| Bionic wrist bling |
Six weeks post surgery, Michelle's wrist is making good progress. Xrays show some pretty substantial bling in her left wrist...

| Side view shows the screws |
A fairly large metal plate and perhaps 7 screws.
Outside, the wrist is looking better. Physiotherapy and regular exercise has been improving wrist movement and strength, with a lot more (expected) to come.

| 6 weeks after surgery |
Far better than 12 days after surgery when the bandages were removed and staples taken out:

| 12 days after surgery, still with the staples. Looking pretty ugly! |
Michelle has received great medical, surgical and physiotherapy care here at Whistler (with actual surgery at Lion's Gate Hospital in North Vancouver). Final follow-up with orthopaedic surgeon earlier this week (her in Whistler) indicates wrist is progressing very well and increased exercises called for. (Skiing, however, would be best delayed for another few weeks.)
So, we have decided to head back to Nepal for a trek. Hopefully the various airport metal detectors have no issue with Michelle's new wrist bling!
