...And The Good News Is...

...that there is only so much bad news. A visit to the surgeon today to check my progress was not surprisingly disappointing. I have known my wrist has not been making normal progress and today the surgeon confirmed that he has concerns regarding possible RSD, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy...I won't go into detail, you can Google it if interested. My ongoing swelling, ultra sensitive skin to touch and stiffness are symptoms. Also, my thumb still refuses to bend and my sensory issues in the thumb and palm remain unimproved. So, he thinks it is advisable to explore surgically the nerve issue to my thumb to see if it's impinged, damaged etc. and this has been set for May 24. I also learned that my fracture was an intra articular fracture which means that it went into the joint...not good news since it disrupts the cartilage. Barb, you're really a pro at falling. OK...that's enough bad news for one day...it WAS sunny today, so that was nice.
