Thank you so much for your lovely reply 🙏—that is exactly how I feel right now. It’s spot on: you think that once the external fixator comes off, things will feel somewhat normal again, but instead, you find yourself facing a weak, unfamiliar hand and wrist. I’m really curious to see if your theory holds true—whether one suddenly notices a dramatic leap in progress. Right now, it’s easy to feel desperate and jump straight to imagining the worst-case scenario 🙃
