Participants:
Kathi,Suzi,Tundup,
Chuskit and one nun from REWA society, Tsering
Dolma
We
started from Leh on 10th July,2008 to Chumathang,which is 180km
from Leh in the district of Nyoma.
We
have 10 patients in Nyoma block and from them 4 patients are under
Chumathang where physios are allowed to visit, but at Nyoma they
are not allowed where rest of the patients are. It is because that
place is restricted. Local people can visit there so me,Tundup and
the nun went there and checked all the patients.
One
of our patient needs wheel chair because she has C.P. and we will
get her one.
There
is another patient who needs crutches and we will send it tomorrow.
We
have one new patient at Chumathang who is a monk. We couldn’t
diagnose him earlier so we told him to come to Leh and he came to
Leh after 4 days. We took him to the doctor for the X-ray and he
subscribed him some medicine and advised us to do his C.T scan.
So we are taking him for C.T scan on this coming Saturday. He has
got problems in his hips and also has problem in walking. His problem
is similar to Lobzang(zanskar), problaby a condition after tuberculosis
of the bone with partial destruction of hip bone. We will see what
we can do for him concerning aids for walking, shoes etc.
Will
inform you more about this monk in future.Take Care.
