(#5783) Wrist update

      My right wrist took a bit of a beating yesterday at work but overall it wasn't too bad an experience. I think fortunately though I get the next two days off to rest again before starting back to work. I didn't do anything ridiculous to aggravate my surgery but the accumulative effect most likely is causing a bit of discomfort. I slept well last night and my wrist feels much better this morning. It has only been 5 days since surgery but I cannot adhere to the best advice from the surgeon because like most people I cannot take time off from my life. So I have to calculate the best way forward to get close to the medical advice I have been given.
     In nine days I will get the the bandages removed and the stitches out. I will still be very limited in what I can do but at least I should be past the stage where the surgery cuts could become infected. My strength returning in my right arm as far as normal function will take several months but at least I will be on the road to that goal. Just how quickly I may achieve my normal strength is incumbent upon me being careful yet unrestrained. I will push the limits of what is possible while paying keen attention to how that effect will inform me. Pain is my friend in this case but too much is not. I have all the recommendations I need to exercise and stretch my wrist repair and with that I am satisfied I can heal up quickly.
     We will see how it goes and that will be informative since I will do the other wrist in very short order. Learn from the right wrist and apply that lesson to the left wrist. All I know is that both wrists are going to go through a transformation to help them improve. It will be a few months but time has a way of moving along even when it seems like it is dragging. Soon I will be able to use my hands the way I have always used them up until this last little bit of time. When I get the bandages off in 9 days I will send a picture out on my social media platform of what before and after actually look like.
