A friend of mine found it strange that I had torn bands on both sides of my ankle, so I started to think back. At first, I couldn’t remember. It was months later when I made all the arrangements with my insurance company. Memories came back when I looked back at my pictures.
On Friday, February 21st, we traveled to Berlin by train. Our appointment at the school there was in the afternoon. Because we missed a transfer, we were late and unable to put our luggage in our apartment. During that train journey, I bumped my head at a train table when I got up. It was pretty hard because I felt dizzy. I ignored it, and nothing seemed wrong.
On Monday, February 24th, I had my next appointment in Prague. First, we went to the Jewish district and the Karlsbridge and walked through Prague to meet a colleague in education. After that meeting, we went into some shops. That was where I felt dizzy again. My head was feeling like there were some firework lights inside. I had to get out of the shop immediately. I felt terrible. After some time outside on a bench, I felt better. The dizziness and nauseous disappeared. That evening we went out for dinner, and I forgot all about this strange accident.
On Tuesday, February 25th, we were ready to train to Vienna to meet an Austrian principal. Outside the building, I lost the feeling in my right leg. I tried to reach the doorframe, but I had already closed the door. I made a bizarre turn, falling on the sidewalk. Maybe that was why the woman who helped me wanted to call an ambulance. It must have been an extraordinary fall.
Remembering all this made me wonder what was wrong with me. So I called my doctors. They told me not to worry because the cause couldn’t be solved this long after the accident.
