It's much appreciated, and I hope so too! Did you mean did I make the progress all on my own? Well I spend about an hour a day doing physio exercises outside of my sessions, whether it be light weights to gain back the muscle I lost from atrophy, to stretching my tendons back out that contracted from being dormant for 2 months. Also my wrist joint had stiffened up to the point where its near immobile and you have to gradually force it free and move it in different directions to gain back the range of motion. The only way is to push through the pain. You gain it back slowly but when you're anxious to rebound from it, it can feel like the progress is moving at a crawling pace. It's good to set the bar high though because if you let it passively heal on it's own, it would permanently heal with limited range.
I was doing a bit of research on my own on the internet with people that have had similar fractures (ie. video recovery logs on youtube) and the range of motion I've recovered in the last 3 weeks is what some others have made in 2-3 months time, it definitely helps me sleep easier at night. I actually even rode my bike today for the first time in over 2 months
