hiya, im about a month ahead of you leech. out of plaster/cast for about a week and movement is already massively improved

make sure you exercise your fingers/hand as much as you can, squeeze balls and the like

strength is already returning but it would be quite uncomfortable on a bike for a good few more weeks i think (ive done the other wrist a few years back)

i dont reckon i could hold down a handle pass yet :(

Thanks Jan, glad to hear you're healing well. I get the cast off next week.

Thinking about the possibility of getting a wrist brace so I can at least start riding to/from work again while the muscles restrengthen.

Is this a bad idea?

i suspect the first time you actually try it your going to realize u just physically cant do it and its going to take at least a couple weeks before u can even think of it.

there is *no way* i could put weight on my wrist riding a bike and i doubt this will change for at least 1-2 weeks

I got the cast off this morning! And I know what you mean, Jans. Would be too sore in the bike riding position.

Another three weeks off the water, doc says.

I'M GOING CRAZY!!!

Hang in there, it will be worth the wait. You dont want to stuff it right now by going too hard too soon
