Safe & Secure

I'm feeling a lot happier since speaking with the Surgeon over the phone about my cast and removing it. 

The cast (if you could call it that) was a bit Heath Robinson in its construction and felt very loose on my arm leaving me feeling quite vulnerable, so after chatting with the Surgeon about the wrist support I still have from when I shattered my wrist 10 years ago, he agreed I could remove the cast and use the wrist support instead, especially as it has a metal insert the full length of it for protection. This is far more comfortable and feels a whole lot more secure.

He did make me promise that I wouldn't remove the dressing underneath and I've agreed to behave myself and leave that bit alone.

For now it's a good & comforting feeling knowing that the break is properly secured and protected, and it will be interesting to see how things are when I see the Surgeon again in two weeks time.
