A Slight Twist

Waiting at the Emergency Room

As mentioned, we decided to head to Kajang after lunch to visit my Mum. While we were there, Mum slipped on the wet floor and took a fall. Anita was beside her and in her attempt to protect my Mum’s head as she was falling, Anita lost her balance as well.

Straight away she said there was pain on her shoulder and when I examine her, clearly something was not right. I managed to immobilised her arm and put it into a sling. Next step was to take her to the hospital.

My brother-in-law came shortly after and we took her across to the hospital he works at. X-ray revealed a fracture on the collarbone but no dislocation.

We are arranging for Orthopaedic consult and it looked unlikely that she needed surgery. She would need rest and painkiller. The main thing is, it looked like she's going to be fine. As for Anita, her hip was sore from the impact but she is also fine.
