not where I'd thought I'd be in life

Where did you get 6 months? People who break their wrists spend six weeks in a cast, then a few weeks in rehab.

I broke my wrist when I was 14. I survived. I'm right-handed, and I broke my right wrist.

You can probably work with Nautilus-type weights: free weights might be more dangerous. Take the advice of your orthopedist.

You can do cardiovascular workouts. And work out your lower body.

There is no reason for despair. I know it's a pain in the butt.

There's no reason for doom and gloom.

Yeah, just enjoy a perpetually single life. Remember that you are a tiny minority, and even f*****g nazis were able to get partners, but not you. Just sit back and smile as all your friends and family end up married whilst you're still utterly ignored by the opposite gender. Try not to think about how horrifically awful your looks and personality must be to end up in such a position, just smile and enjoy your f*****g hobbies.

Don't see anything wrong here.

Not just broken, but dislocated as well.

I had surgery the other day and now have a metal plate in my wrist along with a cast to boot.

In about 2 weeks I should be able to take the cast off and I can even do some low-risk daily life activities with my right hand now, for example I can type with two hands again.

I'm looking forward to when these 2 weeks are up, because today was a very rough day emotionally for me.

After these two weeks my life should be pretty much back to normal again except I can't exercise.

Maybe in 4-8 weeks time I can start doing cardio activity again and light intensity bike rides.

According to the doctor, about 3 months minimum until I can lift heavy weights and do bodyweight exercises again like parkour, but more than likely 4-6 months.

I prefer to think the most latest possible healing time so I don't end up disappointed. So 6-8 months it is.

If you want me to think positive, I'm not sure if the 4-6 months is for EVERYONE or just for me, i.e. because I'm young it should heal faster, so if the 4-6 months is for anyone, young or old, then maybe it'll only take 4 months.

Anyway, I think we should get back to the original topic.

How's things going, Sly?

Most wrist fractures are accompanied by dislocations.

Mine was a fracture-dislocation, too.

I was in a cast 6 weeks, then I had rehabilitation.

I recovered.

And you will, too.

Just do the rehab properly.

And make sure you have a coat hanger to scratch the itch LOL

I've never broken any bones or had any serious injury

Don't sound so disappointed
