NEW: Louisiana woman suffers a catastrophic genital injury in Honduras, forced to spend $50,000 on an emergency air evacuation back to the U.S.
Kirsten Lindsey was injured during a daytime excursion on day three of a Carnival cruise.
When she tried to release herself from a rope swing, she fell on an apparent retrieval line that got stuck.
Lindsey and her boyfriend say the injury began to swell, and after trying to walk it off, she eventually needed a wheelchair.
According to her Go Fund Me, the pain became so bad that Lindsey could barely move and her breathing would stop when she started falling asleep.
As the pain worsened, it was recommended that she be evacuated to the United States, costing her about $50,000.
She has since had one surgery and is undergoing a second one.
