Looking for solutions when you have broken your wrist

it's true but we still need to be very careful, or we can (and do) hurt ourselves more, in an additional way.
I found this out, several times!

I also learned to let more stuff go undone, rather than to have myself get in worse condition, and able to do even less.
So leave some stuff, if you might injure yourself trying. I know it's rough.
 

Good luck with your PT. Once the cast is off it will feel very weak but with therapy you will be surprised how quick strength will return.
A few years back I dislocated my knee. I was on crutches but within a matter of a couple of weeks I could walk on my own. It did take longer to get the strength back though. Be patient.
 
If there's things you have a lot of trouble doing with one hand like opening drink bottles or certain meds perhaps the person who comes to check on you could open things for you.
