cracked carpal

Secretary posts that Almeda left the hospital in San Diego with a cast on one wrist due to a cracked carpal, and a removable brace on the other to protect it. Luckily, she feels, the cast is fiberglass and lighter weight than the standard model. Unfortunately, the other brace is irritating and with Velcro that keeps catching. (It lasted one day, secretary notes.) She's managing the pain with ibuprofen.
