Hi Everyone...<br /><br />It&#39;s a beautiful day here today.  We are having some great weather this week.  It&#39;s 79 right now, and at night it cools off enough to sleep well.  Some of you may have noticed that I haven&#39;t been posting much lately.  Things have been kind of crazy here.  I have been battling a problem with my disk in my neck and, a problem with my left shoulder and weak arm problems, and then pulled a muscle in my back.  <br /><br />I have gone for therapy and had to put off an MRI since I didn&#39;t think I could lay in the &quot;tunnel&quot; till my back got better.  Anyway...I had an MRI of my shoulder yesterday, and tomorrow I will have one of my back.  Doctor thinks I may have a rotator cuff problem with the left and maybe bone spurs pinching off my nerves.  I already have an impingement syndrome in that shoulder plus arthritis and bursitis,  and also a slight rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder which has made me a bit worried about losing the use of both arms at the same time.  I also had a few episodes of the vertigo back...when it rains it sometimes pours.  LOL<br /><br />With all of this we have a health issue for Marc (he doesn&#39;t want to talk about it at this time) so please keep us in your prayers.  We are also getting ready for our Oosterdam cruise.  We ARE going.  My doctor is going to give me a shot of cortisone in my left shoulder and in my back once he knows where to put it.  (LOL)  I should be in better shape for the cruise then, and when I get back we will see what else is needed...and Marc, too. We are very excited about our cruise.    We leave on October 9th for San Diego, and sail on the 11th.  Marc&#39;s birthday is next Thursday and our girls and their families will be coming over.  We&#39;re looking forward to seeing them.  We are staying very positive about everything.  <br /><br />My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by the recent storms...God Bless&#33;<br /><br />I know I am way behind in posting and Iknow I can&#39;t go back and catch up wth everyone, so I will just start here.  Sorry that I have missed so much...I have tried to peek in once in awhile.<br /><br />Maria, and Keith and Rita...so sorry that &#39;Ike&quot; has given you so much trouble.<br /><br />Ed...hope you have good results from the colonoscopy.<br /><br />Mary Lou...have a nice time at the casino.
