...wrist.

Out to Seattle, to see one of my sons. Went to some big lake, for a little fishing, and while walking down a sloped dirt path to the water, took a hard fall. Right hand swelled big time. Got back to his house, felt all around my hand, and wrist...nothing. So, figured just a bad sprain.
That was on a Sunday, supposed to head home (driving) the next morning. Put a wrap on the hand. That was six weeks ago.
Still not much, so decided to get it checked. Hand was jammed back, towards my forearm, and the joint at the wrist, to the two bones in the forearm separated, forcing that joint to slip. Bones in the forearm/wrist are somewhat healed, but out of place. Couldn't tell because of all the swelling.

That joint will have to be re-busted, metal plate added...and probably six more weeks, but in a cast. Nuff said. Not the happy camper. Yeah, I'm right-handed.
 
That sucks, but that'll learn you for not getting it checked out immediately.
 
Sucks, shattered the growth plate in my wrist a few years back had to have played and screws etc installed. Not fun
 
Sorry to hear this. Hope you get better soon!
 
Thanks, guys! Almost think I feel better about it!:mad:

Had my ins, and out with docs, most of 'em don't trust as far as I can throw 'em. Personal problem.

Not looking forward to it, but needs to be done.
 
he will know when its gonna rain for the rest of his life.
broke my collarbone in 4 places.
that's my rain detector.
its a painfull b-otch.
 
Wow...4 places. The stuff us humans go through. I've been lucky, so far, I think.

Should be putting my buckets together, right now. Two handed job. Might have to do it, anyways.
 
Sucks, falling the first thing you do is stick your hand out. Get well!
 
That sucks,
get well soon, hope for a full & speedy recovery
 
Much appreciated, guys! Thanks!

Going to call today, to schedule the operation.
 
I know what your saying, can't stand Doctor visits and dislike their drugs even more. At least they're fixing yours, I broke my collarbone in a crash (motorcross) and they never did reset it.... big funny bump in mine now. Good luck
