Hi everyone

Next month OH and I are going on a mini cruise to Spain (4 days) next month. Because of my OA, hypertension and all the meds I'm on the quotes are pricey. Any suggestions for insurance companies welcome. I used Staysure when we went to the Caribbean 2 years ago but they want a lot just for 4 days away.

It's OH's birthday and we thought this would fit in with my dodgy legs! I am getting about a lot better on the operated leg - it's the other one that causes me grief. The physiotherapist signed me off her books yesterday! She's very pleased with my progress. I'm seeing the specialist on Monday and hopefully I'll have a date for my next TKR soon. I'm looking forward to this break ...we haven't been able to go anywhere lately.

I hope you are all ok.

    Hi Sharmaine,

    There has been a lot of posts about this and one of the people who know will be along soon. I can't help as I haven't had a holiday for over 23 years though in other ways every day is one sometimes.....

    Was so pleased to see how well your doing and fingers crossed you get a date and sort the other leg out soon.

    hey enjoy your break and again so pleased you are doing so well. Enjoy your break cus well you have earned it. Luv Cris x

    Hi Cris

    Yes, I'm doing very well. I have bad days sometimes - with the other leg and OA in my shoulder but just having a bit of mobility back is wonderful.

    I hope you are ok.

    I used Norwich union declared health probs and got them covered. Also had been getting one off travel insurance but this year asked for annual and it was cheaper then one off!!! Worth asking. Enjoy you hol.
    Take care

    Thanks for this - I'll certainly get a quote from them both.
