You are all so lucky

I really don't know when this stupid bone will heal. I've heard so many scare stories about broken scafoids (avascular necrosis! Bone grafts! Pins!) and got a fright when I googled it.. But then again, no one ever writes about it just healing as it doesn't make such an impression on them

I'll write! I have broken both of mine and both have (eventually) healed up fine, no pins or necrosis or anything. I was a bit cocky though with the first one, got back on the mtn bike too soon and kept re-injuring it, causing immense pain and rendering my hand useless for a week. reckon it took a good few months to get back to full strength. the second one I did skating 10 days before a surf trip... had the cast taken off and strapped the bastard thing up with adhesive bandages and went for it. I actually think the paddling helped the healing process.
