WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 15

[LuvBaloo]

I am way behind and haven't read anything except the current page. It was a crazy week for me, and I stayed off the Dis to get stuff done. I'm happy to say that I wrote my final exam for the current course this week, and feel confident that I passed. I'm even happier to say that I'm not starting another course right away.

Kathe, sending hugs to you, for the loss of your brother.

I'm still loopy and sleepy since I'm on Vicodin. I soaked today and cleaned with Iodine....no pumping and no exercise bike today. I have started antibiotics but we won't know if they're the right ones until the culture comes back on Tuesday. Then we'll switch if we need to. But he wanted to get me started on something immediately. I'm taking Bactrim. I took it for the last infection. I'm soaking and wrapping all by myself without John being home. This is the first time in two years that I'm able to do that. It helps ease the burdon off of John.

The doctor basically said that the infection lies dormant under the surface, like a volcano, and then flares up from time to time. We clear up the surface, but we can't reach under the scars and bumps to clear it up completely. He said think of an ear of corn. There are tiny crevices hidden below the surface where it lingers. He's thinking about it and he suggested trying some sort of water pressure treatment when we clear it up on the surface again. We have to get it there first and we're working on that right now.

Deb... I think LOTS of people are changing around their cruise plans... Keeps Disney on their toes at least...

Hi Michelle....I think we only want to go on the ones where we can all go together. I know I do.

But I'll take short ones alone with John. That's nice too.

Hi Shannon!!!

Deb... did the Dr. say anything about soaking the leg IN bubbly instead of taking it Orally???

Well... it is snowing in Houston... my sister hasn't driven in snow in 18 years... and Brian has never done so... I have texted him instructions on how to put the car into 2nd gear and beware of black ice... hopefully they will cancel the Xmas show he's in tonight...

& I still think it's unfair that he gets snow 24 hours before I do...

I think that's just so funny. I saw the snow path on the map....all the southern states are getting hit. My brother will probably be right on the line in Corpus Christi. At least he knows how to drive in snow having grown up in the northeast.

I hope everyone stays safe.

Hi Shannon, what a great accomplishment. I don't know how you did it. Working and being a mom are two full time jobs already. You're amazing. Good for you!!

Glad you're back for a little now. We have missed you.

I think orally works better for bubbly Michelle. JMHO. Ha!

Cold here today. It's currently 26F/-3C.

Well the end of a L O N G and rather stressful week.

How odd that only a week ago there was all the holiday season hubbub at Eastwood Manor.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Ian, sorry it seems like the Eastwood Manor turkey day was so long ago. At least you have the memories and we have the videotapes. Haha.

I tried booking my hotel for next year and it tells me that I have another week to wait. I'll book next week.

It's very cold here too. It feels like winter has arrived.

Next year will be fun when we have the gathering of the clan at Eastwood Manor.

We will be celebrating a very traditional Eastwood Manor Christmas. Which means the traditional yuletide Eastwood Manor meal, egg and chips, plus great lashings of eggnog, wine (for me) and cheese, and various goodies. Plus doing jigsaw puzzles.

8 PM Eastern on ABC is "Dreams Come True: A Celebration of Disney Animation." I'm recording it. It reviews 75 years and previews "The Princess and the Frog." I can't wait.

Thanks Deb...

& Ian... Mom takes Seagrams VO with her eggnog... a little nutmeg please...

It sounds heavenly Ian. And will we be doing jigsaw puzzles in our footy pajamas? That's the best way to do them ya know.

You're welcome Shell.

I LOVE eggnog.

 

[TammyAlphabet]

I'll miss you! I knew you weren't going, didn't realize you hadn't actually cancelled yet until today.

I, on the other hand, paid in full today. I was able to drop to a cat 12 from my cat 11, keep my cheap airfare and save another $500.00

Nan, I'm sorry about the job.Something better is just around the corner, you wait and see

for all that need them. I won't list all your names, I'm afraid I'll leave someone out.

I'll try to read when I can, but may not be posting too much for a bit. I'm very overwhelmed in my life right now. It's so very busy here, and I really did think I was adjusting, but I got some sad news yesterday and am not coping very well. My eldest brother has passed away. I, along with the rest of my family, had not seen or heard from him in years. It is a very sad story. He just couldn't stop the alcohol and drug abuse that started when he was a teenager. He passed three weeks ago but is still not laid to rest because until someone found me yesterday, they had been unable to find any next of kin I am still getting details from police and waiting for the coroner to call me. I am going to visit another brother of mine tomorrow to share with him the very, very sad details of his life that I am starting to find out. We will have to decide together what we will do next, as none of the rest of the family will have anything to do with my brother, even in his death If you would say a prayer for my late brother, David, it would be appreciated. Thanks

So sorry Kathe.

Oh Deb, get better real soon!!!

Thanks Tammy. I only have 5 weeks until I'm cruising a 4 nighter on the Wonder. Just me and John for his birthday. Well that and the fact that we're trying to reach platinum before boarding the Dream MV.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

How are you doing Tammy? How are the kids? This has to be a very hard time of the year for you all. With the holidays and then the anniversary of losing your DH. What was his name please? I need to keep him in my prayers and all of you too. Hugs sweetie. I'm thinking about you all.

You are really sweet! I will always say that the WB repo was the most magical cruise I have ever taken or will take. And it is all because of the people!

His name was Nader. (pronounced nodder) Some of the people he worked with started a facebook memorial site for him that I discovered a few months ago. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9646286900&ref=ts

Lots of funny stories there that kinda highlight how loved he was!
