TSH and Diva decided not to go ashore in Visby because of the driving rain and high winds. Especially since the Captain had advised people going ashore to walk carefully down the middle of the pier as otherwise they risked being swept off their feet.
Instead they went for a walk around the promenade
deck. When they decided to go back inside, the heavy door was caught by the
wind, collided with Diva and swept her off her feet. She banged her head and
shoulders.
The result was attendance by the Guest Services
Manager, followed by a nurse with a wheelchair. The rest did not go well. The
emphasis was on Diva signing forms which she was not expected to read. She read
them, did not sign them and as a result (she thinks), no doctor was called. Her
blood pressure was taken and found to be high even by her standards. She
eventually returned to her cabin and is so far ok but concerned about possible
consequences of the blow to her head.
