A crippled holiday

Imagine that you are having a great time and that, all of a sudden, something twisted happens...

Here are five tips on how to cope with a strained ankle during a beach holiday - I sincerely hope that you do not have to remember any of them!

1 - Avoid stairs like the plague. If you absolutely cannot avoid them, remember that good people go to heaven and that bad people go to hell; this means that the foot, which is killing you, needs to be the first one to use when going down and the last one to use when going up.

2 - Replace flip-flops by sports shoes. If you cannot replace flip-flops by sports shoes, avoid inclinations. If you cannot avoid inclinations, go to a bar at the end of the day and drink as much alcohol as you possibly can - this should help you to forget about the pain.

3 - If you have diarrhea, remember that you cannot run so pay attention to your body's signals - especially if you are wearing a swimsuit and not a bikini.

4 - Remember that this kind of handicap is a great excuse to start conversations so use it.

5 - Be thankful to the friends, who will do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable - Ene, Kairit, I wouldn't have made it without you!
