I was too excited to be able to knit and spin again that I do not
remember any problems :D

I never had a cast on a wrist. The one on my foot made my ankle weak for a
bit. Had to be careful not to come down wrong on it. Does that count for
anything?

Mirjam - I broke my wrist about a year and a half ago - I was 59 years old -
it was my first broken bone! Six weeks in the cast. I wasn't doing much
knitting at the time so I can't tell you specifically about knitting but my
hand and arm were both still swollen and very weak when the cast came off
(and I had kept it UP 99.9% of those 6 weeks!). The best thing I did was go
get a massage - she kept wanting to work on the rest of me but I made her
work on my hand, wrist, and lower arm. It really loosened up the stiff
muscles/tendons/etc. I should have gone back for more sessions but life got
in the way and I didn't... It got frustrating at times when it didn't work
properly so I just reminded myself that the bone had healed while the cast
was on and then I had to recover from the effects of the cast! I read on
the internet that it would take 1 - 2 years to fully recover from a broken
wrist - I think I'm about back to where I was after 1 1/2 years. Good
luck!!!
