3 Week Doctor Visit
Went to see the doc again this morning for a progress update.
X-rays were taken by the PA and everything is coming along just fine. No more compression bandage needed. Didn't get a new copy of the x-rays as they looked pretty much the same as before.
My wrist movement was measured too - 45 degrees in both directions, which I'm told is good for three weeks post op. I have exercises to do to try and get that up to 60 degrees by the next visit in 4 weeks time. If I manage it, there's a good chance I won't need physical therapy, so that's reason enough right there to be diligent with the exercises.
I will be wearing the big brace for 8 weeks total (apart from when I'm doing the exercises).
