Finally proving that I am the ultimate klutz, I managed to break my wrist at a physical therapy session for a leg injury. So, I'm in a cast and out of the pool, I would guess, for at least the next 4-6 weeks.
Anyone else return from a broken wrist/hand injury? Any words of wisdom? And yes I know, follow doctors instructions.

Luckily the fractures are not disoplaced much and the doc expeccts them to heal well with out surgery. I sure hope thats the case.
The PT place i was going to is multidiscplinary and my doc there initially wrote me a Rx for one of the plastic/velcro splints you descrbed. That doc is a lower extremity specialist however and the hand doc said the splint wasn't supportive enough. I hope that I'll be able to transition back to that one though after I get the fiberglass one off. If they want me to stay in a cast at my June follow up, I'm going to certainly ask about the goretex liner another poster mentioned.
Thanks to all for the advice and success stories. Its helpful to hear that there is hope to getting back in the pool.
