D-Day. Today I had my red cast removed. I had to be squeezed into the schedules as I was only in my cast for two weeks. If I had had more done, then it might have been longer.
First I was sent for an x-ray which was unusual because I still had my cast on. Then I saw my consultant who was amazed that I still had my cast on! Things seemed to be ok, so I was sent to have it taken off. This involved a tiny vibrating circular saw and a very loud noise! It didn't hurt.
There was some discussion as to what I needed next, but I was fitted with a supportive boot which comes up my leg to a similar place to my cast. It is very padded and expandable. I have been told to wear it and I can put weight on my foot. I can drive my automatic car with permission from my insurance company and use my crutches to support myself.
I have decided to retain my leg caddy for now and the first thing I did was to go home and take a full shower!!
