little bit better each day.

Hello all from Walt Disney World.


Andy sorry to hear you will not be able to make the trip,but that is understandable. I was out a month when my qaud tendon reputured in 98. It takes time but does heal.

thanks everyone for Dave's pixie dust - much appreciated - his operation is getting closer

Ed - have you seen Mickey yet? We have plans to see him the 14th at O'Hanas. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Andy - take care of that knee. Maybe we need to setup a phone call for the DISmeet?

We are taking one of Andy's Repo Cruise magnets with us through the Panama Canal! It has been hanging over my desk for over a year now. Hope I don't forget to take it down and bring it.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week !

Dave will be in our prayers.

Bev, I'm glad you are sticking around with us. I wondered about the 11 night cruise. Hey we will have enough fun to fill 11 nights (it will just be crammed into 7 nights!)

Goodnight!
Darlene

Hi Guys,

I had an amazing morning at PT today, I know that sounds strange, but let me share. First I did all my regular leg exercises, then my therapist (Mike) announces to me that he is going to put me on the treadmill. I almost fell on the floor in a fit of laughter. Without using my crutches, I hobbled across the room to the treadmill machine, got on and away I go. Mike set the machine for only five minutes at a slow 1.3mph speed, but I managed to do all five minutes and did NOT have one bit of pain!!!

I see my surgeon this afternoon for my first post-op visit. One more thing, I'm finished with the brace, and the doc will most likely release me from the crutches this afternoon. I haven't needed to use the crutches all weekend at home, but I did use them when I went to therapy this morning because it was raining, and I didn't want to take any chances of slipping and falling in the parking lot.

I've only been using Extra Strength Tylenol since Friday afternoon for the pain, I feel so better getting off the Percocet, I didn't like how that was making me feel.

Andy

The girls and I are leaving tomorrow to drive to Ft. Myers. the free dial-up we were using in FL went out of business so I'm not sure if we will be able to connect there. Hope fully we will find something or the DDs will be jones ing for a hook up.

Smiles to all

Hello Everyone !
Wanted to show some of the progress we have been making on our patio. Here are some photo's. This first one is what it looked like first. Before I even moved in there were cement slabs just sitting in spots.........They were left there for 14 years. It bothered me so much.

This photo we just started digging things out. Look how much we have to dig ! Yikes

 

[castoff]

This photo we layed the gravel & sand and started to lay the Brick. I am also doing landscaping all along the patio. I don't think you can see it in the picture but we started to put the timber in. The stairs are still missing to the deck but will go back on soon. Alot of back braking progress. Yes I am over doing it but well worth it. Chuck really deserves the credit because That's all he does on the weekends. Just hope we get to enjoy it soon.

 

[Verandah Man]

The patio area is shaping up very nice there Tina!!!

I'm still waiting to leave to go see my surgeon. I had a 2:45 appointment, but when Hazel called at 2:30 to see if he was in yet, we were told to call back at 3:00, which we did and found out the doc was still in surgery, now we have to wait until 4:00 to call. Sitting here at home, relaxing in my Eazy Boy, is better than sitting in the office waiting room listening to everyone complain about how long they have waited, been there done that myself, so now we always call before heading over.

At least this way, I can be at home surfing the web, while I'm waiting!!!

 

[Miffy2003]

Tina, that looks great

Andy, it sounds like you are making really good progress. Keep up the good work.

Ed I hope you had the most amazing time at CRT. We were overwhelmed with it here at Christmas. Truly magical!

Hello to everyone
