How To Treat A Fracture Which Is Causing Bruise And Swelling Around The Hand?

HI, I am 52 and fell 7 weeks ago, it was a violent fall. I ended up spread eagle on my face. My hand hurt but was not swollen or very bruised. 3 weeks ago i had xrays they said no fractrue. went to an orthopedic surgeon yesterday, fracture of the scaphoid. During those 7 weeks, I have been moving furniture to the basement (yest it hurt) mowing the lawn, etc. What are my chances that this is going to heal well. He said there should have been a cast for 8 weeks, but come back in 4 and do not use this hand at all.
