I Broke My Wrist Yesterday Afternoon.
I was working on the house late yesterday. I was on this 5 foot ladder, putting up storm windows. The ladder went one way and I went the other. Four hours, 2 emergency rooms and an appointment with a surgeon on Monday for a couple of plates. What a weekend! And, the vicodin just kicked in.

2. I hope it heals quick
You never know how often you use some body parts until it hurts like hell when you scratch your head (or countless other mundane tasks).

:hug:

7. Ow! Plates?
I am so very sorry. :hug:

I really, really hope you heal fully, with no complications, and never, ever develop arthritis in that wrist.

Good vibes for full strength and motion in that wrist! Be well. :hug:

In the meantime, I hope you can enjoy the vicodin. Some people enjoy taking the painkillers. :)

8. My sympathies....
I broke my left wrist a few years ago. It took me weeks just to be able to put on deodorant and take a proper shower. And there is no way you can get your hands really clean.

Hope you are a fast healer! :hug:
