went to the doc today for check up. they have puppy removed and replaced with puppy IV. =( and its sure an ugly one too.. princess calls it snake and pixie calls it chicken wing.. =(

did not realise how bad the fracture till today. even that moment i realised the little knob was on the wrong side, i still feel that it was not that bad - its just a fracture not broken, it will get better soon.

the first few days when they put puppy on me, my hand swell so big that i felt puppy was going to burst. both pain and swell pain went away after a few days. just that, there was this little bump of worry. though most people said that the bump might be just part of puppy, however i was not convinced and did a little investigation on my own. as the swell went away, my hand became thinner due to lack of movement so puppy grew a little big for me. was sure that if i were to thug puppy a little harder it would have came off and i would be able to see the bump. however, i was paranoid that my hand might come off like daniel wu's hand in shinjuku, i decided to stick my finger into puppy but the bump was too deep for my fingers. yes, i am that curious about that bump.

today, when the plaster technician, j, removed puppy, i was so scared of what i saw. my hand got so much thinner and looking so fragile. was still droupy and it still hurts like day one. IT DID NOT GET ANY BETTER!!

dr ej told me that they would try to put a new cast, from palm to above elbow, and i would have to go take xray to see if the cast could hold and join the bones back. puppy II failed miserably and have to be put away. puppy III was still 5d off. at that point, dr ej said that i could either:

1. re-cast
2. give up - might not have perfect mobility of wrist in future.
   
3. operation - the most perfect solution.
   

i should have guessed that shortest answer might not be as simple as it sounds. i was given a shot first before they thug and pull to shape the bones back. the shot did not work as well as planned and i almost died. i screamed and cried at each thug and after they finally finished, it felt like my hand had been mauled. and puppy IV bore the war scars - finger prints of dr ej on the the wrist, j on the fore arm and nurse above the elbow.

going back on monday again. and if puppy IV does not work also, i guess it would be operation then. =( this whole thing is just like a child's play which turned into a nightmare.

anyway, here is the only one thing that had made me laugh since the visit to the hospital:

puppy IV going for first swim with
a chicken drumstick and for sausages.

mr goldfish had made me a plastic to keep puppy IV dry when i shower. was trying on to see if it fits and i started to laugh at what i saw and made him take an image of it. i kind of reminds me of a prawning and also of some body parts found at crime scene.
