Ok, see, when the doctor took the titanium rods that went through my leg out, blood shot out like a geyser. I was, of course, unconscious. My doc told me that he wrapped my leg up really fast with gauze and threw on the cast. Well, you can see here the massive amount of dried blood that soaked through layers of cast. This is the guaze side.

And this is the cast side...

Here's a particulary brutal shot where you can see the gauze that was directly over the holes made by the external fixator. Yummy.

And here are the scars - the cleaned up aftermath.

Ok, at this point, my leg is sitting quite precariously on the table. My tibia is still non-union, meaning if someone wanted to, they could break my leg with their bare hands. I'm NOT moving. Another cast must be applied. The reason we change casts is because of the blood/sanitary concerns, and because legs atrophy in casts. As it atrophies, it becomes easier for my non-union leg to flop and cause further damage. We must "tighten it up" with another cast. I went blue.

My third cast in nine days. I went green this time, and my friend Andrea decided that if my toes had to stick out, she might as well decorate them. I, being quite comfortable with who I am, said ok. Besides, if a pretty woman wants to play with my feet, who am I to say no?

I read back...
to refamiliarize myself with your ordeal.
At least I got to see that picture of your Mom again!:D |
