3/12/99 Pictures of my all natural short leg walking cast. I used cotton padding, stockinette and plaster. These are just pictures around my apartment. The weather was terrible today, cold and rainy. Maybe tomorrow it will improve and I can public some. This is my first cast with a heel (I didn't apply it though).

2/28/99 My first ever lats and fiber arm cast turned out great. Arm casts aren't my favorite kind, but every once in awhile I like a change from all the leg casts. The first three pictures are of me inside my apartment. The next two are of me outside of Burger King. This was also my first true publicking experience in an arm cast. I'm much more bold about publicking now. But it helps that I'm new to this area and not really known by anyone.
However, while (weith a fellow caster), a couple that the fellow caster knew came up to him to say hello. They had a kid and he asked me what I did to my arm. I hadn't thought of an excuse ahead of time so I just mumbled "I fell on my arm funny". Hehe, It's better to have a few default excuses for various types of casts (I'm better with leg cast excuses). The last picture is a closeup of the hand. Notice the red stain. It's ketchup, not blood, for once!
