On June 6, when I posted about Break Time, I certainly DID NOT mean this kind of a break! Unfortunately, around 10 AM on Thursday I tripped and fell to the cement with the greatest weight impact on my LEFT hand/wrist/arm. It is a huge blessing that I am RIGHT handed. The pain was and is tremendous! After, getting up and "shaking myself off" I assessed my situation. After wrapping my injury with ICE and fashioning a sling with an Ace bandage I took off for the Prompt Care Clinic about fifteen minutes drive away.
X-rays were taken. And - YEP - just as I thought - there was a fracture! I don't have time for this nonsense ! ! ! By evening time, an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon was scheduled for the next morning. THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT - (because I am feeling too awful to write more) surgery is scheduled on Wednesday for Open Reduction Internal Fixation Left Distal Radius Fracture. I am using pain pills and getting slight pain relief. "This too, shall pass".
Sunday Update - Splint too tight. I had to rewrap it. Not pretty!
I spent the day staying very quiet getting plenty of rest and elevating and periodically icing my wrist\hand.
It was a beautiful weekend and I hope all of you had a nice time.
Until next time - - -
