quick checks
A variety of nurses came by and checked various bits & bobs making sure she was OK. She needed to stop in the ward for a while to make sure she was OK.
* Circulation was OK. Toes were nice & pink. A quick test was to press a toe to make it go white on the end and then ensure it goes pink again within a few seconds.
* Made sure she wasn't sick after the anaesthetic. She had something to drink & eat and wasn't sick, so that was good.
We had to wait for visits from the 'cast nurse' to check that over and 'O.T.' to go over general care.
