Fra ctured wrist

thanks both! did make me smile ;-) bit doubtful whether hospital will offer vphysio as waiting lists are so long but i might treat meself to a couple of sessions of private physio if its not offered on nhs. at the moment a look and feel a wreck and am very tired and lacking in energy but youre right, walking is good and i need to build up stamina. persuaded my OH to take me to knole for a short walk today. thank you so much, both, for your replies! x

I broke mine a few years ago right before Xmas too! Had it operated on as broke both bones. I recommend physio - hospital has it available, will ensure all continues moving. My hand basically seized up so I could hardly move my fingers but physio was good.

My little grandson feels your pain :-) . He broke his the day before his birthday in December . His shiny new bike is still unridden and he cannot play sports, go in the playground or ride his bike until March as he fractured his growth plate.

I asked him for tips - he said- and I quote :-

1. Mummy will wash you ( but its ok to be grubby lol!!)
2. Ask your best friend to come over to play
3. Its ok to wear your pants for 2 days if getting them off is tricky but don't tell Mummy.
4. If you say it hurts people give you ice lollies and such.

Seriously , I feel for you , nothing worse than being incapacitated when you are raring to go. Exercise wise , maybe walking is the best you can do for now? Decluttering can wait ( no matter how much it will bug you ) .

I think covering it up with a plastic bag and showering is the easiest solution for personal care and likewise choosing easy clothes just for now. It will improve of course but you just have to get through to that place.

Hope I at least gave you a smile x
