It has been slightly over a week (8 days to be exact) since the operation was done to fix SQ888's right landing gear (aka my right ankle). Thanks to all of you for expressing so much concern and here is an update about this piece of "equipment". I am currently off painkillers, which should be very good news, and the op area is no longer bleeding (it was until Monday). In case you are wondering, I am going back to TTSH for a check on it on 5th Sep, and the stitches should be removed at that time. After that, I am not sure if I will continue to be grounded or be moving around on crutches or perhaps learning how to put partial weight on that injured ankle. They expect it to take a month before I can start putting any weight on it, but if there is sufficient bone growth, I guess they would bring the date forward. So let's hope I have good news to share on the 5th.
Ok, keep the convos alive people, and happy mugging!

PS. If you are wondering why I sometimes (or rather frequently) use SQ888 to replace my name, that's my callsign/flight number when I fly for Singapore Virtual Airlines.
