Latest update - Had the hard cast removed yesterday and things have been going better than normal as far as the x-rays go. They told me that everything set and healed way better than expected considering how bad the break was, I'm so relieved for that. Now for the rest of the healing process and exercising my hand and wrist. I still have some pain when I move it different ways, but this will pass as I build the muscles back up. I still have over $25K in medical bills which I have no idea how I'm going to pay for, any help can be sent to www.gofundme.com/helpdjdarkgift as every single dollar helps as I've got nothing coming in till I can get healed up and land a new job, God willing. I hope things turn around for the better. Thanks for all the get well messages and comments on FB as they've meant a lot. I'll keep everyone up to date as things develop.

Just an update of sorts, I was off to see my Orthopedic Doctor today for some more x-rays and to have my splint removed and the hard cast put on. After all was said and done, the x-rays looked as good as they could be, which was very good news to hear, and that I will have to wear the hard cast for four weeks. Hopefully in four weeks when I am due back for my follow up, things will have healed up and I can get it taken off. The good thing is that I've regained movement in my elbow as the cast didn't have to go up that far like the splint did.
For a few days I thought really hard on the color of the cast, as a plain white one would just not be me. Those that know me had expected me to go with a purple one, big surprise there, but no. I decided to go with a pink one to support Breast Cancer Awareness in memory of my Mother whom I lost to this terrible disease back in 2001. I'm really digging it, have already had some friends sign it, and it certainly does get some heads turning as one could only imagine. I'll post up a few photos below. Well, time for some much needed rest and I'll be back at the keyboard as soon as I can muster up some thoughts worth sharing.
Hope that you are all well and I just want to say thanks to everyone who has called or messaged me with good tidings and get well wishes, as they are certainly appreciated and needed.
Anyone wishing to help out with the rather high out of pocket medical bills, to date I'm up over $25,000.00 which is a real mental drain on me still being out of work and not having any insurance to help with said bills. You can visit my fundraiser page at www.gofundme.com/helpdjdarkgift
Thanks again Everyone and God Bless you all,
Shawn aka DJ DarkGift.
