I will see the physio tomorrow but the plan will be to restart the muscle rehab and wait to see what the x-ray shows in a couple of months.

I should put in the good news that my arm is working fine. I was originally having the occasional ache, but actually less than the left, and a lack of grip strength in both hands but now it seems to have settled. I have some loss of skin sensation above my wrist on the outside but no other issues.
Wow! You've really been through a lot.
I'm glad to hear that you are keeping a good attitude and working through the healing process. It sounds like you are progressing and on the way to recovery.

I wish you the best, and believe that your attitude will carry you through this long drawn out process of getting back on your feet and hopefully riding again before long.
Cheers!

Jim
