fractured my left wrist on sat night while doing guard duty. it was raining and the ground was slippery. was walking back to guardroom and slipped on one of the metal drain cover. stuck out my left hand (wrong thing to do) and fell very hard on it. heard a loud crack sound and thought that something broke. was just the sound of the walkie talkie coming apart into 2 pieces. (don't worry, it works fine).
i immediately tried to flex my wrist. can move leh, means nothing broken or dislocated right? or so i thought.. it was damn pain initially.. hard to describe.. just.. breathtaking. haha. a different kind of pain took over after abt 5 mins and the swelling started. it swelled at the point where the wrist bone is and the wrist sort of slant to the left. cannot straighten no matter wad i tried.. at that time still thought it was just a bad sprain. morning after fall out go see chinese doc for a rub can le.. it din get any better though the guys did bring some ice for me to put on the injured part. had alot of problems wearing my shirt and LBV.
din alert the DO as we were 1 man down and i did not think this was so serious. its not the right thing to do in theory but it made the most sense to me. ah well.. managed to make it through guard duty and went to changi hospital in uniform to see the doc.
took x-rays and doc said that i had a wrist fracture. gave me 8 dyas mc till 9th and arranged for me to see the specialist today.
was very difficult to adapt to working with 1 hand and having the other hurt from time to time. its definitely not the easiest way to keng mc. googled my diagnosis and this is wad i got..
distal radius intraarticular fracture or simply a broken wrist. dunno wads the difference between broken and fractured. this was 'upgraded' to comminuted distal radius intraarticular fracture today as the bone din just break. it broke into 3 or 4 little pieces each with its own fracture. so now instead of 1, i have abt 4 pieces of bone to heal. according to doc, if the bones remain where they are, i wont have to go for surgery. if they shift, then bye bye to me. haha. in any case, i'll be out of action for at least 6 weeks to 12 weeks depending on how fast the bones heal.
for now, my mc was just extended to 11th pending another review and x-ray next wed. for sure i'll down pes and may lose my combat vocation. but how low i'll go depends on the medical board. and there's my work too. someone will have to take over me and my guess is that the said person won't be too pleased.
