if you have to have a cast ... dont get it wet .... this is what happens .....

.. this new cast ... had a different plasterer again .. and she put a lot more padding under the cast and you know how i said that my skin is really dry well its coming off and as the cast is a new one its tight and so the skin is stuck underneath all the padding .. and its itching like anything have even woken up in the nite cos of the itch .. oh and its a good job the spugsters here .. he attacked it with the stanley knife as the ends of the bandaging of the cast started coming off and was sticking up .. and digging into my fingers halfway up my arm ...

anyway the spugster arrived friday nite .. late cos he missed his connection at preston .. his train from oop north was just pulling into preston 10 mins late as the one...

... the chickens before they hatched should i ...

theyve put another one on for another 3 weeks ... and its another red one. Wanted the neon pink when i found out i was going to have another one but they didnt have it in my size ... so settled for another red one ...

Appointment was 9am .. set off at 8am .. got there 10 mins early .. anyway they cut it off ... and my skin is dry as anything underneath ..and guess who forgot to take the handcream wi her .. i was so sure it would be off ..and id be back to normal .. well you know what thought did ... tho i did manage to get rid of some of it went and got it xrayed and every time they moved my wrist it hurt and yes i will admit it i had tears in my eyes...

oh i am ... 7 1/2 weeks ive had this cast on and its driven me nuts .. especially with all this rain we've had!!! have only two coats that i can get my hand through .. and ones a big thick winter coat and the other a thin waterproof jacket which ive been wearing all the time but which means that my jeans or trousers im wearing gets soaked .. so ive been hiding in the house most of the time and i been getting cabin fever!!!

I know what im taking with me to the hospital tomorrow .. some handcream or lotion.. Its like dandruff coming out of the cast .. all my skin has gone dry and peeling and its itching under there .. and as soon as they cut it off the creams being rubbed in .. theres so much coming out of it i dont know...

.. is flipping hard work ... you actually dont realise how much you use your hands for especially both hands .. until you cant use one ..and especially if you right handed and it is your right handed one taken out of commission!

like im used to typing wi both hands .. learnt how to type when i was 14 and its now down to 1 finger .. tho its probably easier for me because i know were all the letters are on the keyboard ... i started typing this at 11.16pm .. and finished at 11.39pm thats too long for me oh and the mouse .. im getting used to it now but still press the left instead of the right ...

opening a tin is a no go area ... cos you need both hands to use the tin opener. luckily i have a kettle...
