My husband and I were on the MSC Cruise with the last stop in Nassau, Bahamas. After disembarking we found a local tour operator to take us parasailing and snorkelling to a reef about 10 minutes away from Paradise Island. I was attacked by a shark while snorkelling that resulted in the loss of my right arm up to my elbow.
There was no medical kit on the boat, so we used a beach towel as a tourniquet for my amputated arm. There was also no radio on the boat, so when we arrived at Paradise Island, we had to flag down people and get their attention for what seemed like several minutes before they understood how severe the incident was and then told us that we had to go to the main port.
Nobody from Paradise Island let anyone know on the main port that we were coming, so when we arrived, we had to go through the same process of flagging people down and getting them to realize that we needed an ambulance.
We were on that boat from the reef to the stop at Paradise Island to the main port for about 30 minutes with no tourniquet and only a beach towel to stop the bleeding. Medically, it does not make sense why I am still alive – it is only by the grace of God!
