truepennyThis morning, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirrorthaw drove me to the hospital so they could take my sutures out and put on a real fiberglass cast instead of just a splint.
My vagus nerve threw a wobbly in the middle (I swear it was something about having the sutures clipped), so my achievement for today is that I neither fainted nor puked in the exam room.
The cast is a big improvement over the splint. It's not as heavy, and it's much more snug and therefore more confidence-inspiring. I feel like my foot will stay in the correct position without my worrying about it, which for the last couple days was not true with the splint.
Of course, my ankle bitterly protested being mauled about, so I came home, took two oxycodone, and slept for five hours. And I'm now slow and fogged-in and generally useless. But glad for the new cast.
