Only 4 days to go until

[chesnuts]

Only 4 days until I have the plaster casts removed from both of my legs, yippee. I hope I don't walk funny lol. And I will be able to drive and have a proper bath instead of a washdown, for any of you who dont know I have had 2 broken legs with knee to toe casts on for over 6 weeks. And soon they will be gone............................

I will be able to scratch my feet. OOhh the delight

That's great news Chesnuts. Just think of all the things you'll be able to do.

[chesnuts]

OOh I know, I hope my feet don't smell when they take the plaster off, I've kept them as clean as I can!!!

[EngTeach]

Good luck. Don't go crazy. Take it easy. I can't believe it's been 6 weeks already. Though I bet you feel like it's bee 6 months!

Hi chesnuts, i am pleased for you, but just take your time until you ad-just to the freedom of no plaster, lots of luck, best wishes, megan. xxxxxxxx :-))

[Drisgirl]

Youve done well -well not that you had much option -but I would have been seriously demented -especially with the itching.Well done you -like the others have said take it easy but enjoy the freedom x

Is this the same chesnuts who was distraught last night about having to rehome their dog?

[chesnuts]

Thanks guys, ooh I forgot about how hairy my legs will be, hope its a lady and not a guy who takes the plaster off, how embarassing lol and I will take it easy, promise x

[bigmamma1]

Hello chesnuts, Gosh I bet you are looking forward to getting your casts off .Your legs will feel odd for a while until you get used to them , hope they will give you plenty of physio . Let us know how you get on . Take care .:-) xx

[puzzled54]

Don't forget there will muscle wastage after 6 weeks, your legs may look all pale and skinny!

[B00]

<<<was the hairy handed woman, and I still am! :-(

How come your casts were only on for 6 weeks whilst mine was on for 8? huh? LOL

Seriously though, roll on the 4 days for you, prepare for the felling like jelly feeling, it's weird!

[hayley1973]

make u moisturize your legs when plaster comes off cos your skin will go dead flaky when u start scratching once it comes off. my son has been in plaster about 6 times in last 10 years and he always scratches like mad once plaster comes off. good luck

[chesnuts]

Wow what a lot of answers
bigmamma1 yes thanks
puzzled54 please
and to the rest of you, my work place terminated my employment due to incapacity even though i get the chalks off on Thursday coming and one week to get my legs back to normal so....answer is

i lost my job

obviously i need to work i have been busy applying for other jobs
i have an interview on Friday the day after i get the chalks off, in chester, i know its a long way guys but i need to do it. i have a mortgage to pay and bills to pay. i will wear thick socks and trainers to drive down, surely that will help me. i know i shudnt but its a good job title and i need it to survive, my last company sent an occupational therapist to the house who said i wud be ok, however m work[place were making redundancies, i was obviously next

[chesnuts]

I also have an interview in Surrey on the following tuesday but apparently i can fly and claim expenses back

[pinkkitty]

Lucky you Chestnut! I'm getting my cast off a week today(i dislocated my knee a month ago) & i can't wait. I bet I'll have forgotten how to drive! The thing i have missed most (apart from being able to go out anywhere) is having a bath.

[dolly pond]

all the best

i`ll keep everything crossed x
