Broken Arm

Post 1

Whoops, I haven't been on the H2G2 in a while ...

On August 19th my bicycle hit a pothole. My hand went out to catch myself, and ... it worked, from a certain point of view! smiley - erm

The people at the emergency room in the local hospital took one look and decided they weren't touching it, so I had to get taken to a different hospital which is over an hour's drive away; over the weekend I stayed at my mother's house. My arm got surgery and was in a split for a couple of weeks; I stayed at my dad's house after the surgery because my mom and stepdad had some Business Stuff which really couldn't wait.

The splint got taken off on Tuesday at hospital #2 and replaced with a removable bracer; the doctor prescribed getting tiny amounts of exercise for it, and said I was absolutely forbidden from having long soaking baths, hot tubs, saunas etc. for at *least* three days. The next appointment will be on October 20th, at which point I'll be getting OT at the local hospital, which is only a 20 minute walk away.
