it's a speedy recovery as well. I have 1 month of PT 3 times wkly. My specialist says we need to be aggressive and to expect pains -LOTS! Let's just say I almost had whiplash hearing that. I already have pain -- u mean I must have more! He diagnosed me with early onset RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, which is a chronic neurological syndrome caused by an injury)-- all this due to a fan attacking me. Doc said we caught it early & w/aggressive therapy I "should" (eek-gasp) get "most" of my mobility back in my wrist and forearm. I am learning rapidly how to do things left-handed (yes, I am a righty) - I'm typing mostly left handed and a finger from right hand. Slow going let me tell u. When I get my wrist back I'm switching stories I think my mind-set will be more of the MAINE-ac kind. In the interim I'm outlining use my dictaphone. Can't keep a writer down...right? I shall keep in touch. Here's to a speedy reccovery & use of my hand thats pain free.
