So, I was putting up Halloween decorations and fell off a 2-step step ladder and broke my right wrist in a weird way. My wrist almost looked like a swans neck because of the way it broke. So, this is going to suck because I may not be able to drive my car (now that I finally have a stick shift.......)

Wishing you a speedy recovery. But you can still drive stick with one hand. It will just be a slower shift.~Nick~

I hope you heal up quickly!~Nick~

Take care of that wrist from now on, i have what is known as a boxer's fracture on my right hand and although it still functions fine, the right touch in the right angle will make me scream in pain. And your post reminded me i have to check my christmas lights before hanging them. Good luck to youLast edited by Crankshaft; 10-30-2017, 06:35 PM.
