Made it home and NO CAST!!!!It is really stiff and i will try to take it easy.Thank-you all for caring for me.

It is now snowing like crazy out there ,started on the last 50 miles coming home.
Doctor says as he pushes back on my stiff arm .Does that hurt??
I yelled yes it does.:(:( I think he wasn't to pleased that it still hurt but****I said can we now try the cortisone shots every few months .They seem to help more then your dumb old cast .At least he laughed and agreed ,and in a few years if need be (which i doubt) he can operate .but NOT NOW!!!!He said he only fixed 2 other wrists in his life besides me.Wonderful .Anyways Thanks for caring everyone hugs Carolyn

Doctor's scare me when they say things like that. As a teenage I lost my left eye in an auto accident. Last year I had cataract surgery, when the Doctor finished he said "I am as glad as you are it is over". OMG, I was glad he didn't say that before.
Thank care of yourself Carolyn, I love seeing your "fun"!

Glad you are save. Have you thought about seeing another doctor? Someone who deals with wrists on a daily basis?

Back home safe and sound without your cast GREAT. Hope the pain will soon disappear and your arm will be back to normal before too long. You shall have to find other light chores to do while the snow comes down and you recuperate. Stay warm. Sandra.

Carolyn. If you are not better in a couple of months, see another Dr. If he has only done two wrists , get some one else. Do you have the ability to choose another doctor? Kay

Oh Carolyn, I for one, am relieved to hear you made it home safely. I know what you mean about being stiff and it hurts. Dr wanted to see today how much I could, or he could bend my leg, not much, but will have therapy.....only fixed 2 wrists...and you drove that far?-lol-not funny I know, but it doesn't encourage you saying that and it still hurts. ..Well, I'm still glad you are home again.

I'm thinking you may have to put a 2 hour alarm clock setting beside your machine! 2 hours "on" and 2 hours "off". ??? Those of us who don't drive on snow were quite worried about you till you posted! I know you are grateful to leave the nasty old cast with the doctor and move forward!

Glad to hear you got home safely, and cast-free!!! I know it will be a challenge for you to actually "take it easy". You do so much every day, and not just in your sewing room. Hope you do get to rest your wrist so it can heal better. With all the snow you are getting, it is a good time to sit in front of the fire and watch a goid movie. Stay warm!

Glad to see you home safely, we have all been thinking of you out there on the snowy roads. Hope your wrist improves, I know how inconvenient those casts are, I had one for 6 months after 2 months in plaster. Great relief when it came off. All the best. Cheers Bev.

Oh! I'm so sorry to hear that you are still in pain. I remember when Mum had her cast off her wrist and she said it was still sore for a couple of weeks later. She is now fine. I do hope that yours heals as fast Carolyn! In the meantime take it easy and rest it as much as possible. I know that will be hard for you, but if I can do it, so can you! I'm just feeling like getting back to doing some sewing, but I'm really just looking at the moment and will try something easy. Good luck my dear and I hope the drive wasn't too harrowing. Congratulations on getting back home - keep warm. Love Chris
