It didn't look too threatening, but on the way back home I fell on the ice. My wrist was obviously broken and my cheek was numb ( and broken). We had a trip to the emergency room on Saturday, then surgeries on Wednesday and Friday for wrist and cheek repair. Toby, my personal nurse, took great care of me.
After a couple weeks, the splints were removed and I was fitted with a removable brace and sent to occupational therapy 3 times per week. Here is "the claw" just after the splints were removed, all leathery and bruised and stiff.
Therapy is now complete and I have returned to normal activities. I certainly learned many things from my injuries and am grateful for healing and a wonderful husband to help me through all of it.
