Shattered my Wrist

Today really was not my day...earlier this afternoon me and some friends decided to go skating. I was completely minding my own business, until some person decides to come along and ended up roughly pushing me over. I put my hand out to stop the fall and ended up completely snapping my wrist. So that gave me a cast that I will probably have for about 6 weeks, along with unbearable pain. If anyone has broken a bone they would know how painful it really is...I also have to type with one hand like now. I know it was probably an accident, but some people really get on my nerves these days

The first thing Monty did when I came home was sniff the cast on my arm and look up at me as if saying, "What did you do to yourself this time?" That's my boy, he knows how to cheer me up!

not good

Ouch. Hope your ok. What a nasty thing to happen, hope it was a clean break so it mends quickly. Take it easy Xx

Sorry to hear of your accident hope you fix soon

oohh hope the pain eases soon. ><

oooh that made me cringe! sounds painful, hope it heals up quickly!

Thats terribel news. I broke my wrist when I was about your age. Very painfull injury. Good luck with your recovery.

OUCH!!!!

Ouch Hope the pain subsides soon and recovery goes well

hope you get better soon, touch wood i have only broken a finger

ouch! hope your wrist heals quickly

Oh dear! Milk it for all it's worth..you have a broken wrist so can't POSSIBLY do any tidying or poo picking

This is what really puts me off ice skating - we sometime watch people at the ice rink, but there is always some idiot who is zooming about, really close to people who are clinging on for their lives to the side rail. My last wrist break was an operation with metal sticking out, so I don't take any risks at all now!

Hope you feel a bit better soon - eventually you'll be so good at doing stuff one handed that you won't even notice the cast

OUCH! Hope you're not in too much pain - do you have any painkillers?

I don't skate, but I enjoy watching ice hockey. The idea of me sliding around on two knives on a sheet of ice doesn't exactly thrill me!

>< get better soon x

Wishing you a speedy recovery, but then make the most of it if you can >< from me and Rocky

Hope you heal well and are pain free really soon. Love and hugs from Tyson too ><

Gemma you want me to kiss it better?

Thanks everyone, feeling a bit better today. Not as painful, though my wrist does throb. I now have the ability to sit out of anything involving work on my hand Good thing is it was my right wrist and I'm left-handed, so I can still write.

Very true, I don't have to tidy much and I got my older brother on Monty duty

Yes, I did take some painkillers. I was never into skating a whole lot either but once the family went I kind of liked it and learned how. When I was younger and saw people skating I thought, "how do people do this!?"

Thank you for the offer, but I should be fine
