healing well

i had my check-up this afternoon and the wrist was exrayed...it's healing well.  they removed the plaster cast to replace it with a lighter weight fibreglass one and i got a look at my arm and incision.  the wrist is straight now but there is a wire protruding from it.  i'd been told prior to surgery that they might need to use screws or wires but it had been covered over with the previous cast so i didn't know it was there.  i asked how painful it would be to remove later on and was PROMISED that i'd hardly feel it.  we'll see.

the new cast will be removed on oct. 18th and i'll buy a removable wrist support from the hospital.  the timing of all this is pretty good and i phoned donna as soon as i got home for her to go ahead and buy her return plane ticket from florida.  she's driving down with me and we were concerned that the wrist might hold us up.  sometimes things do work out well.
