Sorry to hear this, and hope you feel better soon.

it might be a good idea to get that wrist checked out, in case you have a fracture.

I'm sorry to hear about your fall. As well as having your injuries looked at you should discuss the fact that you were dizzy with your doctor.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hi,

i am very sorry to hear about your wrist.
Hopefully once it is properly set it will be less painful.

keep an eye on your carb intake and your blood glucose should go back to its usual levels once the pain and stress goes away.

have a hug.

Hi. When I needed something to keep a covering on my ankle dry, the doctor suggested I buy a cover from these people:

https://www.seal-tight.co.uk

Some of their products are sold on Amazon too, so it might be worth comparing prices. I found it worked well.

When my father needed a cast cover, we taped a plastic shopping bag over his arm up to the elbow. :D

shopping bags are harder to come by nowadays, but a bin liner of the right size would do just as well, and you can even get biodegradable ones now. :)
