Broken hand update

Today I returned to the hospital to see the consultant. He looked at the x-ray and decided it would be better if the bones were better aligned, so off came the old plaster. I’m not good with pain and had to warn him that I might faint as he applied some pressure to the anaesthetised area. I’m sure I didn’t faint, but was close. Another cast and another x-ray to ensure things were in the right place this time, and I’m to return in four weeks.
Thanks to D who gave me a lift over to the hospital this morning. Yesterday’s plasterer definitely left me with a better finished cast, today’s is much rougher round the edges, maybe I’m just more sensitive after the anaesthetic…
