Marlene continues to have a fever and her leg continues to swell. The fever is less – around 101 – but the leg swelling and pain is worse. We discussed the option of going to the infirmary, but she declined. I didn’t argue because while her condition is cause for concern, I doubt that much could be done for her. We decided to wait two more days then go to urgent care on shore.
Because she was still ill and we would have to take a tender to shore, we just stayed on the ship. She was well enough to spend some time on the balcony, soaking up the very intense sun. But I had breakfast alone, taking food to Marlene in the cabin. She was well enough to have lunch with me. After lunch I did some blogging. She did accompany me to dinner in the buffet, then we spent an hour in the casino. We both lost, but not much. We are both still ahead.
We played one game of rummy and of course she won.
We had a late night snack at The Local, the 24-hour restaurant on the ship. We shared pretzel bites, a salad and some large wings with a sweet chili sauce. Delicious! And free!
