Free Fallin.

Last cruise I decided to take a tumble down the four stairs of our Stage and Screen set... Actually the ship made that decision for me. I swear this ship is out to get me! It was probably the rockiest its ever been and of course THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Usually I cope pretty well when its rocky, have a good laugh, no harm done. This night I was absolutely terrified every time I stepped out onto that stage. As we make our way through the second show, with relief every time we exit the stage, we get all the way to Disco which is the number right before the finale-- this is when I decide to take a tumble. As I go to run down the stairs the ship rocks forward and literally throws me down the stairs. I tumble down all four stairs, and land flat on my face. Luckily my partner, Michael, was there to save me. As he lead me off stage I collapsed into the wing where I remained the rest of the show. Almost made it through both shows safely... bad luck I guess. Good news is there were no broken bones :) bad news was that I was a helpless gimp on crutches for the next week and was also stuck onboard until I was healed. Good thing I have a cute Scottish lad who took care of me while I was gimped out. All is looking good and healing quite well. I shall be back in action for In Concert this cruise! Happy December :) xo
