    This makes me wonder what mine looks like after I dropped a 4x4 on it last spring. The grip in my left hand has really not been good since then, and when it's cold outside it gets very hurty and pointy and swollen in the areas that got smashed, especially if I try to grip anything with it.

    But from what I understand, the "fix" for this is immobilization or surgery! Yours doesn't look very complicated - so just the cast to immobilize for a while, and then check in? What's the plan going forward?

    If you don't mind my asking - how did you break it? Forward force - like punching something - or did something drop on it?

            Hey, neighborliness with the folk in your local that are at least half-way on go is worth a smashed wrist to me at least. I'm just tryna figure out how you're typing with a wrist that look like that, are you just like-- one handing it or smth?
