So, still out on STD since my niece's wedding in early July.
After getting that pretty hot pink cast removed,
I went to PT for two weeks.
Wrist still not very flexible,
swollen and still hurt.
Last PT appointment was followed by my
follow up appointment with the Ortho doctor.
My wrist was bothering me during PT and I was glad
I went to doctor appointment after PT instead of vice versa.
As is SOP, I went in and had an X-ray done.
Well, as my luck would have it, there on this film was
yet another broken bone that did not show up on previous images.
Sooooo....
Doctor wanted an MRI so he could better see what was going on and...
he signed me out for another month.
Yesterday, I had my MRI and found that I am not claustrophobic,
at least when you go in head first, laying on your stomach and your
injured wrist laid out above your head.
I almost fell asleep since I decided to close my eyes.
Never knew that the top and bottom of the MRI machine were open.
I thought you went into a closed bottom tube (kinda like the body refrigerators
found in morgues).
The technician was very pleased with my lack of movement... made for great images.
Waiting for doctor to get results and analysis to find out what the path forward for my injury will be. Could be anything from recasting to splint to who knows what.
At least I am off until September 29 for now.
Had I known I'd be off from work this long, I would have scheduled a get-a-way.
