Alaska Cruise
I had just spent the past 6 days on a Norwegian cruise ship with my Mom, sister, and her family. We had an amazing time, but one of the kids was sick when we left. By day 4, everyone was sick (with a head cold) except me and my brother in law.
We were having our last buffet dinner on our Alaska cruise. It was an amazing time, despite everyone getting sick. I was full of energy as I went to get a plate of food. I actually felt like dancing. As I was walking back to the table I started to feel exhausted. I could feel my eyes getting heavy, and my feet were starting to drag. By the time I reached the table, I was completely spent and had barely enough energy to put my plate on the table.
I couldn’t get to my seat so I tried to sit down against a wall. I misjudged and crashed down into the railing with my hip. It only lasted less than a minute, but my sister and her husband were there and reassured those around that I was ok. As I came out, my energy returned and I felt as full of energy as I did before.
My hip hurt quite a bit, but I didn’t realize how hard I hit until the next day when I found a huge bruise while I was in the shower.
I am normally better at getting myself down, but it had been so long since my last episode that I really didn’t think it was going to happen.
