Wow, Peter, what an absolutely horrendous time you've had! It must've been quite frightening to have been stuck all alone like that for 3 whole days, thank goodness for your friend! I'm very glad, though, that you really enjoyed your cruise, even if was cut short, to help recover from those two awful years and all that time in hospital.   When on the cruise, were you able to go out and about and view any sights, etc?

Hi John, yep I managed to reduce my bucket list by 1 ha Best wishes Peter

Hi Marina P&O staff on the ship were fantastic, the only thing they don't do is dress you lol.  I got celulitus in my leg one year then I fell on the floor another due to shingles and ms. I was stuck for 3 days, I had kidney failure, shingles mainly on my face and head and a large pressure sore. I felt so sick I couldn't reach my mobile or landline. I was lucky that a friend rang several times, became worried I hadn't answered so rang 999, there ends my tale of woe.  How arse you?    Best wishes Peter  

PS - I hope you won't mind, @Trace , if I move this to the "Lounge" section, as it would be more appropriate there

Ah... Just to explain something for the sake of those using mobiles... When using a desktop browser on a computer, the name of the member who's posted is on the left of their post and not above it like on mobiles. Below their name on the left is a section that shows some profile stuff, including “Location” - but this doesn’t show on mobiles (or in portrait view on tablets) as there isn’t space for it on the smaller screens. Websites on mobiles are very often cut-down or simplified versions of what people see on desktop computers, so there might be bits that are visible in desktop browsers but missing on mobiles. For those of us on desktop computers, this is how we’d see that section below the member's name, with their "Location" if they've chosen to enter it in their profile:     That said, not everyone wishes to enter their location, so the "Location" bit may not show for all members, although one can see all profile details if one goes to someone's actual profile page (by clicking on their name or avatar).
