it'll be wrapped up for 12 weeks(hopefully). first, in 10 days i'll have to get another x-ray to see if its healing right and if not...... they will have to re-break it!! ... and if all is good, the unknown amount of time in physical therapy. i really hope this isn't the straw that breaks the camels back that gets me kicked out of the Air Force if its a leading cause of not being able to pass the push ups... i wish i could remember when it broke the first time &how long it took for me to get back to 100%... thankfully i'm right handed ! & atleast i can still write and wipe my butt
and the road to recovery begins ! cast is off, hand and arm looks like an arm found on a zombie with dry dead pealing skin.. limited movement which is expected after no movement for 13weeks.... Ortho doc said movement first then strength. initial physical therapy assessment is scheduled for 7 Dec with an unknown set schedule... one step at a time!! i'm super happy i can type again! chicken pecking the key board was starting to get really really old
They casted you for 13 weeks??? I'm a sports doc in the bay area and work with one of the best hand surgeons around. PM me if you need a second opinion or anything else.
