Day 28, Sick at Sea

Wednesday, November 30, 2022.
We were cruising the Coral Sea all day. We ate breakfast with Ruth. I had oatmeal, and I felt a bit queasy. Not seasick, the seas were calm.
But my guts were far from calm. By 11am, I had called down to the medical center. “Double bucket”! Enough said. They gave Jim some Imodium to bring to me. At 4pm, a nurse came to our room and gave me an injection in my bum. She promised I would not vomit again. But I did. Around 8pm I went to the medical center, and they gave me 2 bags of intravenous fluids before they wheeled me back to our room late that night. What a horrible day! The only saving grace was the kindness and competence of the staff in the medical center.
