Srourn's long road

Srourn - such a lovely guy

Susie and I went across town yesterday to visit our lovely friend Srourn. He is the man who has a bad bone infection in his leg. He had been put into a Khmer hospital with a view to amputating his leg - but happily his leg is still with him. The doctors have carved a big hole in his buttock where he also has bad infections. Susie had a peek and her face was enough to persuade me not to even think about it.

The hospital room was maybe 10 metres square. It had 18 beds in it - quite a squeeze but manageable. Overall it was pretty clean. Srourn is in good heart but he must be bored out of his brain. His daughter Sinart is with him too. We'll keep in contact and expect him back at the Healing Home in the future.
