I hurt my hand. At first I was pretty sure it wasn't broken, but as the day worn on, I thought I should probably do something. So, against my better judgment, I got a local friend to help me get an x-ray. Luckily, it was after hours, so even though the staff was still rude and gruff, I didn't have to wait in line.
Turns out, I fractured a bone in my right hand. Thankfully, it's not severe, so I didn't need them to work any magic. They just gave me this cast.
Keep in mind, this is a fracture...
As you can see, we're dealing with top notch medical facilities here...
I'm supposed to wear this for one week, but I'm pretty sure it won't last that long. Then I need another x-ray. And then, maybe three or four more weeks in the cast. Luckily, I have an American friend here who studied athletic training, so she will be able to help me recover despite the doctor's lack of skill.
This could be a very frustrating situation, but I've been able to laugh with friends about this whole "incident".
