Ananya Davis, a 28-year-old elementary school...
Ananya Davis, a 28-year-old elementary school art teacher, slipped on a freshly mopped floor at school while carrying a box of clay. She felt immediate, sharp pain in her right wrist and heard a distinct 'pop'. An X-ray in the ER confirmed a Colles' fracture of her distal radius. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended a closed reduction, where he would manually realign the bones, followed by application of a plaster cast. Ananya was terrified of the potential pain during the manipulation. The procedure was done under sedation; she felt pressure but no sharp pain. Her wrist was immobilized in a cast for six weeks. Post-recovery, after diligent physiotherapy, she regained nearly full range of motion and strength, allowing her to return to sculpting and teaching. Emotionally, she journeyed from initial panic and frustration at her sudden dependence on others to a profound sense of resilience and gratitude for her body's ability to heal.
