    Healing toughts your way

    Like what others have said - do the physical therapy.
    It is quite important that your physio knows that you are a "rehabilitative type". I dunno how this phrase translates into English; but there is a recognition in the field of physical therapy that there are 2 kinds of patients. The ones who are out to maximise disability %-age and get back to the remote and those like your- and my-self who have to be restrained from doing themselves *more* damage by over-motivation.

    I feel like I get into this focussed and driven mental space/state when I am ill or injured. I have had quite a few times like this but didn't appreciate how effing crazy I am till they gave me steroids while I was on chemo and they had to reduce them to 50% of the usual dose because I was so "aggressive" and then finally had to give me tranks to stop me doing myself (or the walls!) a damage in my objectively seriously weakened and immuno-supressed condition.I mention this so that you can be aware of the fine line between motivation and a particular personal psychology and can manage the situation more appropriately than Yours Truly (who prob'ly distresses and worries those around her without realising it).

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Sending healing thoughts your way, for what it's worth. I'm sure the fractured wrist is no fun, but glad to hear you weren't hurt worse. I narrowly missed being injured by a car turning right in front of me about 10 years ago--the only thing that saved me was that I had just crossed an intersection and hadn't fully accelerated yet. Lady made a quick turn into a hot-dog joint because her kids yelled that they wanted hot dogs. Said she never saw me--big surprise.
