Extreme sports 101


 

Forget bungy jumping, wind surfing and base diving, I have unwittingly participated in a new, more dangerous extreme sport – canasta for those with short arms!!

 Don’t laugh until I explain – a couple of days ago, while playing cards, I leaned over the metal arm of a chair to pick up a dropped card and felt a sharp pain in my chest.

Since the pain didn’t subside and it was really disturbing my sleep,  a quick visit to the on-board medical centre and the diagnosis – a broken rib – although I think that I will have to invent a new more dramatic story to explain the injury – playing cards just doesn’t seem to cut it!!
