It has been way too long but I finally have my brace off. To backtrack I hurt my hand while trying to move and put away my whole house by myself. Scott kept telling me to wait for him to get home from work but as you all know I am NOT a patient person in that regard. I just couldn't fathom "waisting" all that time. Plus everyone knows I CAN DO ANYTHING right? apparently not. With all the lifting and moving of big heavy things I noticed it was hurting. I went to urgent care a week later who referred me to a specialist that I saw a week after that and he told me I created some stress fractures in my palm which is actually an easy heal but I also tore the ligament? tendon? (I forget which) the one that runs from my wrist to my thumb. Long story short he said " QUIT USING YOUR HAND!!" the more I use it the longer its going to take to heal and soft tissue takes longer to heal. So he put me in a more restricting brace and told me to treat it like a cast.
So we are marking this day as a day of freedom. . . . For me.
and hopefully I have learned my lesson on patience. When I don't wait patiently for help I will be forced to be patient.
