Why grown men shouldn't try skateboarding

Easter Sunday, David was showing a neighbor how James' ripstick (2-wheel flexible skateboard) works when he took a spill while taking a turn and landed on his left wrist. Over the three days, his sore wrist has swelled and changed colors 3 times.
Today David went to the Klinik and came home with a temporary cast. He had broken a bone in his wrist, but the doctors want to see what happens over the next week, so he doesn't have a hard cast. There is the chance he may need to have surgery to insert screws into his wrist to realign the pieces of bone.

Our plan for the rest of this week was to continue our tour of European canal cities by visiting Bruges, Belgium and Amsterdam. We decided to simplify and visit just one more city. As I had already visited both, I left the decision up to David. He chose Bruges, a 5-hour drive away. We have a few days to relax and plan our 2 days in Bruges, the little Venice of the North.
