I’ve not been on Virily for a little while because I managed to break my wrist and find it difficult to type. I still have my arm in plaster, but I thought it about time I post something!
On 6th April I was walking home from work and tripped as I was stepping up onto the pavement. Of course I put my hands out to stop me falling and got this pain in my left wrist. I didn’t do anything about it that day as I thought the pain would go, but it didn’t. Anyway, I went to work that evening and my hand was swelling up even more. So the next morning I caught a bus to my local hospital to the Accident and Emergency Department. They x-rayed my wrist and told me I had broken 2 bones in my wrist! So that’s when I went to the Fracture Department to have this plaster cast put on. It only took about half an hour and you can choose the colour of the cast you want on too.
They also signed me off work for 6 weeks. Although I am glad of the time off, I wish it was under better circumstances lol and not with a busted wrist! But thankfully we have had some nice, sunny days so I have been sitting in the garden enjoying the weather.
Here is a video of a song that came to mind. The world is going through a tough time at the moment but things will get back to normal one day. I hope everyone is keeping well and safe.
Sorry so late in seeing this, I hope you are better.
I’m feeling much better now thankyou Carol. My cast comes off tomorrow. I can’t wait!
so sorry you hurt your wrist! sorry also that i missed this post!
It’s ok Doc, it’s easily done! The wrist don’t hurt so much now. My cast will come off in 2 weeks. I can’t wait!
i have sprained my ankles and knees and cracked ribs but I’ve never broken a bone.
I am sorry for you but you are taking it with good humour. I have always liked the song.
Thankyou for the lovely comment, Halcombe. 🙂
I hope you have already recovered! Take care!
Thankyou very much lleana. I have the cast on for another 3 weeks, I think. But it’s not so painful now which is good news. 🙂
We never know what can happen to us. This is unpleasant. You will now have the opportunity to rest. Take calcium pills and eat more eggs. I wish you more sunny days and good luck.
Thanks Lacho. I had never considered taking calcium pills, but I will get some! And yes, I eat plenty of eggs.
I have taken several people who have broken bones to the hospital, so it is enough to imagine how the pain they experienced after the accident occurred. I hope you get well soon, dear friend.
Thankyou very much Albert for the lovely comment.
You’re most welcome, dear friend.
Take care! I wish you a speedy recovery
Thankyou very much, Ellie. 🙂
Take care, don’t stress your wrist too much.
Thankyou Dawn for the lovely comment. No, I try not to stress. 🙂
That can be quite painful. Take care.
Thankyou grace. Yes, it was painfu. But it’s not so bad now.
I broke my wrist last year in 2019 on my way to work to teach clarinet. I knew the time Jan 13th 8:45am! And ecaxtly the spot on the sidewalk where there was a 10 cm wide pothole. In Israel the health clinic had an emergency triage so I was in and out in an hour. I had the cast for 6 weeks. I almost have full movement, the hand doesn’t bend as far back as it used to. Oh well, at least it doesn’t hurt. Good luck!
Ah, I hope your wrist is alright now. Yes, they told me the cast has to stay on for 6 weeks. 4 more to go!
