Broken bones...

them 6 weeks to heal in a cast.>

I broke my wrist on 1st Dec last year (one radius break, two others
cracked) due to a bad fall on ice - and started trimming the cast after
a few days, wanting to use my fingers to finish knitting Xmas gifts I
was working on, in time to mail them for Xmas. I trimmed the front opf
the cast back right away for this, and shortened it where it was
interfering with my elbow.
I trimmed more of the cast off almost daily, also cutting the top
off so just the support bottom was there plus an ace bandage after a
couple days, as the full cast restricted my movement of fingers somehow.
Can't remember how long I used any support, certainly not more than
2 or 3 weeks rather than the 6 weeks instructed with full cast to the
elbow. Anyway - all the knitting was completed a week before Xmas - 8
items though it was really slow the first week.
I am quite sure that knitting was happening more than just on the
needles thanks in part to the area having some motion but also some
support - and thanks in part to the symphytum, arnica, rhus-t and Ruta,
all 30C. (It was badly sprained as well.) I just tossed a little of each
in some water, succussed and sipped as needed. It was obvious to me that
the bones knitted first and fast; it was a bit longer to get full
healing in bent or twisted-wrist positions.
Lizards are scarce here - maybe geckos?
Namaste,
Irene

I have to wonder about the mitigating circumstances. I'm assuming
that the patient was in the bush and free from 21st century toxins.
He could have an excellent diet and be in excellent shape. Also his
head isn't stuck to a microwave cell phone. He doesn't spend too much
time at a computer. And doesn't cook by a microwave. Etc.

Also was the bone really broken? Obviously there were no xrays.

Interesting,
