friday night

friday night, fund raising dinner in school. GOH was Mr President. those on duty of course are very high strung. for me, could afford to relax. food was so so, think the president's table food will be good, but it's like u pay about $8000 to sit with the President at the same table.

then nearing the end of the dinner, received a call from hubby. Mabel was crying in the background, she dislocated her left elbow again!! yah, again, cos this is the 2nd time. so i very kan cheong, quickly left the dinner.

anyway, brought Mabel to KK children's emergency. she had to take an x ray. she was like refused to let me bring her arms up on the table. got to slowly coaxed her into it.

then when it was the turn to see the doc, her dislocated arm actually not dislocated anymore. asked the doc why like that. doctor gave a very good explanation. u need to have a hard pull in order to have the bone out of the 'ring' and dislocated. since Mabel did not fall down or anybody was pulling her hand, hence, while she was searching for her toys, she might have overstrecteh it and the bone could be on its way out, hence, she felt the pain. and when i lifted her arms for the x ray, the bone might have fall back into place.

Mabel juz has to be very careful with her use of left hand next time. anyway, doc said that children will grow out of this as they grow older becos bones will get harder. luckily she do not need to put cast otherwise, she would be like her grandmother, my mother like that.
