Chewing My Nails

So this afternoon is when the current cast is to be cut off and probably replaced - unless the healing process has advanced rapidly! No, I am not counting on rapid healing - normal is fine - but would not  complain if I did not have to lug a cast around for several more weeks!

No worries, I will not post pictures, unlike other times.  I realize the vast difference between infection photos and amputation.

So excited, wary, a bit fearful to see what the leg looks like now.  I had to do some very difficult exercises while sitting on a big ball.  It seems to have worked.  Such a pain.  I think there is a sadist streak with physical therapists.

After that 2.5 hour event was over, I limped back to my room and bed and threw myself down.  I awoke warm and rested, an Italian Greyhound curled up beside me and very happy!  Seems it was dog visitation day and one had escaped!  The owner was very apologetic but I laughed it off.  Too bad the dog  could not stick around longer.  It was nice being even momentarily liked...

Well, back to my exercising this morning, I will not be able to this afternoon as my cast will be drying.
