MartyD, this thread is a little old, but wanted to say, I feel your pain. I just broke both wrists 2 weeks ago while playing tag with my grandson on hard packed beach sand. Was running backwards and over balanced. I'm officially old, I guess. (59 in july)
Just had them put back together last Friday with plates and screws. Cant even use my beautiful pool till mid sept. Lucky for me I have 1 daughter in the house and the other across the street who is already used to taking care of a child. ?
Thank goodness for TFP, all I can do is read and 2 finger type!
