Family was enjoying a weekend snowboarding on the meager snowpack (Tahoe) this weekend when the inevitable happened - 10 year old DD loses it near the end of a run and breaks her fall with an outstretched right (throwing) arm. Yup - broken wrist (Distal Radial fracture - non-displaced). Currently in a splint, and making the ortho appointments, but was wondering if anyone could share their experience with recovery time, what works for rehab, etc. Yes, we understand that everyone heals differently, and we'll let the doctor (and DD's comfort level) dictate how we proceed. But this is definitely going to put a huge crimp in the transition from being a bowler/pusher to I/R (which we had been working on over the previous months).
Also looking for suggestions on other things to work on while she doesn't have full use of her right hand.
- Bunting drills (in a few weeks after she's comfortable)?
- Help at practice catching for infield practice
- Ball spins (assuming her fingers aren't totally immobilized in the cast)
She's disappointed, as the 1st TB tourney of the season is scheduled for March 1, and obviously she's not going to be playing..... so she's looking for ways to stay involved and ways to improve.
