"Castless For Christmas"

On September 16th of this year, I had a bad fall and broke the scaphoid bone of my right wrist. After getting it x-rayed, it was discovered that not only was the bone completely snapped in two, but it had already been broken the past six months.

I've had to have a million X-rays, and five casts. I've had to have a three-hour operation, a bone graft, and a screw put in my wrist. I've had to perform, write, live for three months (A QUARTER OF A YEAR!!!) with a cast of some sort holding my damaged hand together.

And now - finally - I'm castless. I got it removed today for the final time *touches wood* and now have a three-and-a-half inch purple scar going down my thumb and onto my arm.

It still feels very stiff, and I'm having trouble moving my thumb, but I'll be opening presents on Chrsitmas Day atleast with two good hands and a smile on my face (although I would've had the smile anyway).

I once had a 'Tuesday afternoon' one. And then a 'Tuesday evening' one.
And then a 'Tuesday night' one. Oh wai...

Also, when I said I wanted a blanket of white on Christmas morning, I didn't mean it like that.
