I now am the proud "owner" of a shoulder-height bright blue cast that has to stay 4 weeks with an additional 2 weeks in a shorter cast. And hopefully this will be all that's needed - the doctor did mention surgery but said this should be enough. Apparently the wrist wasn't terribly out of line - thank God - because the setting was horrible as was the numbing beforehand!
Oh well - one day at a time!

That just had to hurt like the dickens! Ouch! I can't imagine the break itself, but then they have to set it. I think I might pass out from it all.
I see you're still typing..getting better with the left hand or just taking a long time?
No you wouldn't pass out - just hyperventilate!!
