On Wednesday the day arrived to have my cast removed. Fingers crossed that the X-ray showed that leg was healing in the three places it was broken. The removal of the cast was pretty scary, but I was assured that the circular saw was completely safe!
I have been kitted out with a boot which can bear weight but I still need to use crutches. I was quite shocked at how swollen the leg is still. The consultant said it could be up to a year before it returns to normal. I had a lovely long shower to remove six weeks worth of dead skin. Then I moisturised with olive oil. Just being out of the confinement of that heavy cast and allowing the air to the skin is wonderful!
