(106) phew...
We had just come home from the orthopaedic clinic. Ben's prognosis is pretty good... no major wrist fracture! The fracture is on one of the finger bones somewhere in the palm area.
We had been so afraid that he had a scaphoid fracture. This is a very common fracture among young men but it may take up to 4 months to heal. Ben also had a torn ligament. The x-rays showed that when the ligament tore, it also pulled off with it, a tiny piece of the finger bone. The doctor said Ben is still combat-fit and needs not be downgraded. However his hand will have to be immobilsed for some time to facilitate the healing process.
The doctor took off Ben's splint but this was replaced with a plaster cast. Ben will have to bear with it until his next medical appointment in 3 weeks' time. By then, he would have gotten his posting...
Heck! Jon's helping out at the children's camp in church and Ben has to book-in tonight. Who's going to help Ben fold up the sleeves of his No 4?
