I don ' t understand the whole insanity defense thing . Has their ever been a sane person who killed several people just because they felt like it ? IMO you have to be insane do something like this , but that doesn ' t mean you shouldn ' t be in prison the rest of your life . <| sep |> Thank you for clearing my doubts . English is not my native language , so I have trouble identifying sarcasm . <| sep |> IMO , you don ' t DO normal a routine when an important part of your body is broken . That would be like trying to drive a car with a broken tierod , or trying to cook with a pot with a broken handle . You have GOT to let your bones heal . The cast is not a replacement part , it ' s to prevent the bones from more damages and to keep everything in alignment while you heal . Stressing the muscles in the broken hand will damage and prolong the healing process , and could lead to a permanently misaligned set of metacarpals or whatever bones you broke . Don ' t do that ! If you have a gym membership , maintain your wind by doing the stationary cycle or treadmill , leg work that requires no use of hands , whatever but do not put any pressure on that hand . You can work back up to where you were once the doctor declares you healed , but keep this in mind the entire point of a fitness routine is to be healthy . Right now , with a broken hand , your number one priority for your physical well being is to get that hand healed . Which brings up another point most good gyms also include a medical therapy room . I don ' t know if your health insurance covers that , but even one session would give you the knowledge of how to work your hand gently back up to speed . As for your period , I have yet to find a gynecologist who can really do anything helpful about the pain or rate of flow . Beyond a permanent fix which is illegal in my state before you bear your first child ! , you have to survive those monthly flushes as best you can . Oral contraceptive use can regulate the timing , usually , but come with their side effects , too . There are different formulae , too , as well as different strengths . If one isn ' t helping , or the side effects are too weird , you can get a different brand prescribed . I hope this helps .
