Sorry about your mishap. I shattered my scaphoid last July in a cycling incident.
The recovery from surgery was the most painful part, especially the first 48 hours. The pain goes away quickly, but get used to the cast. I was in a cast for 3 months.
The casting was worth it, as it allowed the bone to heal fully. Once the cast was removed I had 6 weeks of physio (2 sessions per week) where I regained full mobility. It took about another 3-4 months to regain full strength.
A long road to recovery, but it is an injury that should fully heal with proper care and time.
