So the past week has been a good news bad news story. Last Monday we saw our 3rd ortho trying to figure out the wrist pain that has had ds (16) off his left wrist totally for the past 5 months. (Modified training for dec and jan, and No apparatus work whatsoever since the last weekend in January.) Good news is this doc listened a little more and dug a little deeper and we know what he's done to the wrist. It is a surgical fix- and ds confirmed with ortho that it should be good to train on after. Ortho wants 2 tests done then we will schedule surgery. Ds was thrilled. Until we got date back on the contrast mri. It's 3 months out. Then talked to ortho office about surgery dates. They are booking 8- 11 months out, and won't book the date until after the mri. So a minimum of another 11 months plus rehab. Plus the 5 he's already been out means about a year and half with no skill work. I'm thinking that's just too long to get back into it.
His goal was always figure out the wrist- get back in the gym, get back to full training and then make a choice. It sucks that wait times (both to get to this point and to go forward) are going to be the deciding factor!
Also sucks that it is going to be another 16 months plus of not being able to open doorknobs, do up buttons, ride a bike, paddle a canoe, spot kids while he coaches, type with both hands, and so many other things too.
So sad right now!
