What to Do for Leg Cramps

On an airplane 30,000 ft. in the air is not the best time to get a cramp in your inner thigh! Thankfully, it didn't happen to me, but it did attack my sister. I was an innocent onlooker. The pain struck and there arose such a clatter that people stared to see what was the matter. There she stood in the middle of the aisle with this pitiful look of panic in her eyes.

I am such the sorry sibling, because I was doubled over in laughter. That my sister was in pain was not funny, but the situation was hysterical. Amidst her pain, she was laughing hysterically, too. I think they call it poetic justice. At this point, I am trying my best to give her instructions on how to stretch and alleviate the pain, but she can't understand my giggled up gibberish. She wants me to demonstrate! No way am I going to join her in the middle of the aisle. I'm already about to slide under my floatation device, which might soon come in handy if I don't stop this hysterical laughter. How could I possibly explain that she will need to do a partial split while bending forward at the hip to stretch these hard to reach muscles? This would require turning sideways in the aisle. I don't know if the two gentlemen across the aisle would appreciate the bad moon on the rise. In flight show time anyone??? No head sets needed. Sister dearest is the leading lady in this traveling show.

In addition to the leg cramps, she developed side stitches and thought she was having a heart attack. And they say that I'M dramatic! This catapulted me into another fit of laughter. Poor dear! Pay back is not pretty!

Perhaps you are feeling sorry for her. Don't! I got little sleep on that trip. That's why the thought of pay back brings slight glee to my heart. This is a person who should be hired by Hollywood for any and all scream scenes. I have never heard such shrill and loud screams come out of a human as can come out of this lady.
