Operation
Kathleen saw an orthopaedic surgeon in Wangaratta this afternoon. Our GP had sent her the x-ray of Kathleen’s broken wrist after he discovered a second break in a follow-up scan.
The outcome is the specialist wants to operate tomorrow to manipulate Kathleen’s wrist back into proper shape. She’s concerned the bone won’t mend correctly and could leave Kathleen with a permanent problem.
We’re booked into the Wangaratta Private Hospital and have to be there by 7am Tuesday. The operation wil be about 9am and Kathleen should be able to come home at the end of the day.
It’s a good thing I cleared the decks of immediate work commitments on Sunday, anticipating a trip to Walwa tomorrow. I’ve been asked to help the Walwa Bush Nursing Centre with their fundraising campaign for a new building.
I’ll head there after Juliet arrives in Wangaratta with the twins around 11am. We’ll tag team in support for Kathleen. I want to be there when she wakes up from the operation.
It’s going to be a busy day, starting at 5.30am.
