Broke my wrist in Montana!

Whilst i was in Rapid City, SD, I thought I would get my hand casted. A friend of mine found a place that would cast iot for me. So, I go. He takes more x-rays, and tells me it isn't broken. BUT, there could be a broken bone that won't show up for weeks. I am now at my Dad's in CT. (Wahooo, I am almost home. ( I also spent 5 days visiting my Aunt & Uncle in PA> That was wonderful.) I still have a good deal of pain in my pinky finger, as well as the next finger over, and it goes into my hand & wrist. I will have it checked out when I get home. It hurts a good deal. Thank you ALL for your good thoughts and suppport! I REALLY apreciate it. God bless.
 
Well, since I STILL have pain (broke wrist on 4/27/08), I went to see an Orthopod who specializes in hands/wrists. ANd YES, I did indeed break my wrist, according to the x-rays. He is sending me for an MRI. We will then take it from there. I am not currently casted.
 
That's frustrating. My wife just had an MRI and I sat in on it. LOUD! :eek: (even with earplugs!)

Best wishes and prayers sent for your speedy recovery from this situation and the pain it's causing.
 
Thank you KeithAM!! I really appreciate that!!

I hope everything turns out well for your wife too!! Prayers to her as well.

There was nice little walk-in clinic in West Yellowstone.

While you are in SD, I suggest that you DON'T see Mt. Rushmore (or is it in ND?), cause if you fall off of THAT, a simple cast or splint won't help you much.:D.:D.
 
glockman99: I have been home in MA. for almost 3 weeks now. And been there, done that with visiting Mt. Rushmore when I LIVED in SD.
 
That's too bad. I feel sorry for you. It's a shame to have to go through something like that for so long. Good luck, and a speedy recovery too. Prayers sent.
 
Thank you kindly smitty0331. I REALLY appreciate the prayers, as there is nothing more powerful! It hurts a lot, but it WILL get better. It CAN always be worse!!

Sucks Sucks Sucks
Cracked a rib on the handlebars of my bike last week. Sober. A bike was my primary transport for 5 years in Germany. I ride my bike daily. I am better on 2 wheels than many folks are on 2 legs. Got cocky & misread a curb. Hurts to sleep, sneeze, cough, blink, think, etc... Didn't sleep for 3 days until I had 24+ hrs to rest. Vodka + Vicodin. Carefully measured. Slept the sleep of the just & righteous for 12 hrs & could finally reach into the fridge again.
Good luck w/ the fracture.

As a rugby player, aren't you used to that kind of thing?:D

Seriously, continue to get better. And easy on the medical mix.
 
T.K.C.---Try this. Find a smooth round rock. Ask the rock to please help heal your wrist, and gently rub the rock on your wrist. :)
