• Tour Day 5 - Post Surgery

    5. februar, Chile ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    Well, it's done. A great feeling to have the gaping gash closed up. They said it was a complicated wound, so the handiwork will be interesting to see later on. Not quite sure what's up with the elbow. Initially the X-ray tech said no fractures or debris, but when the ER doctor cleaned it last night and felt around, he felt debris and an elbow fracture. Today they did a scan to see more, and after surgery told me it wasn't a fracture but a scrape -- whatever that is. They also pulled out bits of clothing and debris. In any case, they casted the elbow as they would for a fracture. I have a hard cast from mid upper arm to wrist -- so I can barely touch my face with my right hand. Between that and my left arm & hand bundled up, it's cumbersome at best. I am unable to plan whether I can rejoin the tour until I know when I will be discharged. If not tomorrow, then I will be out of luck given the logistics of the group.🥴 It would be a long shot anyway, as I am quite limited with my c current bandages etc. and also will need some follow-up care. Therefore, I may sort out how to get home early.Læs mere
