Hey everyone,
I did get my cast off however, the DR wanted to put it right back on for another month! So I begged and I pleaded that he pleeeeeaseee! not put the cast back on. That's when he made me solemnly swear to wear a removable velcro'd boot every moment of my waking day short of taking a bath. It was soo great to finally be able to wash my foot (since I hadn't after the fall down that dirty hill) and shave my leg! It's no surprise just how nasty a dirty foot in a fiberglass cast can get - but WAS IT! EW! It was pretty bad, but here I am walking and bathing and still healing.
Life is good again :o)
