i ruptured my achilles tendon 5 days before going to switzerland on a ski trip. the doc said i won't be skiing for quite some time. after surgery sitting around the house was geeting boring so i went to switzerland. doc said they have some of the finest hospitals if the need. to make a long story short. i had 3 different casts and it was the best thing i've done. on crutches was a pain but people were so helpful. been to bali several times, and i would go in an instant if i were with friends. sure you won't hike around and there is limited medical facilities. but if you;re in good health and like to relax, bali just may be the remedy. you'll be waited on hand and foot (excuse the pun)justr stay a a place with elevators. you could always return when you better and do all the active stuff then. i would not five up a trip to mope around thinking i could be in bali moping around.
