Saturday 1pm - After fall at White Bear Lake I cry out, "Well, at least I didn't break anything!"
Saturday 2pm - Starting to hurt
Saturday 3pm - Hurting quite a bit
Saturday 4pm - Decide to go to urgent care
Saturday 7pm - Leaving urgent care still uncertain of whether or not it's broken … looks like a chip fracture of the triquetal although it could be just a badly torn ligament
Sunday - do nothing all day
Monday - find an orthopedic specialist downtown Minneapolis to avoid going across town to the one urgent care was going to send me to on Friday morning
Tuesday - pick up X-rays from urgent care
Wednesday - go to orthopedic specialist in Minneapolis who tells me the same thing I heard Saturday
Thursday - go for MRI of the wrist so he can see the ligament
Friday - work from home because office is closed due to blizzard…sure am glad I didn't keep that appointment across town this morning
Upcoming:
Monday - follow up to discuss MRI results
By the time they decide how to treat the problem the wrist may have healed on its own
Point of interest: Heard the word "shattered" when the Dr was looking over the 2010 break info. That might explain why I was fairly crippled four years ago compared with this week. Also, the triquetal was not involved in the 2010 break, so at least I'm not repeatedly picking the same bone ;-)

Yikes. Glad it seems to be considerably less awful than the 2010 event.
Yes. Very considerably less awful than 2010. Thanks!
