Hah! I have a similar story, but involves my own arm that had completely gone numb from sleeping on it. Same little girl screaming, a lot of flailing, and even some running.
Of course I was about 5 or 6 years old
Anyway, good on you for making it. I gotta believe you are probably the most Campfire Gathering traveled member there is!
Good for you, and I hope to run into you (again) at a gathering sometime.
