Elbow Review

Zyan has been on the half-cast for a week.

Every now and then, somehow always in the night time, he would come to me and ask me if able to remove the cast.

Why? Because it is itchy.

Of course the answer is no.

Actually, I think it was Tuesday, I said I would remove the bandage and let his elbow air a little bit before putting the cast back for him, and he can scratch it also.

And then, the gey-kiang boy said no need. So fine.

Wednesday asked him again, he said no need also.

Only on Wednesday / Thursday / Friday night keep asking me to remove to scratch. So late of course no.

I guess the medicine to curb the itch also help a bit.

Else he would be like an “elbow-Sun Wokong”.

Anyway, today is the day for review.

Wake up early morning, went to 9am appointment to change his half-cast to a splint. The doctor recommended that as the splint is easier to handle, and it is a lot easier to remove during bath time.

Ultimately, it is not to be removed. Still has to be used 24-hrs except during bath time.

The process didn’t take a long time, maybe 30-45 minutes or so. It is custom-made.

It sure looks a lot easier to handle.

Taken at library in the afternoon

After the cast is made, went to get the X-ray done, and then let the doctor review.

Doctor is quite pleased with the x-ray taken, although the fracture is there (obviously can’t disappear so fast right), the elbow does look positive to healing.

It will take time. Probably 4-8 weeks not to have more physical things related to the elbow, would be ideal.

So his gymnastic has to stop. Even violin has to stop for time being. Swimming also. So many things right?

Next review by right would be 3 weeks later. Doctor not around, so push to 4 weeks later.

By then should be able to remove the splint totally.

Good work!

Bubur Cha Cha

Yesterday morning, a whatsapp message came in.

One of my 四大美女 friends said she would be making bubur cha cha, and would bring to the rest of us.

My四大美女 friends (SF / WL / SC / SL) were from my Secondary School days. 

It was just 5 years ago that we graduated. Hahaha.

The timing was changed from before 12noon to after 12noon to around 2pm. It was ok for me, until Karinna said she had some massage around 1pm.

So I told SL I cannot receive the dessert in person, and may have to pass to the people at my home.

I was out with Zyan, we were at Udders after alighting Karinna for her massage.

We had ice cream on waffles. Greedy father and son. It was not long after lunch.

Must be belly belly ho jiak!

With the whatsapp avalanche, the Uber-like-treat delivery was made to my home. J

Zyan was just reading his story books at Udders, and met 2 friends whom he played a little with.

Time passed quite fast, and nearly forgot to go and pick Karinna. :P

Didn’t go anywhere after picking her. Went straight back home.

First thing home, my helper said the bubur cha cha is here. Also, got some pizza and bread from Karinna’s friend.

Wah. Whole day can eat free things. Not bad. :P

Karinna likes bubur cha cha, so poured out 1 for her.

I personally don’t really eat that, although I don’t resist it.

I took a few scoop. Not bad. 爱心甜点。赞啦！

Belly good!

You want some?

Eventful Cycle

Yesterday, brought Zyan to east coast park to cycle.
Rented a bike for him and myself. Karinna wanted to use the scooter, which we brought over.

So enthusiastically, Zyan rode off fast towards direction of Marina.
I had to catch up with him to watch over him. As for Karinna, she was left all by herself as it is slow for her to pace up the speed.

As we moved, we reached the road safety training area for children. Zyan likes to cycle around this place.
It was just a short distance ride from where we rented the bikes.
So happily circling a few rounds within the compound.

I kept looking out to see if Karinna managed to come to this place. Couldn't see her.
Had wanted to call her, but Zyan told me her phone is with him.
He took the haversack from her, which her phone was place inside there.

Thus, we lost contact with her. LOL.

I told Zyan, it is better to link up back with mommy. Then we decided to backtrack our route, and look out for her to at least pass her the phone.

I had to watch Zyan, as well as looking around for the gorgeous woman.
Couldn't find her. Probably not that glam yesterday. Hahaha

Even we when reached back the bike rental shop, no sign of Karinna nearby as well.
Then I thought and told Zyan: Maybe mommy got tired and resting at the McDonald area?
Let's go find her!

We rode off again in search of the missing mommy.
Zyan reached there first. I was walking towards him at McDonald, maybe about 30 metres away.
I saw him standing near his bike. A group of people were blocking my view to see full clearly. As my view cleared further, I saw Zyan on the floor crying in pain with the bike over him.

Some people sitting nearby him quickly helped him. I moved up as well to check on him.
He was in pain, not wailing hard, but crying in pain to himself.
I think it must be very painful for him.
I could see him a bit like 脸青唇白.
Event number 2.

I needed to place him seated. He couldn't stand firmly due to pain.
And the bikes have to be returned. 15 minutes more of usage!

I was stuck. Had to return the bikes. Couldn't find the mommy.
If I cannot find mommy, I have to leave Zyan alone to return the bikes.
I made the decision to pass him Karinna's phone, for me to contact him.
Bought him a milo dinasaur to keep him occupied while I had to push 2 bikes slowly to the shop.
Hopefully can find the missing person at the shop at the stipulated time to return the bikes.

So that was the plan.
Managed to push the 2 bikes safely to the place.
Looked around, missing person is still missing.
Waited from 6.00pm to 6.10pm (time to return is 6.05pm) but still see no sign of missing person.

Called Zyan.
Jialat! Never pick up call. Called again. Same. Again. Same.
Jialat!
One more time, the weakly voice answered.
Then I think cannot wait for missing person, have to go pick my son back first.

Off I went.
The parking place there is full. Another challenge. After I managed to drive into the carpark, I had to park illegally. No choice.
Quickly moved to look for Zyan. Well, at least he is still there at the table, resting his head down on the table. Must be too painful for him until he cried internally until he got tired.
Wah. What type of English statement is this. Anyway.

I could see he looks a bit better. The pain is a bit more manageable. Still pain though.
So I told let's look for the missing mommy again.
To exit the carpark is a challenge. Took like minutes just to get out.
Managed to go back to the bike rental place.
Still no sign of missing person.

I received a call from Sock Ling, my friend from Secondary School days. I knew it must be related to missing person.
Sure enough, they happened to meet in the vast land of East Coast.
Finally, the missing person is found.
Went to pick her, and off we went home.
Thank you Sock Ling!

After dinner, we decided to bring him to check on his injured elbow.

Clinic can't help much. In the end, went to Parkway East.
X-ray was taken. Generally still ok, but there one part where the doctor seems a bit unhappy with the bone structure. He suggested to get the orthopedic to check, but it can cost about $500!
Wah. 杀人放火。
A bit extreme statement, but very expensive.
Good thing is, he still still able to move this hand and elbow, just pain. So more likely the tissues acting up and some lines of crack.

Mommy bought some Delifrance to share.

Seems like he is happy with his new sling

So we decided to followup maybe on Monday.
But he will have to be put on half-cast.

A cycling short trip that was extended to an eventful day.
And the damage for the day is, 心痛的感觉， 它它侵蝕了我。

Monday. That's tomorrow. :P
