A quick healing of a fractured wrist
Originally appeared online in the teen series Your Healings - February 22, 2022.
A few hours later, I found myself at a medical clinic, where a doctor was explaining to me that I had fractured my wrist. He said that in order for it to heal I would need to wear a cast for about six weeks—meaning I would miss the rest of the basketball season and have to take my final exams left-handed.
I was surprised, and after hearing his assessment, had a lot of negative thoughts—like that my basketball season was over and that I wouldn’t perform well on my finals because I couldn’t write. I also had to decide what care to accept for my wrist. While the doctor had recommended a hard cast, he was also willing to let me use just a temporary sling.
