I hate this plastic cast, it is brutal on my "good" leg because of spasms during the night making my left leg bang around.

In a spasm, my foot flexes and toes spread. It WAS more annoying than painful but now, it has pain. Makes me wonder if the bones will show any healing since there is involuntary movement.

I see the orthopedic surgeon again on Thursday.

I am going to plead for a smaller cast. Not even sure if one exists. DH and I have made a fashion statement out of the cast to address the hard plastic. The cast sock folds over the top, an ace bandage wraps around the body to cover the various nodes and a sock bootie encases the toe area.

Funny how it feels so good to take the cast off and then it starts to not feel good, vulnerable.

I am still taking quite a few oxycodone. 3 a day, two if I can handle the pain factor. At least they work. I do not feel high nor am I sleepy. I guess abuse is when people take more than one or two?
