valentine's day cast

so nisarga was so excited. sooooo soooooooo excited that it was time to take off his cast. mind you he had been looking at this dam beach for way too many days and was generally all around frustrated with having only one useable leg. according to the second set of doctors, the fancy ones in Udaipur, he could have his cast off around now. nothing like faith i tell you! he made an appointment for valentines day to remove his cast, after another round of xrays of course, and proceeded to stand IN the ocean with both feet. he reasoned that he didnt care, the cast was suppose to be waterproof, and he was to have it removed the next day. waterproof as in if it rains or something spills on it, not if you have the ocean coming over you. anyway, he went to bed that night, friday the 13th, with one leg in a soaked cast and a wide smile on his face.

the next day we turn up at the hospital and... the xrays show that the bone hasn't healed. it needs another 2 weeks minimum and he needs to lay with his leg elevated as much as possilbe. he is obviously pissed. poor nission!!! he starts to negotiate with the doctor for less time. ahhhhh, my little white indian! he decides he'll cut it off himself if the doctor doesnt cut it off. he's fet up. hello?!?!?! that is your ankle right? as in what supports the walking process. anyway. ok. so what to do? we have to leave with our tales between our legs.

oh wait! but the current cast is soaked. i insist that they change it. there was no way that it could be healthy for him to wear that for another 2 weeks. nisarga resists because he knows that it's painful when there's a change of cast. well, you wanted to jump in the ocean, now you gotta pay the price buddy. so the doctor agrees, after we explain what actually happened, and laughs. in honor of valentine's day... he applies a bright pink cast! ha!!!

so happy valentine's everyone!!!
