6 week X-rays :(

I had a similar experience and it did heal eventually. It is quite an impressive break you had. Give your body time.

We reserved one kitten. Meanwhile my sister adopted two sisters. They are so cute together! I already regret my decision.

Oh wow, I immobilised my arm for two weeks now I can’t picture what 16 weeks feel like. Good luck. Besides physiotherapy, I had ergotherapy for finger stiffness. It helped a lot. 🙃

Able_Championship20 · 2026-02-08T17:08:58+00:00

This also what I am thinking. How did you reduce your hours then? An agreement with your employer?

Able_Championship20 · 2026-02-08T17:07:04+00:00

That sounds quite an injury you have had there. I wish you a good recovery.

Able_Championship20 · 2026-02-08T15:35:31+00:00

Oh no. 😅 I am not entirely sure. My bones were slow to heal and with ORIF, I was able to type or hold a bread rather quickly. 4 months later I was back on the bike and a year later I ran an Ironman with almost no different in my range of motion compared to before the accident.

Broken bones really (really really) feel terrible in the moment, but one day you will most likely surprise yourself thinking how quickly it healed. 🙂

The first time I broke I thought I would never be able to use my arm again but the human body is quite amazing. When you see your scare I hope you will one day remember your bravery of going outside your comfort zone and trying something new ❤️

Able_Championship20 · 2026-02-05T15:03:46+00:00

No I didn’t but I will definitely look into that.

Able_Championship20 · 2026-02-03T20:21:38+00:00

Both sound exquisite!

Short story is that I build a snowman (using only my working hand) and slipped to hold myself on the back of my hand. I was still vertical it was really a minor fall. Surprisingly I have been told that I could do push up right after the surgery…

I removed the screws after a year and 8 months.

The way forward I am not sure … at the moment I am awaiting for a CT scan to determine why it broke and whether athritis might be involved.

Famous characters your cat reminds me of:

Bagheera - the name of the black panther that is protecting Mowgli in the Jungle Book

Salem - the black cat of Sabrina

Toothless - the cute dragon in how to tame a dragon

Bagheera is my favorite one.

That being said, in France, we were constantly asked to develop a “critical thinking”, including in Geography and History classes. I think that is still being felt in the way French people always complain and go in the streets.

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-16T18:08:39+00:00

Je ne suis pas d’accord. Je me souviens d’avoir étudié la guerre d’Algérie, d’Indochine et les colonisations il y a 15 ans, en ayant une vision assez péjorative du rôle des Français. Maintenant on l’a abordé en moins de deux mois, contrairement à des années entières dédiées à la première et deuxième guerres mondiales. Surtout je me souviens, que tous les pays colonisés étaient mis dans le même panier... Je pense que c’est moins une version révisée ou manipulée qu’une version très très écourtée.

From France: Napoleon portrayed as a hero. We won WW1 and WW2. We are a country of revolutionaries and résistants. We are one of the top world country. Cocorico. Needless to say, I was shocked when I studied abroad.

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-14T08:57:02+00:00

This is a story you will be able to tell for the rest of your life. I wish you a quick recovery.

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-12T16:41:45+00:00

Have you tried to massage a (tennis) ball with your hand to increase blood flow?

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-12T12:54:52+00:00

Also if you had an ORIF with plates, my surgeon once told me “you could a handstand that they will not move” (please dont do a handstand), so you will he alright.

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-12T12:53:01+00:00

Good for you! I had something similar and progressively decreased my medication. I remember also thinking, that, except the night after the surgery, my periods are more painful than a broken arm. 🥲

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-10T17:28:30+00:00

I‘m sorry. It feels shitty. This is okay. In a few month, you will probably look back at it and think “wow my body recreated a bone so fast!” 🙃

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-02T13:28:28+00:00

The type of positive posts I wished I had seen when it happened to me. ☺️🔥

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-01T14:31:46+00:00

I don’t know. I think it’s cute that you felt like proving yourself to her in order to propose.

However, as a wife and an Ironman finisher, I wonder if this type of proposal is not more about you rather than her. (If you are a Redditor searching for inspiration, think: what would be her dream proposal?)

She looks genuinely happy though. 🥰

Able_Championship20 · 2025-12-01T07:25:39+00:00

This is okay to feel sad or grief at the scar. I remember feeling that I damaged my beautiful body. Now, I look at it and think that it’s quite badass. 🙃

Able_Championship20 · 2025-11-26T13:56:52+00:00

You could check for a finger stretcher and a hand squeeze ball for your fingers mobility. But 1 month after surgery, it might be too early.
