The cast came off on Monday and the hand and arm underneath looked awful.
I jumped straight in the bath when I got home from the hospital and armed with the exfoliator and with gentle scrubbing, after about 1/2 hour I no longer resembled something from Quatermass & the Pit except that my hand's the size of a melon 
Next, I've gotta undergo the delights of the physioterrorists

What a waste. You could have gone down to the cinema and scared people coming out of a District 9 screening.
Er, I mean hope everything goes well.

Nah, I'd have left a trail and they'd have followed me home for cocoa & biccies.

Hope the physio do good stuff for you. They managed it for my mum after she ended up with both wrists in plaster at the same time

Well the appointment with the physioterrorist isn't until the 22nd, the swelling's gone down a bit & I've stopped moulting 
but I still can't do 
or touch my ring finger with my thumb which is a bit limiting. Not to mention the load of clean washing I dumped on the potato patch whilst fending off a wasp with my good hand

You have my sympathy!!!
I broke my wrist for around the third time several years back, was told by then hubby 'stop fussing, you've just twisted it.' (he was a 
!!!) & ended up with the damn thing in a cast for 3 months in 45°C Middle east summer; jeez, the itching!
When the dear doc (*not* hubby one!) took the cast off, he tugged at the wrist to check all was sorted...& promptly broke the damn thing again!!!
So, back to another cast, then around a year in a wrist splint. Don't let the boggers try playing with it is my advice; left to its own devices & Your Judgment (after all, it *is* your body, surely you know it best?
) they seem to heal fairly well, though you may have to be careful for the rest of your life about stuff like levering yourself up using wrists with hands straight out, better is to use hands in fist shape.
....the worst bit is over now!
