I love showing people these

Ok, one more blog for me... Because I found that I like showing people this stuff. lol
Pic of the x-ray of my arm, 2 weeks after surgery (its been 3 weeks at the time of this post), the small plate and 6 screws are plainly visible.
Shortly after the x-ray was taken, the doctor removed my splint, and I am splint/cast free for the remaining 4 weeks of bone healing time. This is what my arm looked like when the splint was removed.
That was all last week, so really the bone wont be 100% healed for another 3 weeks. But in the meantime I can use my arm pretty much just like I could before I went stupid and broke the damn thing. Mobility of my wrist is somewhat limited ATM, but I notice small improvements daily.

So you have to have that plate and screws in there forever or do they take it out?

Doc says the only way it will ever come out is if it causes some sort of problem in the future. So, really no, its likely to never come out.

Doc didn't order PT for your wrist? I'm surprised. Around here they write PT orders for a lot less than a little immobility after coming out of a cast.

Im not really sure what a PT is, lol.... But no, all I have had thus far are x-rays. Still can only twist my wrist a little more than half way atm.
