Cha.otic gets a cast!

I have a blue soft cast on my right foot at the moment. I will for another 2 days and hopefully it will be removed at that point. I say hopefully because my foot has been swollen since Halloween with hardly any pain. I visited my primary care physician who ran a blood panel which confirmed it isn’t anything diet related but she also did an x-ray to confirm that it wasn’t broken. So she referred me to a podiatrist. My podiatrist is a freaking cool dude (seriously, he was possibly the best doctor I’ve ever had) but really couldn’t tell me much more than she did. He did say that the tendons are inflammed indicating that I may have pulled a tendon or two. He wrapped my foot up and sent me on my way with instructions to leave the soft cast on for a week. If the swelling is down, I’m cured. If NOT, I’ll get a fun walking boot for a few weeks.

Have you ever tried to shower with a soft cast? It’s no fun.

I hope my cast is off so I can go out Friday with my friends without looking like a klutz but since klutz is my middle name, I’m sure I’ll be out in a walking cast.

Have you ever had a cast? Any suggestions for showering? No matter what I do, it gets wet and gross.

Also, does anyone use Twitter? I need Twitter friends!
