Owwie! If you wanted to know how hard a concrete pad is, you could have
just asked Charlie. Testing wasn't necessary. Sounds like you did to your
wrist about what he did to his heel.

All those nerves that help to protect our hands are not you friend right
now. I have some idea what you have been through in the past and I believe
you when you say this hurt more!

Just remember to take the pain meds on schedule. Don't try to wean off them
too soon.

Hope you have the best surgeon in the world.
