Tragedy averted

[Capn Dan and Ruby]

Ok, It is done and over, so I will let all know. I am currently waiting to get dicharged from the hospital. I had a TIA (mini-stroke) Great to be a school teacher! I am fine now, but no diving for 6 months. Yuck!!! since I had 2 dive trips planned and 1/2 paid for while in ST John. Booo Hisss!!!!! I will be making the vaca trip though. Boy do I need it!!! I feel sad, but I am countning my blessings that I got it early and their is no permant damage. Praise God who is so good!!! Puts things in major perspective though!!!

Yay, we were pulling for you! Bummer on the dives though! Keep your chin up girlie! Hopefully we will get to meet at one of the Beach Bar parties! I will be the one with the grin ear to ear!....sorry, you can always tell a "newbie"

Glad everything turned out okay. Godspeed and have a wonderful vacation.

I'm soooo glad you are still able to travel, even if you can't dive, and thrilled that you are ok!

[augie]

I hope the trip turns out to be just what you need right now!

Glad you're OK!

I've been checking the forum for any news...so glad you're able to take this much anticipated trip. I'm hoping our paths will cross at the Beach Bar on the 5th. We both have something to toast...our original
trip was to be in February but husband slipped on ice and broke his ankle. Two plates and 6 screws later we are finally taking our trip. Hope to meet you....

So glad to hear you are ok. I'm been on pins and needles today. Didn't help that Chris picked up my cell phone this a.m. on his way to Charleston. Sorry about the money lost on dives, but small price to pay for your health and trip still on!

Ruby, so cglad that you can make this trip! bummer about thedives--but at least you will be there and can relax and snorkel and sit on the beach--have a really great trip!

Although I am sorry to hear about your dive restriction, i am happy to hear that yout TIAs are being treated. You should contact the dive shop. When they hear why you are not going, they might refund your money. It's worth asking.

So glad you are ok....enjoy St. John and just take it easy (hard not to do, huh?)

[JJShaw]

Glad to hear you are doing well..and I agree better to have had it checked and know you will be ok...
Would have been worse to have been there and had it happen..even if it still had turned out ok..
We have had you on my mind...hoping for the best..
I think the vacation will do you more good than anything..at least you will be able to go even if without the dive..Hope to meet you while we are there..

[itstheair]

Wow, so glad you are okay and can still make the trip. Being on St John will help with your recovery for sure even without the dives

Ruby - that is some scary stuff and so glad to hear you are okay and that you can still make the trip. In the whole scheme of things ,missing a few dives - really is nothing. Not sure if you can still snorkel, but I hope you can still see a few magical underwater friends, but if not enjoy the donkeys, the bananaquits, the goats, and mongoose! The visions above the water always bring a smile too!!!
have a wonderful time and REST!!!
