mmm dark-side of the force

Hi all, here's hoping all is as well as we can expect in our respective worlds.

Just reading up on sp02 reads between a couple of you and it prompted me to check mine...98% which I'm really pleased about as I've contracted that which must not be named for the second time. Last time was a week before my HA, so here's hoping for a better outcome this time, mind you I was blissfully unaware of anything to do with things like (sorry now for the abbreviations) STEMI, LVEP, drug eluting stents, etc etc, before. Must say I've been far less affected this time apart from the timing! We've lost our cruise, supposed to be departing today (boo) but still +ve too close to departure 😱 Take care y'all

Don’t want to bother you, but if you were leaving from Southampton the boat has just sailed. They go past us down the Solent.

Sorry Hylda2, meant to say what a lovely part of the world you are, more than jealous. I'd never be off the cruise ships if I was that close , much to Mrs Cruisers annoyance - put on of course, she's just as bad as me! 😄

Have been on several cruises but OH got fed up halfway through a five week cruise to Carribean and won’t go again. Had a river cruise along the Rhine. I loved that more as ships are getting too big.

Absolutely, way too big. We were meant to visit Hamburg this week, we've been before & love the sail down the river into the city, oh well....Always fancied the Caribbean, never made it yet, we need an early Easter to get the 2 weeks, we have to follow school hols & don't want to go at Xmas, plenty of deals always around 😀

Sorry to hear you couldn’t go on your cruise.

98% is a good saturation rate, especially when you’ve got [the virus that can’t be named]. Try to check your SPO2 once a day whilst you have the virus, it may give you a good indication on whether your oxygen levels are being affected by it or not.

I hope you feel better soon 🤞🏽

Thanks and will do on the sp02 reads, feeling really well today & will get to carry over the holiday days to the next one (already looking). Bit fed up about the cruise, but Mrs Cruiser succumbed yesterday (my fault of course) so we'd have been scuppered anyway. Every cloud has a silver lining as they say 👍😜
