I haven't heard anything from the lawyers this week yet, and the week is half way through.
Obviously some extremely important news that needed be told??
I did try yesterday to get hold of them, but they didn't get back to me yet...very strange behaviour?
I was waiting on my doctor to let me know whether i could get the cast off as well, but no answer there either...
Good news is that on monday i got myself a pair of crutches.
Monday night i headed out, my first "walk" in over 3 months!
It felt great to be in the upright position again!
The crutches did cause some bruising under my armpits, but this is totally normal. After a while i will get used to this. Also my forearms got tired real quick, but this too is normal, as i am using muscles that i haven't used in months.
Today, after another newsless day from the specialist in SA, i decided to take matters into my own hands.
Cast Removal 101 :
I think it went pretty well, and can safely say to anyone in the same situation, this can be done by yourself in just a few hours.
My leg was pretty dirty inside, but mainly from dead skin, as you can see in the photo's.
With the lack of movement, obviously blood flow has been restricted, and as such all the skin has died.
But i cleaned my leg up ok with some soap and water, and after, some surgical alcohol to protect it from bacteria. I also rubbed some moisturizer into my foot where i had removed all the dead skin.
Exercises are still going well. My upper body is getting nice and strong now. Just the fat around my waist to cardio off when the opportunity arises!
My ankle is really stiff after 3 months, so i am doing slow rotations of the ankle, and flexing up and down. So we will see how that goes...
