It takes more than a shattered wrist to keep General Hospital's Ryan Paevey (Nathan West) out of Port Charles, as the actor is back to work and ready for whatever the ABC soap throws his way.

Paevey took to social media to let fans know that he's back in the game after a motorcycle "spill" over the Fourth of July weekend left him with quite a serious hand injury.

"Ditching the cast and the donut beard," the actor tweeted along with a photo of himself back at work. "Thanks everybody for checking in on me, I'm alive."

As readers may recall, Paevey was camping with friends over the holiday weekend when the accident took place. He's been slowly recovering since the mishap, and the recent GH hiatus no doubt gave him the rest and relaxation he needed before returning to Port Charles drama.
