I went back to the doctor on Wednesday because my wrist wasn't getting better - it was getting worse. Some fresh x-rays at different angles revealed that there was in fact a broken bone in there, and it wasn't going to get better on its own. Two days later I was in the hospital, first thing in the morning for surgery.
Scaphoid break. They had to dig in there, but them back together, then screw it in place. It took two days before I could really move my arm fully, and the splint stops me from doing just about anything with my dominant hand.
Typing is tricky, but here I am.
I am once again unable to drive or do anything that would involve both arms. I'm out of work until the 26th - and that's right before Thanksgiving anyway. I can't even use a mouse, or hold a game controller. I'm stuck with passive entertainment.
That and I can't bend my wrist at all. I cannot express how much I hate this splint. Not looking forward to the cast I get when the stitches come out.
