Wow&#33;  What an evening&#33;  I&#39;m using my old lap top because my new laptop has Vista and it decided it no longer wanted to work&#33;  Have talked to half the population of India tonight and guess what, it still doesn&#39;t work&#33;  Will try again tomorrow.<br /><br />Got the stiches out this afternoon on my cheek.  Looks good, doctor should be a seamstress&#33;  Now the rest of the story&#33;  Next Friday I  go back to get stiches removed from my shoulder AND have a growth removed from my back&#33;  The Friday after that I go back to get the stiches out of my back AND take more margins from my shoulder. My main concern is that all these incessions heal before the cruise in 6 weeks.  I would hate to be leaking martinis all over the ship&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Mary Lou...Good news for Ashleigh and your stress test.  That puts a smile on my face&#33;<br /><br />Ed....So you were in the Navy.  We Marines have great respect for the Navy.  After all if it weren&#39;t for the Navy who would provide the Marines with transportation&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Cheryl....Will be glad to say a prayer for your friend Beverly andher baby.  Your friends are special people.<br /><br />Joey...Welcome back, hope you really enjoyed your cruise. <br /><br />It&#39;s scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker&#33;<br /><br />Steve<br /><br /><br /><br />
