Bah! - part 2

I went for a check-up of my foot today. The doctor did the x-rays again and confirmed that nothing is broken. But the ligaments on my left foot are sprained and hurting a lot when I try to use them.

I am booked for another visit at the doctor's in a week. They reused the half-cast on my foot, after taking it off to take x-rays. The half-cast is not giving me much support now, though.

I also received my bill for medical services. It was for 870kn, which is about $200. Not bad for 8 x-rays, two visits to a doctor, and a half-cast.

Thanks to connections, I was able to get crutches. Otherwise, I would have had to buy them. They don't rent them here.

I have been spending my days laying down in bed with my foot elevated (because it hurts really bad otherwise). In the last couple of days I booked a flight to Hong Kong, flight to Beijing, and hotels for the two cities. That's a lot of research and emailing/booking, but someone's got to do it. :-)
