Happy 13th Birthday, Michaella!!
It was Michaella’s 13th birthday on the 9th and we discovered a roller skating rink on the top floor of a shopping mall in Phnom Penh, so off we went. As you can see it didn’t go well and, yes, she broke her arm. After a tuk-tuk ride to an English speaking clinic, then off somewhere else for an x-ray and back again to see the specialist, a cast was put on and we were off. It was actually all very quick, no waiting and all up took about 2 hours. It’s not a bad break and should be right in 3-4 weeks.
We’re now in Thailand and she has a new fibreglass cast which is much lighter and we’ve been experimenting with various waterproof covers so she can swim. It has got wet and we might have to get a new one in a week or so because it’s supposed to get stinky once wet, but we’ll see.
Check out the before and after photos. The one with the sling on, was in the tuk-tuk on the way to get an x-ray.
