Well I got my cast off on Thursday and had an appointment with a hand physiotherapist today. She agrees that although it didn't show up on film it's all too likely that it was a scaphoid fracture. Still really intense point tenderness over the actual bone. I've a brace to wear for 2 weeks. But....

went for a ride on Sunday. Didnt tell DH I still had suspicions about it as just really really wanted to ride and then re-assess if it hurt. I did about 55k & 3 big hills. Was nervous abouut climbing out of the saddle as that wasn't pleasant in spin classes. Was OK.

Cannot highly enough recommend spin classes if you are off the bike. I climbed better than I did before the fall & could have ridden further, but had agreed to not do whole ride.

Now 2 more rides this week & a week skiing for the school holidays next week should bring me back up to my required speed thrills before I return to work!
