When the doctor put the cast on in Peru, he mentioned that the bone would heal in 40 days and then the cast could come off. Today, we visited a clinic to make an appointment for Monday to get the cast off. After a bit of running around, we were told (in Spanish) that Dom does not have the right kind of cast for the type of fracture he has. They recommended that he should see the traumatologist (who, of course, was not there...). Fortunately, we managed find the private clinic where the traumatologist was located, and paid him for a visit (~ $33usd). He mentioned that with this type of fracture, the cast should stay on for an extra 20 days :( and that keeping the current cast was better than changing it to the other type (which would have immobilized his pinky finger better). Seeking medical help when you only know a bit of the language is hard, we can't even begin to imagine what it would be like if we did not speak any Spanish! Anyway, tomorrow we are off to Torotoro national park to explore some caves and see some dinosaur footprints!! :)
