I went down while shoveling snow on my deck in a T-shirt, shorts and sneakers in December of 2020. It was supposed to be a quick 10 minute job after getting off the treadmill. My shovel went forward and my feet went backward on a patch that was more slippery than I realized. I knew I broke my wrist too because I was immediately nauseous. I laid in the snow in summer clothes for a few minutes to make the sweats and the urge to vomit go away. I had a continuation of an online bridge tournament game within an hour so I played in that first then got a ride to the hospital a few hours later. I know EXACTLY what you felt, but mine was a very clean break and I ended up cutting the bright pink cast off after two weeks because it was too hot and interfered with life. It has healed beautifully and had no lasting impact on my golf game, which was my biggest concern. Yours was a much more serious break. Condolences, my friend.
Here’s a broken wrist story (no, not me)
In late 90’s I bowled in a very competitive ladies travel league. These are experienced, good bowlers - 160, 170, 180 averages. One morning gal bowling a few lanes over from my team had a freak occurrence.
She picked up the ball, got set and went into her approach to delivery as usual. But, at time of release at the foul line her fingers did not come out of the ball and she was carried forward onto the oiled part of the lane, fingers still in the ball. She fell — fingers had released from ball but had broken her wrist when she fell. She screamed but able to get up. But, remember she is now out about 8 feet or so from foul line onto the oiled part of the lane. She stands, unsteady, slips and goes down again — breaking the other wrist. She didn’t get up this time and ambulance called. All happened in about 10-15 seconds.
