updates on my finger..
should not be home at this moment in time but since i am..decided to update my blog for a while..well..the fact tat i am at home and not in camp at this point of time kinda gives it away..yes i am on mc again...another week of mc..second time tat the hospital has given me an mc of one week..went for my checkup today...took another x-ray before seeing the doctor..
so as u can see from the pictures above..those are my self drawn x-rays..not too bad a drawing i must say...took me sometime to find out how many bones were there in my finger...haha..ok..as u can see..two weeks ago..there was a crack on my finger..right in the center bone..was put on a splint to prevent it from moving..last week went to see the doc again for my medical appt and was told tat i could remove the splint and let it recover..then given another appt which was today..went in the morning..took x-ray and as u can see..the top portion of the crack shifted just slight to the right there..showing tat theres some movement lar.. it looks and sounds painful but to be honest i dun feel much pain..just tat my finger is a bit stiff..ok..the main point is if it shifts further right when i return next week..i may have to undergo surgery to like straighten it lar..so right now i have been given a better plastic splint..better looking than the last one..and definitely stronger lar..
dun plan to fully utilize the mc tat i have right now..no pt also..cause now doing clearance for ORD in camp..not much physical activity also..further more if i go back after one week..i may not time to finish my clearance so dun realli wanna take tat chance..also i haven been talking to my platoon this time round cause i have been away on duties and mc cause of my finger..so goin back earli to settle all the stuff i need to settle ain't so bad lar..yup..so decided to go back tml night..wanna realli get some rest after my duty yesterday...realli tiring...k then...please pray for me..hope my fracture does not shift anymore lar..
