As expected, we did very little today. The first night after the accident was rough for me. I did not find a good position to lie without pain in the arm, even with the ibuprofen. Groggy and deflated, we got out of bed to go find breakfast. Turned out we got more than we hoped for. Both of us were actually defeated by our set breakfasts.

“scanning” the x-ray for the insurance

The sheer amount of food we had for breakfast plus our low energy levels meant that we would retreat and coil up in our room for the rest of the day. The pain was ok while immobilized, but I very soon started to get annoyed with the utter uselessness of my right arm. This set out to be a long and annoying recovery for me.

We did get one thing managed: I got in contact with our travel insurance and they promised to get their doctor to look over our documents and get in contact with us tomorrow for the next steps.

That night we went out to another place in town. Their local Lao food turned out to be really nice and pretty reasonably priced.

One day of recovery done … how many more to go?
