Went to the doctor for followup this week. If all goes well, I return in two weeks to have the pins and sutures removed. Then begins the rehab.

Last week, had a scary event. I had reached the point of being able to dress and buckle my belt. On Wed, I began having major pain in the entire forearm, radiating from the wrist as far as the lateral bicep. Dr. Rick instructed me to bedrest with the arm elevated. It worked. Not only did the pain ease, the edema in my calves and feet reduced.
