The thought of not being able to ride again is an utterly depressing prospect.
Many thanks.

Shoulder not wrist but I would say --
It's early days; trust the physio and do as you are told, exactly as you are instructed (don't invent things for yourself).
Work with the physio, show interest, question what is happening but in a positive way (lots of UK patients of the NHS think that miracle cures are on hand and they don't actually have to do too much to be fully cured - maybe they have been watching too many BS movies wherein the hero always stands up and walks away?).
Don't accept that the physio process is finished until you are content that it is finished - by which I mean that you have to decide what % recovery you want to achieve (connect this point with those above).
Good luck; you will be riding again sometime in the future if you really want to do that.
