Paika No More!

Nana broke her ankle in mid April 23. She was in a hard cast for a month and during her last appointment in mid May 23, the doctor ordered another 2 months in an aircast. Weaircasted and wheelchaired to BKK and back. Survived!

Nana had her appointment this morning. We suspected that she is very much alright bcos she had been happily walking around at home without the aircast. There was no complaint of pain too. 

It was the usual drill. I have done this like 4 times, split over the 2 kids with broken bone. Nana had to do most of the registration and moving around independently as I went into a call. We managed well. 

The sports center and the X-ray centre were both very empty and we didnt have to wait long. Even the wait for the doctor consultation was very fast. 

The conclusion? The doctor has given the all clear! There was still a faint line on the Xray, which I couldn't really see. The doctor said that it is normal and it would heal with time. Since there is no pain, she gave the go ahead to start walking without cast but to be further excused for exercise for another 3 months. I had asked if physiotherapy is needed and no, bcos she was already in cast for 3 months. Ok, I am just happy that we don't have to come back again. 



Bcos everything was done so much faster (than the last visit), we had time for lunch before Nana took her last "mummy sponsored and without the need to ask" Tada home. She will so miss the many taxi rides. Hoho.

We have to make arrangements to return the crutches and the wheelchair. She can actually return to her room (and bed) and I can have my bed back. Hohoho. We were also eyeing a Bali holiday in September  pending the status of her ankle, and can now buy air tickets. Hohoho. So happy!
