Coral infection of the sole of my foot.
I took some lessons on a long board and after quite a while I could even stand up --- sort of. ( I bounded forward like a gazelle and then would tumble off). Then I must have stepped on some coral on the way to the beach but thought nothing of it.
The sole of my right foot became very hard by the time I got back to England. It wasnt painful but I was referred to the Royal Hospital where I was treated for two days. The sole was like a flat piece of wood and it was explained that I had growing coral beneath the surface of my skin.
This was treated with anti-biotic cream and responded well.
On a fun note ? One of the doctors told me that she was going to report me to the Customs and Excise for trying to smuggle parts of Hawaii back to England.
She said, "Don't try to object 'cause you won't have a leg to stand on."
