Yesterday, Thank God, the doctor removed the plaster of paris. I was feeling much better except for the slight pain from time to time which I wasn't sure if it was due to the healing or the plaster of paris which got loosened up and was pricking from all sides. Add to that my first niece starting picking it up and there were holes in some places too.
When we were in the Casualty section to remove it, the guy who came with the driller (which did look a little scary) was amazed by the artwork on my plaster (thanks to my first niece) and then he was like, well I would like to add to it too and took his pen and started drawing lines. He and my brother shared laughs while I groaned. Men!! or should I say Boys!!!
Now I am back to Crepe Bandage and I am feeling much better, except that I am unable to apply too much pressure on that leg. I have to now start walking normally, because it is still a little stiff with all that pressure from the plaster and not to mention the swelling (which is still slightly there, but the doc confirmed that is is normal). Since I am here , I rather finish off Diwali and then plan to go back to Bangalore after that week (which is a sort of agreement because my family wants me here for two more weeks, just because the doc said that it will be completely healed in another 2 weeks). Sometimes they can be a little over bearing :). Now that I out of the crutch and the plaster, I am itching (even literally too) to get back to the normal walk, dance and run...I know, I have to take it slow and I am doing it...but still...being an invalid does really suck.
