The arm is cleared to work without restrictions. The bone is healed enough to start building up strength, so they put me on a resistance machine. There will be therapy putty and wrist rotations. A visiting physician from Thailand suggested I massage the scar area whenever possible, so I will do that too.
The catching pinches, what I think of as my trigger wrist, continue. Better X-ray shows the damage to the ulnar head, which rather explains it. I figured it had to be dislocated, given the visible external deformity. The damage will heal on its own, in time and as I continue to work on it.
Then I finished my work shift, no splint. Not really painful, so much as feeling rough and tired. Drove without it, and felt fine.
Giving myself this one day as respite, though. I've not missed a single therapy assignment in this ten weeks. Not entirely sure what I will need to keep doing every day, so I am taking a break and thinking it through.

Well done - your perseverance is obviously rewarding you. Very best wishes for a complete recovery.
There will be some Welsh poppies on their way to you soon. I should have collected them last week in glorious weather, but I was away then. It's pouring with rain now I'm back home so I'll wait until they are dry again.
RR,
Oh, Thank you! Looking forward to them. It's getting hot and dry here.
