Cruise Report 1
I woke up Friday morning with a bit of pain and stiffness in my right ankle, and basically ignored it. It's done it before and went away, so I figured it would this time, too. But it was still stiff on Saturday when we got into Galveston, and as the week progressed, the stiffness went away (at least, I think it did) and was replaced by swelling - in both feet.
So my walking shoes got no use at all this cruise. I spent more time than planned sitting on my balcony with my heels hooked on the rail. And because my right foot was more prone to swelling than my left, I ended up with a one-shin sunburn, which looks just a bit odd.
I really didn't let the feet stop me, but they slowed me down a little. I missed one dining room dinner, opting instead for room service (but room service has potato chips, which nowhere else on board has!) and the opportunity to lay around with ice bags on my ankles (or "cankles" in my brother-in-law's terminology - short for calf-ankles, and yes, they really had pretty much merged together. They looked disgusting).
The plane flight home wasn't tremendously helpful either. At least I don't have interesting foreign ports beckoning to me anymore, and can choose to sit at my desk with my feet up without exposing them to the Caribbean sun.
