Having his left arm on a cast.

Korkor had a fall last Saturday evening at a cool playground with modern designs.

The spanking new mall at Setia Alam boasts a huge field right beside it with few or no tall buildings blocking its view, giving the area a very nice, cool and windy hangout place, perfect for flying kites.

The playground amenities are all new and designed with toddlers and bigger children age group in mind so everyone has a fair share of enjoyment, including us.It even has a public restroom just right there, convenient for the children to make their dash to the loo as, we all know, kids hold their pee up until the very last second when they are having loads of fun.

Anyway, this post is about korkor, so back to him.

It was all good in the beginning, when it was almost, just right almost, time to gather everyone up for dinner somewhere else, he had a slip and fell from the climbing bars, I don't know how high as I didn't see him fall. I was attending to didi when I heard his cries of mommy... mommy....

I saw him lying down on the bench and thought how bad could his pain be, when the papa is just seated right next to him, acting as if nothing happened?

So I just slowly make my way to him and asked what was wrong. He cried like a baby (which really reminded me when he was just a baby!) and said he was really in soooo much pain. He said his arm was broken and need to go for an x-ray and be hospitalized. Wow! For a slight second, I was taken aback and kind of felt tickled with his exaggeration.

But a few moments later, I realized it might just be rather bad. Yeah, I was worried a bit, but of course, I told myself inside, nothing geh... everything will be ok. After all, how high can it be? And the floor is padded as well.

Anyway, fast forwarding a bit....

He saw a GP in a nearby clinic who couldn't diagnose the problem until an x-ray was done and it can only be done in a hospital or a medical center which either one is nowhere to be seen.

So, we let him rest for a night, went for outpatient treatment at a hospital the next morning and took the x-ray.

From the x-ray, the doc told us that his elbow bones has a hairline crack and that might possibly be the cause of the pain. He advised us to see an orthopaedic to advise on the next course of action, which he thinks most likely is to have his arm on a cast.

We went back to the specialist on the Monday afternoon, taking him off earlier from school.. Temporarily left-handed paralysed, he needs help when carrying his big luggage of a schoolbag to school every morning, when taking his shower and on the brighter note, he is relieved from piano practices and dishwashing duties! Didi feels ever so envious!

His only complaint would be the itch which is even made worse when he can't reach that itchy spot! Well, I can't perform magic even when he keeps crying me for help there.

Hopefully, the cast would be taken off sooner than 3 weeks as anticipated. I hope he learns something from this experience! I also realized when they are in pain, they would be crying for mommy first! As if mommy can work miracles!
