Nine days from now (on November 18) I'm getting surgery for a "open reduction internal fixation of right scaphoid fracture". They're going to make an incision in my wrist and then install a permanent titanium screw that will hold the two fragments of my scaphoid bone together.
In the meantime, my splint has been upgraded to a bigger and more solid splint that immobilizes most of my right arm below the elbow. I'm told that the expected prognosis after surgery is that I'll have to wear a splint full time for a week after the procedure, and then a splint part time for a week after that. I'll also have to do physical therapy afterwards to (hopefully) regain full mobility and strength in my hand.
Fun times ahead.
