Half Moon Cay - December 23

 Half Moon Cay is Holland America's Private Island in the Bahamas.  I was here in 2015.  I did not go ashore today - here is why.

Last night was horrible.  I started out sitting up on the sofa but could not get comfortable so I got in bed.  I almost could not get out of it again.  Rolling on my side and putting my legs down was excruciating.  For a time, I thought I might have to call for help.  Once I managed on my own, I then decided to put my pillows up against the wall at the end of the sofa and my legs on the sofa.  Much better and I could get off the couch more easily.  Looks like I will be sleeping there for the foreseeable future.  

This night was another of my really low points.  I seem to be able to do less each day.  I may try the doctor on this ship tomorrow.

Although I had a delicious meal in the Pinnacle Grill, I really don't have much of an appetite.  On a normal day, that would be a good thing but I have become uncaring about a lot of things.  My cabin is a mess and I did not unpack anything I didn't need today.  In the back of my mind is the thought I might have to cancel the world voyage.

The bright spot of the day was trivia.  We won both games!   Rich and Bob are very good.
