[RachelTori]

[dgbg100106]

[wendypooh]

Afternoon J's & K's - hope all of you who are sick start to feel better SOOON!!!! -- My nose has been running, my allergies/sinuses are winning today!!! On a good note, we've been at DS's honor roll assembly this morning!!

Brandi - goodness, I hope you feel better soon!!! How's the foot doing today?

MMRules - Congrats on your trip!!!

WOW... I have used that a lot in the past (I a terrible stuffy nose during grass season here - which is from now until Independence day... ) and have NEVER experienced that feeling. Might want to call and ask if there is something else you can try... that sounds like severe post nasal drip/nasal infection if it is infecting your throat that badly. Around here they tend to put us on antibiotics when it gets that bad. I'm so sorry you feel that bad today!

I had a quick question/poll for you guys as well! This will be our first stay at AKL (we rented points yay!) and I would like to do a dinner on at the resort. If you had to pick ONE place, which would it be? I'm leaning away from Boma just because we have small appetites so we tend to feel we could get better "quality" food for as much or less.

OK it is so bad today that I can't swallow without pain... SO I am heading to the Dr in a box this morning to see what is going on.

Oh my, not good at all. I hope they got you something to feel better. I'm glad you went.

Thanks, I'm finally on the mend. Allergies can be just as bad as sickness, I hope you feel better soon yourself.

Congratulations on your trip! If we had to pick one place it would always hands down be Jiko. Every meal we've had there has been marvelous.

Congratulations!!!

Congrats on the honor roll...

I just took a nice hot shower and I feel some what better, but not 100%, still pain behind the eyes and in the nasal cavity... My allergies are winning today too. So I took the rest of the day off and plan on curling up in the bed here at the hotel.

The foot has been doing every day, still swelling some and just trying to remember to walk correctly is the hardest for me.

How is the PT coming?

Spoken as someone who feels my pain... Yes it is a post nasal drip and coming from allergies. I am already on Singular, Zyxal, and nasaquart for my allergies, so I was not expecting to get hit this hard down here.

I fly home tomorrow so I was hoping to get some relief before I get on the plane, but we will see.

Congrats on your AKL stay! We love it there.

So is it just the two of you? I would suggest Jiko, they have some amazing apps that you could ordered maybe three and get to try some neat things and fill up and I agree, better $$$ spent.

BUT.... We love Saana also. the meals are a little more hearty there, lots of roasted meats and veggies.

Are you staying at Jambo or Kidani?

Yes, allergies suck! Glad you are on the mend...

Congrats on the honor roll...

I just took a nice hot shower and I feel some what better, but not 100%, still pain behind the eyes and in the nasal cavity... My allergies are winning today too. So I took the rest of the day off and plan on curling up in the bed here at the hotel.

The foot has been doing every day, still swelling some and just trying to remember to walk correctly is the hardest for me.

How is the PT coming?

Thanks!!!

I'm glad you took the rest of the day off, it's NO fun having allergies that bad, I certainly feel for you!!! Try to rest if you can and stay off that foot!!!! Maybe you can call down and ask someone to bring you some ice for your foot??? I'm glad your headed home tom. so David can take care of you!!! Hugs my friend!!

As for my PT - actually it's stopped for now, my ortho wants to see how I can manage on my own for a couple of months - I'm trying to do my own pt at home, it seems to be going good, my range of motion is SO much better, I think thats why he wanted me to try things on my own - but, I go back in May just before the trip, so, I'm hoping I won't have to go back to "real pt" -

Oh no, a plane trip too?! I hope you feel better very soon, good call on taking time off!

It IS just the two of us, a bunch of apps sounds wonderful! We do lots of beef roasts with veggies in the crockpot here but if Sanaa does more exotic cuts of lamb or something that could be very good too, I will have to take a look at the current menu.

I'm not certain which side we will be in since we are on points... is there a way I can tell? We just signed up for a standard room (although savannah view was very tempting!). We are hoping we can just take our tea and cereal to a public area to eat it and save the $!

Currently I am propped up on the bed with a bag of ice on my foot, There is a kitchen in my room and the ice maker is working steady! But thanks for thinking about me!

I am so glad to hear that things are going good, and you are healing. Hugs my friend!

Whom ever you rented your points from, had to pick between Jambo and Kidani, I would ask them.

There are many, many, MANY places to sit back relax and enjoy the animals, you are not required to have a savannah view.

Yes they have different cuts of meat and I know the lamb is good, if you like spices you will enjoy Saana, they have a wonderful bread service. I have pictures in my last TR of food from both places, if you want look through them...

I'm glad to hear you're taking it easy and resting.......... and Thanks, I'm doing VERY well - thank goodness - it's been a looooooooooooooooooong couple of years!!!

I had a quick question/poll for you guys as well! This will be our first stay at AKL (we rented points yay!) and I would like to do a dinner on at the resort. If you had to pick ONE place, which would it be? I'm leaning away from Boma just because we have small appetites so we tend to feel we could get better "quality" food for as much or less.

AquaDame - another vote for Sanaa - we LOVE it, the food is outstanding - I must confess we've never been to Jiko - but, I don't think you can go wrong at any of the restaurants at AKL - Boma is also very good!!!
And, Brandi is correct, when the person you bought pts. from made the reservation - they had choose, either Kidani or Jambo house - you prob. want to find that info out!!
You'll LOVE either one, Kidani is our absolute favorite!!! Enjoy your trip!!

 

[franandaj]

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and thoughts

Around dinner time last night my husband phoned my surgeon's office and 15 minutes later had a call back giving me permission to up the pain meds for a day or two. I got a good night of sleep last night and feel so much better today! Pain is managed now, PTL!

Yes, June will be my therapy month. Hopefully by July I will be able to safely resume my homemaker skills including food preparation. We eat a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits & proteins. DH perfectly prepared steamed broccoli last night to go along with reheated crab quiche I had made the day before surgery.

Thanks for all of your encouragement. And my best to those of you who are also dealing with your own illnesses etc. You are a fun and caring, sometimes goofy (in a good way) group of people.

I'm glad that you finally got some relief from the pain. That is always so terrible to be in pain.

OK it is so bad today that I can't swallow without pain... SO I am heading to the Dr in a box this morning to see what is going on.

I hope that it improves before you have to get on the plane.

AKL vacation scheduled for Feb 2013....only 11 months to go

Yay! You will have a wonderful time!

 

[CJsMom]

....or, having a Nahtazu or two[or three, or four, or...] really helps.....well, that, or it makes you FORGET about that sore throat.

Oh no!

I am joining you all in sickness - sprained my ankle while walking the dog. I have to say the pain isn't too bad, just sore, but what a nuisance. The doctor is telling me that I have to stay off of it. Hmm, 2 kids, dog, work, how is that possible?
