Evidently, everything is progressing well and I was expected to return for a further check-up and x-ray in a month. However, as we are going north that week to see my son appearing in the building where I first set eyes on his mother, I was instructed to come back in three weeks and sent on my way with a shiny new plaster-cast (above - right).
