Our cruise got off to an interesting start on Tuesday evening – with a trip to the Emergency Room. Bonnie had carpel tunnel surgery last week, the medicos took the stitches out Tuesday afternoon, and Tuesday evening while I was packing, she looked down at her hand and said, “I’m bleeding!”
Being an Eagle Scout with a First Aid Merit Badge, I knew exactly what to do! I put my head between my legs and did not not faint.
I helped her wash her hand, and then, using band aids, pulled the wound together and off to Doctor’s Hospital. The ER doc said, “All is well, just pulled loose on top (well, duh).” He put steri-strips on and we returned to packing.
We drove to Miami yesterday, singing “Happy Birthday” to Jennifer on the way. Happy 41st to our first born. Does that make me old?
The Florida Turnpike is not user friendly. Here are some of the signs: “There are no cash ticket booths in Miami. Use Sun Pass.” “Penalty for not stopping – $100.” Liars! There are cash booths, so they stressed my co-pilot out for nothing!
Dinner at Denny’s was less than satisfactory. No apples for the chicken apple salad. Green beans that were overcooked and underflavored. A waitress who never came back. May I see the manager, please. And the price of our bill was reduced. But tonight! Yipee!
More after we get on the ship.
