(24,276 posts)Here's to an excellent recovery, even if it takes time. The wrist is sooo complex!
I had to be in rehab bc of living alone after a tri fractured ankle, and surgery. Yeah, I got metal.
As for OT, PT. I've had two major accidents about 20 years (rotator cuff, then ankle) - as long as you do your exercises like 96% of the time you'll heal excellently. So just a teeny bit of slouching off is ok when you absolutely don't want to do them, but that's all! Otherwise keep at it.
As an aside - and I should look it up - at the big rehab room, there was this what looked like a 15" inch complex wooden "sculpture" on the wide windowsill. What the heck would that he doing there?
I never asked but it could be for wrist, and especially hand/finger rehab. All different angles and curves to manipulate, and approximate so many different finger movements at first. Then obviously handing items, etc
While I'm sure not happy having gone through what I did - at least I can give encouragement, and advise to others.
And yeah I had those blood thinner belly shots in rehab. A bit ouchie!
Keep us posted on your progress. 👍
