On a personal note, yesterday I did undergo surgery to fix a fractured wrist. My fracture was rare and as a result a metal plate had to be put in my arm that will be permanent, upside is faster recovery, no cast, since it didn’t impact my wrist joint or growth plates. My Dr. thinks there should be minimal after effects later on. Have a follow-up 1 week after surgery with a hand ortho in Arizona. No cast needed and should be back to normal in 2-4 weeks. Bear with me posting wise, will try to keep it on a regular pattern the best I can.

Thanks

James
