Good morning, Cruise Crazies,<br />
<br />
I hope all of you are well.<br />
<br />
The latest on the saga of my godmother is she seems to be doing fine. I finally got a chance to see a doctor or it&#39;s more a doctor wanted to see me. Basically, he asked more questions than he was giving answers. I think He was trying to assess whether or not my godmother had dementia. I answered some basic questions about her daily routine and that she was not in the habit of burning her food while she cooks and her long term and short term memory seem to be intact. I told him I didn&#39;t think she was losing it mentally yet but I may be a little too close to her. He did tell me she was being treated for a urinary tract infection. The reasons for it are unknown at this time. He did say her memory of the events of what happened on the day she blacked out are unlikely to come to the surface. Meanwhile, I&#39;m going to be vigilant of her neighbors when she returns home. I don&#39;t know when that will be.<br />
<br />
In my last visit with my godmother, she seemed to have lost the mechanism for tactfulness. She even hurled some insulting remarks towards me. I whispered a little prayer so that I wouldn&#39;t respond in a disrespectful way. So there may be signs that something is amiss. <br />
<br />
I have to ask for your continued prayers to help her relatives, friends and me deal with this situation.<br />

I agree with you completely about the excitement of a first cruise.<br />
<br />
How are you doing on the road?<br />

Isn&#39;t it amazing how the ship converts landlubbers into experienced seaman? <br />
<br />
I have to admit that I was one of those people who was afraid I might be hemmed in on a ship. Little did I know that I would be floating on a miniature city.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your babysitting and get those summer clothes together<br />

I don&#39;t think a PM to SCIROCCO would hurt. I think we should show him we&#39;re concerned about him. After all, it was a sudden disappearance.<br />
