Three weeks ago, while on a trip to Seattle for work meetings, I fell and broke a bone in my right hand. I've had it in a cast and am having to learn to get by with only using my very NON-dominant left hand. It has been a struggle.
Yesterday I had my original plaster cast removed and now am wearing a special sort of hard plastic cast that laces up tight. I can remove it for an hour or so each evening and do a few exercises to get movement back into my hand.
I will do this for about another three weeks and then we'll re-evaluate how the healing process is progressing. Hopefully with some physical therapy I will get back full strength and range of motion.
For now, I'm learning lessons about patience, accepting my limitations and asking for help--none of which come easy for me.
So it goes.
How frustrating, but how easily done. Kim tripped last year and just sprained his wrist, but he had to drive 12 hours home, using a stick shift, so, yeah, tough stuff! Good luck with the healing.
