I figured I would follow up on this one as it's been a few months.
My surgery was in late April, my doc decided to go the internal fixation(screw) route, as he felt it would give me the best chance of healing 100%. After the surgery, I spent the next 6 weeks in a hard cast.
Then following the cast, I was given a soft splint to wear(which i didn't) for the next month. That pretty much leads us up to right now. I have about 75-80 of the range of motion I had, and my doc told me to start using my wrist for just about everything except weights and contact sports. It doesn't hurt at all anymore, but it's still somewhat stiff when i try to flex it all way. But I hear that's just from being stuck in a cast for so long. Long term prognosis is just fine.
On the bright side, I became really, really ambidextrous
