Poor Mummy....

My poor mum tripped & fell this morning & dislocated her elbow. She was sent to hospital by an ambulance & got her X-Ray done. At first, the Dr can't see any fracture & as such put her on anaesthetic to relocate the elbow bones back in place.

She finished her op after lunch just now & did an X-Ray again after she woke up from the anaesthetic sleep. It was then tht the fracture was revealed... Errr.... actually not really a fracture. More like a piece of bone "chipped" off!

Fortunately the Dr say it should be ok to remove the chipped piece of bone without much harm to the future use of the elbow. However, you'll never know with Drs this days....

She's scheduled to be operated tomorrow to either piece back the bone / if tht's not possible, to remove the bone.

Hope she gets well soon from this ordeal without much side effects on her elbow....
