Well, same here but for a not new player.
Got wounded in Vix, I think it took me 2.5 days (5 turns) to go from 'wounded' status (which doesn't allow you to do anything) to 'lighly wounded'. I think it were around 175 messages waiting for me to be read all at once.
Worst timing ever, I got to spend a day lightly wounded/recovering, and another major battle happened in the same region. Now I'm wounded again with +100 messages waiting for me.
What's going to get changed, by confirmation of Delvin:
- Some sort of system that allows you to at least read letters while wounded (not sure about seriously wounded though, wouldn't make sense you would be able to read letters).
- Tweak the amount of time it takes to recover from being wounded
