I finally got a cast on my leg, which I thought they should have done originally, but I guess they needed a orthopedic specialist to make the final judgement rather than the general doctor? The specialist actually said that I was borderline - that I might need surgery since the fracture's so big that there's actually some displacement. He also said that had I gone in immediately after I fell instead of waiting a week, they would have suggested surgery. So while it's probably going to take longer, there's hope that I don't have to get surgery done, which would be AWESOME.
Anyway, I go back to the hospital in two weeks and they'll take another x-ray then and tell me how it looks. So hopefully I'll just heal and there won't be any complications. I can't really afford (money and time-wise) to be sitting in a hospital having surgery. That's totally going to blow my plan of when I'm leaving Korea.
