What will the doctors do about my half cut off cast?
Long story short. I fractured the 5th metatarsal bone in my foot. They put tubagrip on it. Then asked me if i wanted a cast, I said yeah (cause i thought it would be cool..i’ve neve had a cast before) i’ve had it on for about 4-5 days now and can’t cope with it. It’s so irritating. I had a shower earlier on today with a bin liner on but water seeped through it. It went all knobbly and I went mad with a knife and decided to cut at my cast. I tried to get all of it off but decided to give up after 2 hours. I’ve cut most of it off but now I phoned the hospital and they said wait till 9 (i have 45 mins to go) to call the fracture unit. Do you think they’ll take it off? I don’t want a new one. I need to go back to work, i’ve not been in ages and if i have to wait a month, then i’m sure i’ll be sacked and i’d be more than happy with tubagrip on it now. I had it on before and they said it was fine, do you think I can have tubagrip back on it? Will they be mad at me? what shall I do?
look at you like “what the f*ck have you done” haha
give it to you, or throw it in the garbage, most likely your choice. Did you wanna keep your smelly cast lol? You should take a photo of it, and work with it within photoshop or some other program and come up with a cool photo.. pictures smell better.. haha.
Nooo what will happen? Will I get a cast again or tubagrip?
I think they’ll give you a choice, my friend back in elementary school chewed through all her casts so they ended up opting for other options untill they found the one that worked for everyone.
haha i didnt read the whole question. because you did what you did, they will ask you if you want a new full cast or perhaps they will offer you another suggestion. I did the same thing one time and they made separate splints on either side with plaster then wrapped it.. or some kinda cut away kinda thing for only the area they need to cast. ive had a tonne of broken bones and my moms a nurse so.. next time ill read the whole question haha
okay. good. thanks!
good good, because i am desperately wanting to go back to work (although i hate it, i’d rather have A job than NO job) D: so so so so it’s a good thing that they might do that.
Check out the super cool CastCooler. Your cast won’t itch or stink!
