As much I really do feel your pain right now, Thank-you for this post. Let me explain......I have 6 gallbladder tumours and am having some troubles with them and gallbladder sludge at the moment. I had a bad attack last week and the doctor wants me to have it taken out. I haven't had any major problems for 6 months, but I was eating bad.Anyway, I chose NOT to have it taken out right now, as If I eat well and look after myself (I see a naturopath) I am mostly pain free. I have read so much about people having just as much pain, loose bowel movements and nausea after the surgery, So why would I undergo surgery if nothing is going to change? I don't have stones so there minimal chances of the tumours dislodging, Otherwise I would probably have it taken out.
I truly hope you get some relief soon, My naturopath put me onto a website that has some great info, Especially about Diet, There are definitely foods that set me off (coffee, more than 3 alcoholic drinks, excessive dairy, nuts!), It may be worth looking at. If you think the surgery is worth it, please give me you opinion, TIA.

I have just got a new computer (yea MacBook) and I am able to join the disboard again so you don't have to think I am just a figment of my DD Terapin's imagination. I have been able to read all the posts but I could have filled a bathtub in the time it took my old system to respond. Did I say I loved my MacBook! I have loved reading all your news and look forward to meeting all of you.
Terapin's mum!!
I am waaaayyyy back here on posts, but had to stop and say, we're getting side by side ones right????

John picked up his new iPhone 4 this morning. Well it was this afternoon actually after he had queued for 5 hours!!!
I posted the sizes for our airline much earlier in this forum. I will post again and show what we bought.
Carry on size is as follows:
Cabin baggage
For reasons of safety as well as convenience, each passenger is only allowed to take one item of cabin baggage into the cabin. Cabin baggage must not weigh more than 6 kg (8 kg incl. laptop) and the dimensions must not exceed 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. Passengers in airberlin’s business class may take a second item of cabin baggage weighing up to 6 kg on board.
6 kg - 13 lbs 3 oz 8 = 17 lbs 10 oz
55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. = 21.7" x 15.7" x 7.9"
Checked baggage:
Free baggage allowance
On short-haul and medium-haul flights the maximum free baggage allowance for checked baggage is 20 kg per passenger. Cost for extra baggage is 5 euros per 4 kg or if you have a bag that weighs, for example, 20 kg, you will pay 100 Euros for the bag itself and 50 Euros for having an extra bag.
20 kg = 44 lbs 1 oz
This is the extra bag we bought to carry on which meets the exact specs.
That is so helpful, Noel. Thank you.
With respect to health issues, I didn't tell my DD's story to scare anyone, only to warn you that they didn't seem to take my DD's health concerns very seriously. I was expecting them to be more through and was very disappointed when DCL did not seem to be concerned with a serious misdiagnosis. If you have any concerns before you sail, you should review them with your own physician and get their recommendation.
If we would have thought at the onset that DD's sore leg was anything even slightly more serious, we would have had her seen before we left. She had been over exercising so all of us (including her) thought is was sore muscles.
When the pain persisted even though she was resting, I think they might have recommended we see a physician before we flew home. I specifically asked them that question and was told, no need, just get plenty of rest. Only an over zealous Mom like me insisted she see a Doctor which resulted in her hospitalization.
Just my thoughts.....
). This trip I'm seeing a lot of Virginians (we live in the Fredericksburg area); very cool!
Hi All!
I've posted now and then, but have mostly been absent from these discussions due to a killer work and travel schedule, and notice that there are a lot more folks posting here now. I'm Richard, and my DW is the Lady Jacky. She's English, I'm American, but we've both lived in Toronto, Canada for quite some years now. (Toronto's a great compromised between London and NYC!).
My DW and I celebrated our 30th anniversary with a cruise on the Magic January 17th, 2009. Following the cruise, there was a lot of moping on the boards from those of us on that cruise, it was so great - yet we found that there were a lot of us from the 1/17/09 cruise who had also booked for the WBTA, so I'm curious: How many of you were also on that cruise? Here's a partial list of folks that had booked:
fltink
Futurist
mmouse37
4Goofy4Dis
RCostello1
Sparky47
Maxs GM
Ibouncetoo
Narnian_Princess
I haven't seen many of these names on this set of boards. Are any of you still here and still planning to be on board?
And to the rest of you who weren't there, we will look forward to meeting you all on board.
Finally, to all you pirates, princesses, and fun-sized folks and soon to be shipmates:
TAKE WHAT YOU CAN!!!
Richard
