Medical Centre:
Around New Zealand:
There is a type of virus going round the decks, up the stairwells, down the elevator shafts and landing in every area of the dining room. It consists of coughing, sore throat and annoying looks by healthy people. I caught it and went down to the lowest level of the ship to see the Doctor. It’s a small waiting room with very small seats pushed close together that aid in the spreading of whatever it is that everyone is there to see the Doctor about. It was obvious that it doesn’t matter if your cough is in English, Spanish, German, Yiddish, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese or any other of the many languages spoken on board: you must first fill out the paperwork!
Now this is no ordinary cough. People in wheelchairs have coughed and ended up 10 back from where they were, people in electric wheel chairs depending on which way they are facing will do 360’s in the opposite direction and if facing forward will do wheelies straight back and those on walkers find themselves after a cough two to three feet behind the walker and grasping for something to hold onto.
Well, that’s a slight exaggeration but you get the idea. However, a quick RX for amoxicillin, robitussin and nose drops and a few days rest and missing the blog and I’m back on the road to wellness.

Take your meds, Tom and get well. (Only you could turn a cold epidemic into a comedy routine!)Yer Mysticpals
PS. When you feel better, we'd love to see another picture of you and Sandy
Hope you're feeling better, Tom, and that Sandy did not fall ill as well. We're really enjoying the blog but missing you.
