Wrist Fusion Update

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

For anyone who's interested I'm struggling on one handed. The pain

has subsided to a normal ache which I can cope with (just). The

swelling has decreased dramatically and the bruising is all but

gone. I can almost make a fist but I have no strength at all. i

cannot even do up a zipper. The hospital are pleased with the

progress so far.

I didn't realise it would be so difficult afterwards and for so

long. I'm getting very frustrated but I guess I'm lucky in the fact

that it is only temporary, for now.

thanks to everyone for the mails of support and kindness.
