Update:  I have had the plaster removed today and am pleasantly surprised. It really isn't too bad. No visible bruising except for a tiny bit at the base of the thumb which is tender to touch. I can still lift small things and turn a key in the door. Slight swelling around the wrist but can do most exercises tried so far with only  discomfort/twinges rather than pain . Keyboarding hurts slightly more than with plaster on. However i will have a rest from that for the next week due to short break from work.

That's good.  Have you exercises to do?

Mostly I have got them from the webpages of other hospitals. Have discussed 1 or 2 with the doctor and also with someone on another forum with similar fracture. She had the plaster changed to a removable splint earlier so is slightly ahead of me even though her accident was a few days after mine. I have a follow up appointment in 7 weeks which is optional  but i will probably attend to see what the doctor thinks of my progress.

Any aching is a warning and will limit lifting etc..

Katejo - It's good that your plaster is off and it's all gone well.

Don't worry as I am doing minimal lifting. No more than a mug of tea or small plate. Have just managed to iron a couple of items but without lifting. Just tip the iron up and slide across the surface.

Just about to put up the ironing board and get started. There are umpteen shirts waiting  ::)

Already ironed this morning at mothers , I'm a glutton for punishment


Glad the wrist is improving.
