Not a happy thumb

That slashed thumb of Sue's has healed OK - but it just is not what it used to be. Swollen, sore and more like a block of wood than a restored joint - so after nearly seven weeks since she tangled with that can lid we trotted off for another opinion.

Back in Toowoomba we got to meet Mary Kluck, a great doctor who spends about nine months in the year working here in Phnom Penh. We emailed her and yes, she is in Phnom Penh at this time and invited Sue to come on over and get poked and prodded. Her verdict is that a nerve has been cut and that Susie will need micro-surgery to get things back to normal - something that cannot happen in Cambodia.

Spot the sore one ...

God is good all the time and there will be an answer to this. We are in contact with our medical insurance friends who, at this stage, can neither confirm nor deny what our policy is good for - until we get more info across to them. Mary says that something needs to happen 'within weeks rather than in months' - so it is not urgent as such. Loretta in NZ is contacting a specialist friend and we are in contact with this amazing caring Creator ....
