The cast is off. It was... gross. Scabs from the incision site that had fallen off but were stuck to my wrist gross. Not to mention the dry skin stuck to me, among other things. I'd have thought one good scrub would take care of it, but it just kept coming. Eventually I quit and tried to dry it off, but that just made it dry and flaky.
But enough of that. Doc said the bone was healed 70%, so they gave me a removable splint for another four weeks. I already removed it. Don't worry, I'll keep it on when I'm up and about (I know myself, I'll wind up either overdoing it or hurting myself some other way) but when I'm sitting at my desk my wrist is free.
I had my elbow appointment immediately afterward, which was both convenient and annoying. I just wanted to get out of there, but whatever. This was my last elbow appointment, it's doing fine, and whatever restrictions would be in place would be dwarfed by the ones for my wrist anyway, so it's fine.
Excuse me I have to wash my hand again.
