Recovering from 5 fractures + 1 bent bike...?

[mrmacmusic]

I've only just read this, how are you doing now? & Best wishes. I do hope things are going well.

I spent years (literally) with my left arm in a fixed support and whilst I never had the trauma of breaking it, I did have some 11 operations over 15 years on it one of which did break it for me, or more accurately take a surgical saw to it! I also had the arm in a full support for 8 weeks on 2 separate occasions

Thanks SNSSO... sounds like you've had your own troubles to deal with and puts my temporary situation into perspective!

Three weeks in I'm feeling more frustrated than anything although I do still have some pain twinges and I did think the swelling and bruising to my hand and fingers would've subsided more than it has by now... I'm counting the days until my hospital appointment next Thursday when the cast is supposed to come off - assuming they don't need to put another one back on after checking the X-rays, I reckon that'll be when the fun begins getting the arm working again. I'm under no illusions that I'll be able to jump straight back on the bike (although I'm itching to!) and just hope the next stage goes quickly and there are no complications.
