Apparently I am a slow learner

After breaking my face and wrist in September, I took the cast off my wrist early and the docs said it looked good and I resumed my daily life of "overdoing it".  Though I have been dealing with the pain of a very very sore wrist for the last 6 months, i realized it had become too much when I nearly passed out in screaming pain after a bad bounce-back while demoing a short stone wall on Thursday.  Once lucid, I made an appointment with my doctor to have this wrist looked at again.

now, my repeatedly re-injured wrist is back in a cast.  The doctor wants it on 6 weeks, then possibly another 6 after that if i have not been kind enough to the wrist.  I wont be getting it wet this time (learned something from last time) so no kayaking for 6 weeks.   

but I think I can still fish   

That sucks! Stop and smell the roses for six weeks Bro.

I'll let you know when I take out the power boat
Do you think that cast is thick enough to mount a Scotty pole holder to it??!?!?

+2 on that Jim, by the sounds of it...you'll be ready to go by SS2..take it easy good friend.

If it's the "navicular", a peanut shaped bone at the base of the thumb, I know what you're going through.  I broke mine 12 years ago next month and was incredulous when the first doc I saw said I need a "thumb-spica" cast for 6 weeks and then another shorter cast for another 6 weeks.  It's no joke - if that bone doesn't heal properly you'll be disabled to some extent.  Take care of it, Jim, and get it well for GS6.

To close to the water and I don't want to catch hell from his Prego wife (congrat's again by the way) I also don't have a tandem in my fleet

You guys dont know what you are talking about. Cast and fishing go hand in hand! Last I checked James, the good lord blessed you with a spare hand!

lol, thanks guys

The Scaphoid is what I damaged, it looks like i broke it 3 or 4 weeks ago...but it was on Sept 2 last year, no good 

I learned to flyfish at 14 after an incident with the washing machine tried to twist my arm off but only managed to rupture 8 inches of my left humerus.  4 months in a whole arm cast. but I had thumb and finger action, so I could grip fly line but not turn a reel handle...

and sadly I have already started making temporary modifications to reel handles so I can grip them with my index finder and the thumb spica   

and we are leaving on vacation for Missouri on Thursday and laready have 5 days of fishing and boating planned, but mom was bummed I wont be kayaking with her, lol.  I guess she will just have to share space on the crestliner 

Check it out once the implant heals in, I won't need to "carry"a cell phone, GPS, or flashlight ever again.  Sweet

Jim that is one weird looking cast! Get well soon man. jim

I hope it heals well Jim! Let it rest dude. Only when you are old like me time is running out. You have a long way to go.

Take it easy Jim and get 100 percent! Nothing really biting worth a damn on the AR right now anyways. 

Get caught up on the tv shows! Start watching Glee from season 1.   Hahaha
