We were on a Mediterranean Cruise which would have encompassed Thanksgiving and our 43rd wedding anniversary. After falling ill during one of the excursions, I was diagnosed and treated on board the cruise ship whose physician determined I need to be hospitalized at the next port which was Split, Croatia. I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and was admitted to a government hospital in Split. I ended up there for 17 days.
