Rdutch 0 #1 April 22, 2005 After two days of the worst itching and burning sensation inside my cast, I finally snapped and cut the damn thing off myself. (it comes off in 8 days). But Im glad I did, I had the nastiest infection growing. IF your sick look at the last pic. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #3 April 22, 2005 casts suck if not applied correctly or the skin cleaned properly before application... I was lucky. The only time I ever had a cast, on my left arm after breaking the radius bone at the wrist... never a problem. Ortho surgeon was really good. but damn, that infection looks nasty... don't blame ya for getting the cast off early."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #4 April 22, 2005 Ok.. I think we need the back story on why you even needed a cast. Nice use of the saw Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagny 0 #6 April 22, 2005 So, I looked at the last picture...couldn't help myself! Got one question for you: You scratched, didn't you? Just a guess...it's the reason docs recommend not shoving anything inside the cast to scratch even if it's itchy. You scratch the skin and the normal bacteria of the skin which have been thriving on the dark moist environment inside the cast take up residence in your skin. No matter how it happened, keep it clean and dry! And, next time, just tell the doc to take it off for you. Looks like you're about to hack your leg off in that first pic!

skymama 37 #11 April 22, 2005 Oh my gosh, Ray, it's only been a couple weeks! How will it heal properly now? A friend warned me about sticking anything down there in my cast. He said once you start, it never stops itching. It's taken all of my willpower!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
