I would like to provide an update on my arm and wrist injury. After consulting with an orthopedic specialist on two occasions, undergoing multiple X-rays, and a CT scan, it has been concluded that the injury will not heal correctly without surgical intervention. The injury involves a shattered and displaced radius, as well as shattered and displaced wrist bones. Additionally, there is damage to the ligaments and tendons. The treatment plan proposed by my doctor involves surgically installing a plate in my wrist, accompanied by either a plate with screws or pins for the radius. While I am not enthusiastic about undergoing surgery, I am eager to move forward with the procedure, as the pain caused by the injury not being properly set and healed has been excruciating. My ultimate goal is to recover and return to work as swiftly as possible, with the hope of still achieving some of my objectives with Hope this summer.
