After a little convincing of the doctor, he decided that I didn't need a cast or a splint!! WOOO HOOOO! I have to do some excercises and be careful for a few more weeks. I go back in three weeks. Also, turns out I was also having an illergic reaction to the ceramic--good thing it's off or it would have been much worse!
Last night at WW I gained .4... I'd like to think that my cast weighed more than that and in reality I loss weight... if not, I"m a little irritated.
Last night the fact that my thumb was wrapped into the stupid cast was enough to cause tears and pleads to Dave to cut the plaster so my thumb could come out... he finally gave in (at 12:30 am) and I quickly became a happy woman! The pain of the broken bone was NOTHING in comparison to the thumb not being able to move and being stuck on my palm!
Tomorrow afternoon I have an ortho appointment and I'll find out how long I have to wear the cast, if I need another type, etc.
Happy Birthday Brendan Matthew Keys!
