the cast is removed!

well, what can i say - hospital trip was mostly good. the doctor said that the bone is 90% healed, and i don't have to use the cast anymore. as you can see from the photo, my right foot is swollen, with some rashes. (yuicks!)

the process of removing the cast was - um - the funnest part of the trip. the lady was nice and asked me if it was my "first time" (ahem). she then proceeded to describe what the feeling might be - "loud", "vibrations", and "you might feel a bit hot"...er...excuse me? i thought i was just getting my cast removed? then i saw the disc-blade - that got me a bit nervous (but she might have interpreted that as excited?) and she reassured me that the blade is blunt. so then she put on some kind of ear plugs and sawed the cast in 2 places, R & L down the sides of the foot.

she was actually right. the blade was blunt cos several times, i could feel it against my foot, but it didn't even cut through the cotton that was protecting my foot. and oh god - did it vibrate. but it wasn't hot although it tickled, which was a strange nice sensation.

after the cast was off, i couldn't stop rubbing my foot against the nice material of my jeans (other leg). people must think i'm mad. it was just so nice that the skin on my bad foot can now feel. i was trying not to turn myself on. :-P

when i got home, i spent 30mins cleaning my foot. (ok - i will spare you the details because it is really quite gross.) and then i measured my calfs. the difference is 2 inches. hmm... i am supposed to start trying to walk, but my foot hurts too much from lack of using in the last 6 weeks. still, i am trying.

and also, no exercise for at least a month... sigh...
