The accident was not so little and required a flight out

So the call came from the Heath Centre that we needed to fly out to have Ian's wrist looked at.  All the travel was arranged and we hitched a ride to the airport with the local RCMP.  Great guy! You can see that we are quickly aclimatizing as Ian isn't even wearing his hat to go to the airport building from the car.  At the airport, it was great to know about 1/2 the people.  Pretty easy to get to know people in a 450 individual Hamlet.  Some of them were quite anxious.  We were asked if we were leaving.  Southern educators have literally left in the dark of night before.  Just packed up and left.  We reassured them.  The plane is in the next picture. The plane seats 22 people and was about 1/2 full due to COVID.  The flight to Rankin Inlet is only about 15 minutes.  Then we needed to go directly to the Health Centre there for the typical  hospital hurry up and wait scenerio.  

They did another x-ray and discovered that his wrist was actually broken in two directions and even though it was uncasted for almost a week they were able to put on a cast.  The cast needs to stay on for 6 weeks and can be removed in Whale Cove.  We are now staying at the INNS North.  We are stuck in Rankin Inlet until the next flight to Whale Cove which is on Sunday.  So lots of walking around.  This village is about 1500 people and after 3 months in Whale Cove it seems really LOUD.  Guelph will seem like a monster.  There are two galleries and we are planning to look at some Inuit Art and maybe ship it home.  It is so great to have all of this fully funded by the Government of Nunavut. We ate in a Road House restaurant and had DIET COKE.  Such a sad "first world" thing to miss.  So we have two and half days to kill.  Time to relax. Ian is enjoying his fancy fiberglass cast.  We don't have a sharpie with us, so no signatures for today.  It is nice to know that his wrist is immobilized and set to heal.  What an interesting experience.
