Day 34 - Attempt to Drive

We have a manual transmission car so I hadn't tried driving with the broken right wrist.  Decided to give it a try today.  Couldn't turn the key in the ignition. Well left hand can do that.  Shift to first manageable.  Shift to backup not manageable.  Well left hand can do that. Other gears were okay.  Progress.

Tried a listerine poultice the other day to reduce swelling.  It seemed to work but was a bit rough on the palm of the hand.  Don't think I'll do it every night.  And I'll try to avoid getting the liquid on the palm of the hand in the future.
