just got out of hospital
was 20foot up a ladder on Monday when it slid down the wall, me left wrist went through the ladder then the ladder with me ontop of it landed on the writs... I knew it was broken straight away because my writ was a zug zag shape :-s
long story short, end of arm bone in 15birts and my wrist joint turned to dust (apparently that's the medical term)
wasn't looking good, docs were talking about fixing my wrist solid so i could never move it again, or best case putting a metal cage around my arm with screws going into arm/wrist to hold things in place
I know doc's normally go worst case but realised how bad it was when every time i went for an x-ray or mri scan the people doing it would call in the people from the other rooms to come have a look and then there'd all gather round and ask how I did it :-s
but... one 4 hour opp later and they were surprised how strong my bones are and managed to fix most of it... so no metal cage etc.. and I can still move my fingers (there was a chance they would die)
so I've got a cast on for 1 week, then go get it changed for a different one for 4 weeks, then some sort of brace on for months while they try to get my wrist moving again
pretty sh*tty, but a lot better than I was expecting
I had everyone on the ward prepped not to tell any of my visitors how bad it was and to cover the cage up with a blanket when I got back from surgery so my mother wouldn't freak out!
