Went to the fracture clinic this morning, saw the x-rays - the break is diagonally across the ball, but it's only slightly displaced. They reckon I'll be able to get back to physio on the arm in about 3 weeks. I'll just have to concentrate on the hand until then - just have to find one of my favourite squeezable objects - oh good Linda's just got back from work - that gives me choice of two . . . .
