We're expecting you up there on the dance floor

Now that will be a "SCARY" sight, LOL!!!

Thanks Mary, finally fell asleep around 3am and woke up at 6am, knee pain has eased off some more, stomach is still a bit queazy. I just love these cortisone shots, NOT!!! LOL!!!

Andy,

I think thats why I put up with my knee as much as I do.
The pain is less trouble than the shot sometimes

Hope you feel better as the day goes on.

Ed--I agree with you, this was my last resort(cortisone shot). The pain was so bad by the end of the work day on Monday I had tears streaming from my eyes on the way to see the doc, and I have a high pain tolerance. I'm home today resting my knee and putting ice on it to help with the swelling.

Hi all!

Like Bev I too have been very busy with school, but I do keep up all the time.

Happy Birthday to all you April babies!!!

Doreen: Congrats! I can't imagine how proud you must be!

Andy: So sorry to hear you've been in pain & then sick to your stomach...yuck! Hang in there!

Welcome to our new members!!!

We go on our NCL cruise out of NY in less than 2 weeks and I have school this coming weekend so I will be even busier than usual.

Take Care everyone!

Thanks Andy! I will be sure to give an update when I get back. I'm praying for good weather when we hit Port Canaveral because we have an excursion booked at the Holiday Inn-Cocoa Beach where I will be meeting my mother & sisters. If it's raining, I think we will be spending a looooong time at Ron Jon's surf shop!

Andy so sorry to hear of such stomache problems with the cortisone. I have had so many of them and never had any trouble in that area... You sure you are not sick with the stomache bug as well... You need to try this ointment I have "TRAUMEEL" but you need to find it at a health store.. not at the regular pharmacy stores.. Give it a try.. Honestly,,, it works like a miracle...At least it can take the edge off...

Today was my DADS bday,.. so now 2 down in my family... 2 more to go...

CAROL and family... welcome to our family of cruisers....

Diane.. thank you for the congrats..
I am still so proud...

JOANNA where are you?? Bobby and CINDY do you know where she is?? COme out come out where ever you are??

I am off to bed.. this Time changeis really knicking me off key.. take care everyone...

Darlene - My DD just turned 6 the other day, so 7 at time of cruise. Our whole timing is based on DS being almost 3 1/2 so I'll be hard-core geared to getting him full-up potty trained before August 06!

Andy - hope you are feeling better. I loved the story and pictures of you getting to sound the ship's horn. That was so cool! (Actually, I think the whole notion of the Captain knowing you by your handle was just as great!)

I cannot wait to count down the months - there are a lot of little trips planned between now and then, but nothing compares. DH thinks I've lost my mind, though.

 

[Verandah Man]

Doreen--I'm feeling fine tonight, pain in the knee is nearly completely gone and my stomach is feeling back to normal. I've had a few cortisone shots in the past, and I always get an upset stomach after these shots and it always last about 24 hours. I don't seem to do well when it comes to foreign injections entering my body. The only thing I don't seem to have trouble with is flu shots.

Andy and Doreen, have been "evesdropping" on your conversation over knee pain Tim "blew" one of his knees out a few years ago and still gives him great discomfort now and again. His other knee bothers as well now from "babying" the other one... Did not know about the shots so may mention it to him. I do not think he has as much pain as you though Andy. Over the weekend will try to find the oinment you were speaking of Doreen. Maybe it will help both of us sleep better

Have a great day all, I am off to school but it is a 1/2 day. Work shop this afternoon and planning on skipping it , it is has been in the 50's and I want to enjoy it

Mary

 

[Verandah Man]

Mary--I woke up this morning pain free in my right knee, these shots can last for months or up to years depending on each person. Me, being on my feet all day, plus climbing so many stairs, and then bending up and down reading curb meters, I tend not to get relief as long as others do. But this shot was really needed for me this time. I'm going to see if I can find the cream that Doreen mentioned as well, and give that a try.

We are going into the upper 70's today, with plenty of it will actually feel like Spring today!!!

I've got to take Angelina to school, then come back home and get ready for work.

 

[newholidayx2]

Its early yet, but some rain on Friday, and Sunny in the 60's for the weekend

If you believe the weather people.

 

[8 Ears]

Thanks for the low down Andy. Tim is on a cement floor all day but does not do as much walking or climbing stairs as you do. He has a doctors appointment in 2 weeks so will ask about it then.

For us way up here in Maine it looks like a beautiful weekend , hope everyone is as lucky

Have a great day all!

Mary

 

[Reenieny18]

Can you imagine the people who put wall -to - wall carpet in.. have you ever seen how they bang that machine with their knees?? OOCCCHHHH!!!!
I wonder what the work related injury rate is with that profession?

Andy glad your feeling better.. Next time you need to get a cortisone shot.. eat before you go....

Terry anything with a mini meet this SPRING??? I am heading down to VIRGINIA again to bring DANIEL there for the week to visit KAREN.. Busy week again... Down next FRIDAY.. Jaclyn thinks she will have her permit and wants to drive while we are in VIRGINIA... and we will be back home on SUNDAY or MONDAY....

I think I live inmy car sometime..

Have a great day everyone

Doreen

Hi Doreen--I came home from work on Monday at 3pm and Hazel had dinner ready for me because she knew I would be in the doctor's office for over two hours. So I did have a nice meal before getting the shot. I arrived at the doctor's office at 4pm and was finally leaving at 6:10pm. The doctor was in surgery, he didn't even get to the office until 5pm. That's what I was saying before, I always have the same reaction to these cortisone shots, whether I eat before I go, or not, just my system I guess.

I just got home for lunch and it's time to put on the shorts and t-shirt. It is absolutely beautiful here today, going up to 78 degrees!!!

78???? You are soooo lucky! If it was that warm here I would be sitting on my porch just soaking up the sun! We've barley hit 60 degrees yet this spring!

 

[newholidayx2]

Im home for my lunch break - man is it nice out there!
hopefully it will still be warm when I get out of work - I hate the beginning of spring - all I want to do is get outside and I cant! Listening to my friend Jimmy going back & forth reminding me of why Im working - Disney vacations!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED A NICE WEEKEND!

yeah I got out for an hr walk after work
