About 5 weeks ago I fell and went to urgent care, fractured ribs and a slight fracture of my left wrist.

Followed up with an orthopedist, diagnosis fractured wrist, wear a brace splint for 4 weeks.

Follow up today and my xray is good, NO MORE brace  final follow up in 6 weeks if I feel the need.

I am so happy

I tripped on a rock at the other end of the development, the side roads are very rustic here

You have good bones!

When I broke mine, I opted for surgery, no need for a cast.

Yay!  Mine was in a cast for three weeks for a slight fracture.  Glad you got out of that and you're now free of it all.  I remember those one handed days.  Not fun!  Congrats!

Isn't nice to be done?  

 

For a while they had mine above the elbow, but even when it was shortened there was no way to shower the area or wash those finger tips.  

 

Skin sure was smooth after the peeling.
