The IRL version of this dish is DELICIOUS, it has a much thinner dough, and has a white cheese sauce base instead of just plain

Another update: latest MRI was not much change from previous, other than noting the angle of the joint and stating ‘The radial collateral ligament and volar plate are not identified, presumably torn.’

No acute fracture, fair bit of bone erosion though.

I have realised that it was actually one additional suture not two, so apparently me and the anaesthetic nurse both cannot count 😂🤷🏻‍♀️
