My Cast ... is Off.



Friday was a busier than usual day. Lynell was coming up from on the train from New Orleans, I was having lunch with a female K-9 cop that I hadn't seen in about a year, the kids were driving over to fly out the next day to visit the mother in law in Chicago..... plus I had an appointment with the "foot doctor" for my planter faci -t- is.

At 3:00 pm I was in his office and he said,

" well, your foot is so small, these soft casts won't help at all, so we will put you in a hard cast."

I had it on less than an hour before I was in the bathtub, trying to wet that sucker and get it off... no luck.

My poor leg began to have a horrible panic attack. I jumped in the truck and drove to the ER, and waited to have it removed.

"No, I don't want drugs, no, my foot isn't broken, I just need this thing off!"

An hour and a half later, I was free to go.

I'll stick with taking Advil and using ice and elevation. No more cast!!!

Oh, my memory of a hard cast is so fresh it still gives me the itchies. I wonder why he didn't put you in an air cast? That would have been much easier to deal with. Glad you're feeling better.

My Father kicked one of our goats when I was young and broke his foot. The doctor put it in a hard cast and everyone in the Counrt House kept asking him how he broke it. Soooo he just came home that night and took it off and put on a pair of lace up boots that he had. I git my grit from his side of the family. Ha!! Be care full and don't injure it again. Nen;a

They are itchy and make you sweat profusely, I totally agree

I had a bone spur and it was ground off in 1996. They put a cast with a thing on the bottom so I could walk on it. No crutches though. I kept it on for three weeks then insisted they remove it or I would do it myself. They removed it and I never had any trouble walking on it. I don't think I ever needed the damn thing!

Good for you. Hi to Lynell!

Well crap. I had made up all kind of good stories about how you came to have a cast on your foot. This is quite a let down. My stories were much better. They involved certain other bloggers, alcohol and the Elvismobile! Glad you are OK!!
