Hobble Wobble

For all the heavy expenses incurred, the man was full of praise for San Antonio's paramedics and hospital staff who attended to him in the wee hours that morning. They were just as professional, efficient and precise as Singapore's top-notch medical services. The differentiating factor: San Antonio's service with a warm smile was etched into his memory.

My heart almost broke into a zillion pieces when I saw him shambling out to the luggage belt at Changi Airport. 

The daunting leg brace made the dislocated knee look so badly injured.When he  removed the brace, I winced at the naked leg that was dotted with pressure bruises and had swelled to twice the size of the right. The swelling went down a lot today. At least I could tell where the ankle ended and the calf muscles began. He'll probably have to limp a little. Going to pop by the orthopedic surgeon's for a review. Hopefully, it will heal in 2 months.
