Pretty good Trade

Picture is of the cast I wore for about 6 weeks. They said the crack in my radius is better, but not totally healed. They just didn't want to keep the cast on too long..so they gave me a brace. The brace keeps my thumb straight which helps. I can take the brace off more easily than that cast. I never took the cast off because I was worried I couldn't get it back on correctly, and might wear out the velcro straps. The brace has velcro, but larger straps and really easy to take off so I can start doing those treatments I was SUPPOSED to already be doing. I just can't lift anything even with the brace on. Good thing Tom is home a lot now, and can cook as I can't lift pans and anything over 1lb. But tomorrow I will be able to take a shower without a plastic bag over my left arm. YAY! Had hamburgers for supper

Yay, a brace has to be more comfortable than the cast!

At least the cast is off and you are upgraded. A brace is a lot better. I hope you heal more faster.
