Since I don’t have any book/writing updates, I’m blogging again on my wrist.  Today marks the halfway point of my conservative treatment.  Two weeks down, two more to go.  Aside from accidentally popping my DH in the face in the middle of the night (which I have no knowledge of lol), I’ve been adapting fairly well.  It was hard at first to get used to doing everything one-handed, but it’s a little easier now.  I’m sure by the time I’m ready to get my cast off, I’ll be a natural at one-handedness.

Bad news is, my wrist doesn’t feel any better, even in the much more comfortable cast.  Sometimes, it will be good to me all day, only to randomly start hurting in the evening, despite the fact I haven’t done anything to facilitate the pain.  Other days are just bad days where it seems I’m popping pills all day.

I’m a little concerned, because the Ibuprofen says not to take longer than 10 days, unless instructed by a doctor.  I guess this counts as “being instructed by the doctor”, but it still worries me.  I doubt my pain will magically go away when this cast comes off and in fact, there’s no doubt in my mind I’ll need to wear a splint, since the doc mentioned physical therapy.  I highly doubt he’ll take off my cast and send me on my way.

But who knows, their office didn’t even give me a sling for this cast-beast, after all.

I’m skeptical this treatment is going to work for me.  If it would, you’d think I’d be feeling better.  I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact I haven’t been able to bend my wrist and its aching because of that.  I mean, I’m not a doctor.  But I don’t think so.  Had a handful of meds for breakfast this morning and I’m feeling somewhat better.

I don’t care if I have to wear a splint after this cast, I just want the cast off!  The bent elbow and trash bag showers have lost their mystique.  LOL  Only light at the end of this tunnel is knowing I now only have two weeks left rather than four.
