Tripped over last night leaving my mates house, wouldn’t mind but I hadn’t had a drink because I was driving back, five hours up the hospital, one wrist in plaster and a cracking black eye from face planting my self. 

Wow , Sorry Egger . Was it a " dinner fork " fracture ? I have had broken wrists on a few occasions , at one time I remember having both wrists in plaster and grinding some of it away so that I could reach and work the clutch and front brake 🙂   Mend up buddy .

So the "Eggs" nickname lives on to be used again......get well quick but a broken wrist is a bar steward, lots goes on in that joint and full mobillity will take a fair while - the Mrs did hers on a muddy field path....took a while to get it back to normal.

Good reason for yellow curry and cider.

Both will help with the healing . Calcium tablets and magnesium will also help. I think both of those are in the bucket licks for the sheep.😁

It's not so bad. Takes 10-12 weeks then lots of effort. I was back dragging after about 6 weeks.

Key is intensive physio

Take it easy eggs. Mine took a while to sort itself self completely.
I got told off by the nurse for taking a hole saw to the cast in the palm of my hand so it would sit over the gear leaver 🤣

It’s not good, back to the hozzy today, that plaster wasn’t cutting the mustard. They’ve cut the cast off and replaced it with a splint. appointment next week at another hospital at the trauma & orthopaedics clinic, I’m fairly good with pain but this is another level.

What painkillers are you on? Voltarol was very effective I found in similar circumstances.

Only over the counter stuff at the moment, don’t like taking them, they upset my guts. My mate had a hip replacement recently and he’s dropped some of his painkillers off along with half a morphine patch but I’m holding back until I see my quack in the morning.

Ask about Voltarol, really helped me with acute pain.

 

Sorry to hear of your fall, fell on my arse today dragging branches backwards. Going down I thought ‘this could be bad’ luckily no harm done.

We’re not 18 anymore!
