I'm so sorry about your wrist! I know how the pain can be. I had surgery on my left wrist a few years ago and still have problems. I had cortisone and lidocaine injection in November in the same wrist.

I sincerely hope it's not as bad as the ER doc says. If you do need surgery, I hope it's something that'll be simple and won't have lasting effects.

Oh, so sorry to hear this news. We will pray that everything will go well and that you heal quickly.

I am now a fanatic about putting Safe Paws down on the walkway, driveway and front porch after taking a very bad fall off the front porch last year. I even put it down when it rains because I am petrified that it will turn to ice.

Best regards to you and good luck with the surgery.

patty58 · 01-27-2008, 03:39 PM

I am so sorry to hear that. My prayer is that your surgery will go well and you will heal quickly.

Boosted Panda · 01-27-2008, 03:40 PM

You'll want to do the surgery. The healing time is much much faster and less painful. Good luck!!!! You'll be good rub some dirt on it

chattiesmom · 01-27-2008, 03:46 PM

Oh no!!!!!! I am so sorry!!!!! I can feel your pain, truly I can! I shattered my leg just above my ankle -- emergency surgery! Do you have someone who can babysit your furbutts? You don't have much time as far as the surgery is concerned.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.....

yorkiecrazy · 01-27-2008, 04:01 PM

Ouch !! I did that years ago and didn't have surgery - I had the doctor just set it and I've had problems with that wrist my whole life - better to get it over with if you have fragments - I did the cortizone etc and it never really helped - GOOD luck !!
