[lace] Agnes with a broken wrist

2010-08-09 Thread Alex Stillwell
Hi Agnes

At least you did not choose your right wrist. A broke my left and I am
left-handed. Fortunately mine was not as painfull as yours sounds. Just to put
the records straightI did not stay in hospital overnight, I was back in the
hotel about 7pm and the only after effect of the anaesthetic was that I was
sleeping 12 hours a day. Yesterday was the first day my sleeping started to
reduce. The surgeon made a marvelous job involving a plate and 3 screws and I
now only have a velcro fastened protective wrap with a splint to use when my
wrist may be at risk. I have full use of my fingers, my typing is almost back
to normal and my specialist has recommended lacemaking as therapy - what a
wonderful excuse. It's somewhat slow as some turning, flexing and side-to side
movements are still painful, but they are improving every day. Keep your
fingers moving if you can and let me know how you get on.

All best wishes.

Alex.

P.S. Thank you to all my 'mothers' at IOLI, everyone was so concerned and
offering help all the time. You are a great bunch.

Alex, with comments like that you'll be making everyone fall and break  
a wrist...  VBG


Seriously though, it's not nice breaking a bone I remember it  
well!!  but if I ever do it again I'm asking for this surgeon!  Hope  
it's better soon, it's bad enough being a leftie in a right handed  
society without breaking the left arm as well.  You have another  
leftie's sympathy!
