Give me a break

At the weekend Maija sliped and fell down the stairs at a seminar. She broke her wrist and now she will need to go for an operation. Here are some photos of her getting patched up at Marian hospital we are staying at Terhi's mothers place at the moment and have not been able to get out to the flat in Espoonlahti. We have not heard again from the removals company in the UK so we are still not sure when the delivery of our furniture will take place.

I have to dress and undress Maija. Take off her undergarments and put on her nightdress. Help her to shower, wash her hair, squirt toothpaste on her toothbrush etc. Her wrist was shattered in a few places and the operation is needed to pin her bones together again. At the moment her fingers have swollen up to be twice as fat as her normal fingers. It looks nasty, though she herself seems to be coping well. Today I asked if NMKY had insurance to cover the hospitalisation and the fact that she will not be able to do anything for a couple of months. I don't suppose they have.
