Everyone in case I don’t talk to or see anyone that right now before the holidays I wish you all a happy holiday, and a safe New Year!
UPDATE 12.24.24
I went to the surgeon right before I left for North Carolina this past weekend, and he was very pleased with the healing of my wrist, and his response was kind of funny I thought, but last time I was there, he said to go ahead and try playing the guitar and when I went to see the therapist, they said no! So this time the surgeon said he didn’t see any reason why I needed to wear my wrist splint anymore and I could just let life be my therapy and I could bypass going to my therapist for physical therapy so I had an appointment with them right after it I went and saw them and they went no! They said I could do exercises that moved my wrist up and down and as if I’m throwing a dart so just a little bit at an angle, but still forward and that’s to build the muscle in the arm, they don’t want me moving my wrist left and right whatsoever at this point and they shake their head whenever I tell them what the surgeon says. They both work for the same company so it’s just kind of funny so I tend to go with whatever the therapist says what is funny is the surgeon bought a guitar because of me and I’d given him the attack site and he basically has decided to go a different route, which is fine. He used to play guitar and I he said that I was truly inspired Thinks that I will go very far based on my attitude and how much faster I’ve healed the most of his patience so that made me feel good that I still won’t listen to. I’ll go to my therapy sessions, but I am doing exercises I did go through the airport. I’ve been wearing my wrist brace a lot Because I’m carrying luggage or doing things with other people outdoors and it just feels safer. I have not tried to play the guitar yet, but I’m flying home tonight or this morning actually and that’ll probably be one of the first things I do tomorrow afternoon is try to place something or make some chords. It was too painful Just goofing around a couple weeks ago with it so I’m not sure How far I’ll get? I’m very excited that I can kind of see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. It may be my next post will be about me playing actually I am gonna take it slow though I’ve lost all my calluses. Want to make any fast moves with my wrist because it is painful it turns a certain way and I’m not willing to damage my wrist in order just to get back to playing.
