« I Went To Utah And All I Got Was This Stupid Ambidexterity | Main | Dirty, And Not In The Xtina Assless Chaps Way »

Greetings! From Distal Radius, MA

I just returned from my local follow-up x-rays for the wrist and all seems well. The set that the U(niversity) of U(tah) emergency clinic doctors did apparently held through 1 hot-tubbing, 2 days of vacation sightseeing, 3 cancelled flights and 7 nights of vicodin-induced slumber. Now I am sporting a vibrant red cast which resembles a Valentine gummy heart that someone chewed, then hawked out the side of his/her mouth. How appropriate.

The cast will be on for 6-8 wks, with x-rays every 7 days to monitor that nothing is "moving around all funny" (the doctor's words, not mine)...basically until I leave for Italy. Now, excuse me while I step away to elevate, take a nap and watch (prepare for the irony) "Bend It Like Beckham."

Below, before-and-after x-rays from Utah. Notice the change in the overall position/angle of my bones based on putting my fingers in a medieval hangy thing with 135lbs of weights strapped around my upper arm.

Nice choice on the RED cast. It is an excellent accent color.

Bones are so weird. We're warm and gooey flesh donuts with a hard crunchy center!

Glad your crunch center set well.

those are some seriously bad-ass xrays, blogorelli! Good work!

wow! that's so cool!!! the xrays and the cast I mean...not that you're in pain..and that you broke your wrist. sorry...I never broke a bone when I was a kid and I guess I still have some left-over "cast envy"!!!

you'll have to post some pics of that cast soon! (wish I could be there to sign it!)
