Broken nose photo

Well, Lisa wanted a photo taken for posterity reasons, so I guess she wouldn’t mind posting this photo which was taken last night. The cast came off this morning so you won’t be seeing her with it today. We had a bit of a scare last night when she had taken the cast off before going to the shopping centre. When we returned to the car we couldn’t find the cast and her followup appointment was early next morning! We had already got in trouble with the doctor while in the hospital for accidentally removing the gauze in her nose (and not telling the nurses until the next day!) and we thought “oh, no”, he is going to think that she is even worse a patient. Fortunately we found it and it wasn’t broken. Lisa feels a bit wary around the children right now. The Dr has stressed that her nose can be easily broken if hit again and to take care the children don’t hit her nose. In the last couple of days the children have accidentally hit or bumped into her nose twice!

We were a little hesitant about going into the public hospital here in Lampang (we normally go to the private hospital) but generally it has been a good experience and Lisa’s nose looks normal so she’s happy. I don’t think we’ll be forgotten to quickly as they rarely have foreigners as patients.
