I had surgery a couple of days after the accident to put a plate in my arm. I wore a splint for 7 weeks (for the last 5 weeks I could take it off while bathing). Two weeks ago the doc said I no longer had to wear it. And he had me start physical therapy to regain the lost range of motion in my wrist and start strengthening the muscles and bone in my arm. I have a lovely 4" scar that runs down my forearm.
I go to PT twice a week and its going well. My wrist has most of its range of motion back. I can't pick up anything over a couple of pounds with just my left arm, but it is getting stronger.
health,
good things
