Take good care of yourself. 🙌💙

Rest and heal.

keep us updated; I know you are going to be fine

It sounds like you have a caring husband there with you, so be sure not to push yourself too hard and rest up and wait for PT/OT to help guide you back to better health!

welcome home .

Here's to an excellent recovery, even if it takes time. The wrist is sooo complex!

I had to be in rehab bc of living alone after a tri fractured ankle, and surgery. Yeah, I got metal.

As for OT, PT. I've had two major accidents about 20 years (rotator cuff, then ankle) - as long as you do your exercises like 96% of the time you'll heal excellently. So just a teeny bit of slouching off is ok when you absolutely don't want to do them, but that's all! Otherwise keep at it.

As an aside - and I should look it up - at the big rehab room, there was this what looked like a 15" inch complex wooden "sculpture" on the wide windowsill. What the heck would that he doing there?

I never asked but it could be for wrist, and especially hand/finger rehab. All different angles and curves to manipulate, and approximate so many different finger movements at first. Then obviously handing items, etc

While I'm sure not happy having gone through what I did - at least I can give encouragement, and advise to others.
And yeah I had those blood thinner belly shots in rehab. A bit ouchie!

Keep us posted on your progress. 👍

And healing!!

Take good care~

injuries .

I hope you have no troubles with that. Get well soon.

Gentle hugs

My hubs had to give me the blood thinner shots in the belly. The bruises are something else.

I wish you the speediest of recoveries. Good luck with the PT and OT; just do what they tell you to do and you'll be fine.
Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Best wishes,

And take it easy until you heal. Best wishes,

sounds like a nightmare but your attitude is stellar! get well soon.

They're a pain, literally and figuratively, but they make all the difference.

Congratulations!

Or maybe Bits and Pieces by the Dave Clark 5?

Congratulations!

I think. Sometimes I get a bit confused about RFKJr's word salad.

I am so glad you are doing well.

Now the fun starts with OP and PT.
But they are fantastic and will be the ones to get you mobile
and functioning again. They are the greatest people on the recovery team.

don't try to rush the healing.

Are you injecting Lovenox? I had to do that after blood clots in my leg. The hospital told me they’d release me, but I’d have to inject myself. I told them I’d inject myself in the eye if that’s what it took to get out of the hospital.

In the belly, since I'm essentially one handed right now.

As pain free as possible.

You really want maximum recovery but there sometimes are limits to coverage with te PT & OT as they only have to get you to an "average" set of abilities. You have to balance taking your time with making steady progress.

And do everything your PT and OT tell you even when it's hard.😊Good luck.

I'm a clutz and have broken more bones than I care to remember. I often joke that I hope to die in a freak dancing accident.

Be sure to listen to your OT and PT therapists and make sure to do your independent exercises because they will make a world of difference. Plus, seeing the progress you make will keep your spirits up.

All the best with everything, Danmel! Stay encouraged!

❤️

Will be thinking of you!
