Broke my wrist at football last monday and have been in hospital until yesterday and i am now an housebound driver who cant even make a sandwich with out a bit of assistance,even having a bath is a work of art.Ive got this metal work on the outside of my arm that is like carrying a mini climbing frame around with me which seems to bang into everthing causing pain just to remind me.Even the bedroom department is a non starter,just like the sccoby in the garage.....roll on the next 7 to 8 weeks..any words of comfort gratefully recieved preferbly from experienced bone brakees...powerman

Broke a bone in my right hand a couple of years ago so I can relate to what you going through. Was in plaster for 4 weeks (no scaffolding for me) and I quickly found out how much I take the use of my right hand for granted

Heres wishing you a speedy recovery mate

How's the MRSA........ ?


Bad luck mate. Must have been a nasty break for a week in hospital. Bones heal quickly though. But you'll be back on the pitch before the season is over (next August ) dl - bust left arm once.

Broke my Tib and Fib in January 05 and couldn't walk/ drive for 3 months
Seemed like a lifetime but you get there in the end.
The metalwork i had was internal and was only removed a month ago [i was on my feet the day after the op but am still recovering] able to drive tho

the metalwork keeps getting caught in the whip and chains.....not a very attractive sight(iron work,bandages,yellow bruising etc)

Back in school i was doing the long jump on sports day....going for the record and i broke both my arms and both wrists in 6 places the Doctors said that breaks in both arms were identical, meaning i landed with a 50/50 weight distribution in my arms, a near-impossible feat



Get well soon....

don`t want to put a dampner on you but don`t rely on the broken bones heal ok in 6 - 8 week times that I expect you have been told.

Have been off for the last 3 months with two broken kneecaps and a broken hamstring and recovery is still not going too well.

Know how you feel about not being able to drive, I`ve just sold the scoob due to my accident and looks like it could be a while before I can drive yet.

Hope you heal up ok and get out and about asap.

oh yes
Physio will (may) seem like a waste of time but suggest you stick with it when the time comes.

Same here (but in 1996) these people with broken wrists have it so easy!

At least with a broken wrist you can make a cup of tea and actually take it back to the telly, rather than stand next to the kettle and drink it

Get well soon, powerman

obviously i am not as bad as some of you and i feel as though listening to others i am quite lucky and am still mobile to make cuppas etc...hope you other bone breakers make or have made a good recovery and thanks for you comments...
p.s the wife drives me round now which in itself is a frightening experience.....those curbs seem very near to the alloys when your in the passenger seat...
