Stop press – broken wrist

Yesterday on the walk home Helen unfortunately caught her sandal in a sharp bit of piping and fell hard onto her left wrist, causing a fracture. I sat her down in the roadside and reduced the deformity with Christa providing counter traction. No hospitals are open after 6 pm for the likes of fracture treatment, so we got a lift home and bandaged it up with the aid of a wooden spoon. This morning’s Xray showed a perfect position, so we got plaster applied by a paediatric surgeon (badly). We are so thankful that it was her left wrist, and also that Christa is here to support her for the next three weeks. Thank you God!
