I "May" be Tri-ing Again Soon (a wrist update)

I went back to the Dr. today for a follow-up on my broken wrist.  After my stint as a Google MD I have to admit, I was pretty certain I'd end up needing to have surgery to remove the bone fragment (a 50% chance of it not healing was pretty high).

I was and am continuing to have pain in my wrist and hand, so again I was certain that was from the bone not healing....but not so!

I got great news today and I couldn't be happier!  My bone is healed.  The pain I'm continuing to have is from the wrist sprain.  The MRI I had a few weeks ago revealed that along with the broken bone there was still significant swelling in the carpal tunnel area from the fall.

So, my new plan of action is a short dose of steroids (ugh) and occupational therapy.  She says I should be good as new in a few weeks!!! 

I am missing my first scheduled tri of the season on Sat, and I'm still doubtful for my 2nd on June 30....but I'm at least maybe hopeful. 

Bad part is I'm out of town next week, so probably won't actually be able to start therapy for another week and a half.

I know it will still take some time to get back to 100%, but I'm just happy to finally be moving in that direction.  I just need to remember to take it easy...I don't want set backs!  At a minimum I have my third planned tri at the end of July and I would REALLY like to be able to do that one, and think that really shouldn't be a problem.

Woot!  Woot!!!!!!!!!  Happy Dance!!

Hopefully this will be me again soon :)
