Thanks again for warm words

I can laugh a little about this, but its weird as heck, I have allways been a hands on laborer, even as management.

It is weird not being able to bend wrist area.

I am getting slowly used to it, just well, 49 year old habits hard to break.

Moving forward!

That would be the end of a great source of pleasure in my life if I lost use of my wrist

How would I be able to move the mouse around?

But the number of people I have taken the piss out of for having a wrist in a bandage - I sincerely hope you are suffering the same ridicule Sr. Troll?

I think he's suggesting he'd give you a hard time for having a bandaged wrist, due to the ... common ... reason for wrist strain among young men.

Quite common amongst older men sometimes as well or so I heard...


Goood, now I know

[Grandpa Troll]

UPDATE

Thanks for all concerns!

I do cherish my time here at Poly!

Working through therapy, swelling still pretty much there, slowly receding, maybe another 8-12 weeks I am told

Bone regeneration @ day 39...believe they have me for about 12-14 weeks..per my surgeon

ROM (Range of motion) improving slowly


Minimal necessity for pain meds which is such a blessing!

Have a great day all!

Appreciate the update, Gramps. Pleased to learn you're continuing to progress in your recovery.

[DrSpike]

Indeed.

Being someone who tends to hide in a single corner and not come out unless dragged out, I had no idea that GT had had any surgery or any problems (other than just "gettin' old") until I read this thread. I honestly thought that this thread aws some kind of 'surgery' run by GT (think polititian's surgery, not doctor's).

Having now read the thread, I have 2 things to say:

1. Glad to see you're doing well. So many things can go wrong, it's great to hear a success story.
2. Perhaps if you offered some kind of 'Surgery' service to people, it would give you something to do in stead of sitting around complaing that you can't do anything... Seriously I bet you'd be great at it. "The Troll is in", anybody?

Oh, and don't mind Provost. There's not a lot to do around this part of London. There pretty much a choice of: Join a gang, Surf teh intawebs, or amuse oneself. And the second one is rare unless you nick a PC...
