    Par for the course

    So whilst in the middle of cooking the daily bacon/crumpet/hashbrown/artery-killing morning feast, I hear a funny noise. I turn around to find a female nagging. I don't know why, I think it comes with the chromosomes. Nonetheless, I take pity and engage the ears.

    Apparently she's worried about the way my swollen wrist hasn't gone down. Rubbish, my good lady I say, it's just a flesh wound! However she persists, until she pulls out her ace, and threatens to remove my pantry-grazing privileges. Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I'm half a kilo away from walking around desert tombs in bandages and attacking archaeologists at the best of times, so this presents a real problem for me. So I reluctantly hop on my trusty steed and rock on down to the A&E.

    "Sir, the Xray shows you've broken the s-something or another - did this happen today?"
    "Nah mate, Friday morning."
    "Didn't you notice earlier?"
    "Not really - thought it was a bruise."

    So they throw a cast over my right arm/wrist and I tootle on home.

    I was hardly surprised - as I've got surgery booked in for Thursday to remove all the metalwork and most of the scar tissue out of my left elbow, doing my right arm in really seemed to be about par for the course.

    Here's hoping I have two functioning arms again soon!

    I hope said Nagging female will "look after you" now that both hands are out of action, or are you adept at using your feet?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Crikey, someone who knows what they're talking about. What the hell are you doing on KB!

    But yes, that sounds like the culprit - no idea what it does or how long it takes to heal or anything. I suppose for the amount I paid, I should really have listened to the sawbones. :slap:

    Blimey, what a shocker....

    On a brighter and slightly experimental note, that is a rather evil little break that could render your wrist numb as soon as the cast is off.

    My tip is to make use of this numbness. As soon as they whip the cast off, whip out your pudding and give it a pull. Your wrist will be numb so it will feel that someone else is doing it.

    Trust me, I am a wanker from way back.....I got caught by the rozzers having a 5 knuckle shuffle at the bus stop when I was 14, never looked back really....I mean, why put a full size poster of Farah Fawcett Majors at a bus stop where adolescent teens hang out, we are bound to do the 5 digit thumper if that is on show, eh boys.....boys......hello...anyone there.....

    Get well soon matey potatey

    Not according to Mr Wiki...

    Fortunately, it is relatively difficult to break, but is the most commonly fractured bone in the carpus, particularly because of its unique anatomy and position within the wrist.
