My one / left handed life...

Is getting really old.  It's amazing what we take for granted in life, especially when it comes to our health and our bodies.  It's been two weeks and a couple of days since I broke my wrist and I'm so tired of it already.  I'm not sure yet how long I'm going to have this cast on as when I went in for another x-ray on Monday the Dr. was not happy that it had moved back to where it was before he set it.  He said it would be borderline "ok" if it stays where it is right now, but if it moves any more, he will have to repair it surgically.  Yikes!  I was not prepared to hear that.  Thinking about how much more time it might take to heal made me very unhappy.  He called me the next day to assure me that even if I do have surgery it wouldn't add much if anything to my recovery time because since it would be supported with pins I wouldn't need a cast and would have mobility in my wrist even faster.  So I guess it's not the end of the world.  I'd rather have it done right, even if it does take a little longer.
