Cast is a patellar tendon bearing plaster slc. Castee severely sprained
her ankle at a bar late one night after tripping on a flight of stairs
while in an inebriated state. She had to wait until about 4 in the
morning when they felt she was sober enough to be sedated and casted.
She hated the weight and the size of the plaster cast so she returned
about a week and a half later demanding a fiber cast. The hospital did
not carry fiber so they gave her the name and the address of a local
supplier of fiber and they told her that she would have to go buy it
herself then return to the hospital with it and they'd remove the
plaster and apply the fiber.
She did so and all the while they were removing the old cast and applying
the new one, they gave her a hard time as they felt that it was extra
work and a shame that she wanted to get out of such a nice plaster cast.
She loved the fiber cast and was able to wear her usual long pants such
as jeans.
She never wants to be med casted again but would consider being rec
casted given the right circumstances.
Just as an aside, the pic is believed to be the only one of her
while she was in any of her casts. It was taken while she visted the set
of a movie that starred Demi Moore (The Scarlet Letter).
