radius distal fracture

If you've known me for some time, then you know I'm a workout fanatic.

I've been part of a women's fitness group here in Richmond that does small group training for over a year now. I've had a chance to meet some great ladies and have made friendship's that I wouldn't normally have made at a regular gym.
Anywho, I work out at 6am Monday, Weds and Friday every week. I'm not a morning person at all either, but when I workout, I go 110%.
I do this to not only lead the way for the newer members, but I push myself cause I have seen substantial results, and want to keep them coming!

Last Friday, May 27th, I tripped myself up during our workout, went to catch myself and broke my wrist.
I landed so hard with the momentum that I had that I crushed the bone in my wrist and when I looked down after the "crack" sound, my wrist was noticeably out of place.

It was gross. And yes, I popped my wrist back in to place (my adrenaline was  pumping, so it didnt hurt)



Here I am in the ER with pain meds flowing
and a disfigured wrist under the ice pack.


I went to the ER and long story short, I had a plate put in my wrist on Wednesday and have been out of work for 7 days total now.

It's far from fun learning to be a lefty, but it could always be worse I guess.





This is the plate they put in my wrist.
It is the right wrist however, this is the left pictured.



I hope to get back to semi-normal once my bandages come off on Wednesday and I receive my Velcro wrist splint that will help me get used to my new metal hardware I acquired.





The pitbull enjoys my company at the house since I haven't been to work.



I can't wait to get back to normal. I've waited all year to put on a bikini and show off what I've been doing all winter before the sun had even risen on most people's days!

Here's to a speedy recovery, good thing I drink milk like it's going out of style. I'll be back to 110% in no time!
