So tomorrow will be the three week mark since I broke my first bone ever! :P I broke my scaphoid bone on Tuesday, September 18 then had surgery to get a screw in the bone(it was that bad :/) on the Friday of that same week, I'm grateful that it all happened so quickly. Then I had to wait 11 days after my surgery to get my permanent cast so that the swelling would go down.
Checking into the ER
Waiting for the ER Doc to let me know how the x-rays looked... already starting to practice using my phone left handed ;)
When he told me my wrist was broken
The ER nurses putting my temporary cast on... it hurt so bad!!
So this is the x-ray :/
Prep for surgery!
I actually don't remember Justin taking this picture lol... apparently the anesthesiologist slipped me my drugs early haha
Before and after surgery x-rays
My temporary cast after surgery. This picture is to show how swollen my hand was... and this wasn't even at it's worst.
When they took my temp. cast off, before they took out the stitches and I got the x-rays...speaking of the x-rays I almost passed out twice during them, which is not like me at all!
My cute permanent cast!! That I will now have for 3-6 months :P
So after almost 3 weeks of not being able to shower by myself I finally showered and shaved and everything all by myself yesterday!!! I know that probably sounds kind of funny, but there you have it.
