Got a new cast!
 

Update!

I had a check up appointment with the Orthopedic Specialist on Thursday, had another XRay and I now have a new plaster cast!

I told the Ortho Doc about the terrible pain I've been having at the base of my thumb (having had lots of fractures I was sure I'd broken the base of my thumb as well) and although she couldn't see a fracture on XRay, she hasn't ruled one out. With that in mind, my thumb's been included in the wrappings this time.

I'm really hoping that this new firmer cast will prevent the broken bits of bone grating together enough to finally get this pain under control. Here's hoping anyway!! It certainly has been a painful fracture..... much more than what I expected!

My next appointment is in another a month's time to get a check up XRay, and if all is well... have the plaster cast removed.

I've included a photo that hubby took earlier in the week because I thought you might like to see the mess I made of myself.:rolleyes:

Dang, girl! No more showing off for you, missy! The next time you get it in your head to pretend you're a circus performer, just nix it!!!

That pic just made me cringe!
Good to hear that the ortho listened to you. Here's hoping the new cast is more comfotable and that you heal quickly!

Wow, that's a nasty bruise you have there. Reminds me of Jim's compound fracture. Huge :hug: to you and I pray the new cast heals you more quickly and without less pain. :hug:

I'm glad you and DM don't live close to each other. Imagine the trouble the two of you could get into together! LOL

You have such a pretty arm too..Ouchy..:hug:

DEJ. ..it's an arm not a leg..:rolleyes:

:o oopsie! I had to go back and double look. :cool:

Awwww, our poor lil Koala has such a nasty purple booboo! :(

BE CAREFUL!!! We don't like to see you get so banged up!!! :hug::hug::hug:

Ouch - that looks so painful. I hope the new cast works better for you!

I thought it was a leg, too:rolleyes: That looks nasty...:eek:
