Thanks, everyone! We are preparing for our trip at a snail's pace.

I have uveitis again. This is an eye condition which causes blindness in 30,000 people each year. It is an inflamation in the iris (color part) of the eye. I had a flare up last August through October that was much worse than this one. However, we are treating it aggressively and have positive thoughts. Sunlight shoots pain through my eye and into my head. I'm excited about the cruise, but am anxious how I am going to react to the sun in the Caribbean. My doctors have given me lots of medicine to take with in case it gets worse while on vacation. We're also discussing new treatment options for my psoriatic arthritis, which is the reason I have uveitis. The medicine is called Humira and the chance of me getting uveitis again while on this treatment is minimal. The only downside is that it's an injected drug that I must take each week for the rest of my life.

I am lucky because many people have serious health issues that cannot be treated. Thanks for everything, my fellow Cruise Crazies! I will have an excellent time on the cruise no matter what. (Please get a yearly eye exam. Do it for yourself and your family.)

Crazie is ready to go! You're right, she is a handful!
