This is from Monday:
So, I am typing this on my tablet because it is magnitudes less painful for me. I don't know what I did exactly, but I have injured my wrist. Unfortunately, my right hand...yes, my dominant hand. Approximately, a week ago I tripped and fell to the ground with my right hand extended out in front of me. I was trying to save my bad knee which I did, but in the process hurt my wrist. It was not very swollen just sore. Then over the week, the pain got worse and the swelling continued. So, off to the Orthopedic Hand Specialist I go...I'll keep you posted.
Wednesday update:
Ahh yes, my posts are going to be kept short and sweet for a while I'm afraid. I have a nice arm accessory for the next 7 weeks...a beautiful exos cast. Actually, they are pretty darn neat...if it wasn't on my arm! They are a new waterproof cast. The doctor pretty much bakes it and then molds it to your wrist, arm etc. It is fairly comfortable as long as I am not trying to use it. It's very difficult not to use your right hand when that is what you do. I am trying my best and doing what I can. It's going to be a long 7 weeks, but we'll get by. Have a good Wednesday ya'll.
