Sometimes they are too tight because of swelling after it's been put on. If it's a regular cast, then elevate it tonight and go back tomorrow and ask them to take it off and put on a looser one. If it's a splint that you can take off yourself, can you find a way to loosen it?

For the bruising and such, you can try comfrey poultices. You can get comfrey root at a health food store. Put about half a shotglass full in a small pan, the size you would use to heat one can of soup, and add water. Bring it to a boil and turn it down to where it's just barely boiling, for ten minutes. When it's cool enough to touch but still really warm, dip a rag in it and wring it out and put that on the sore areas. Cover it with a dry towel and keep replacing it with a warm one when it cools. You can leave the water on low on the stove to keep it warm.

Vitamin E from the gelcap pills can help the scrapes heal up faster.

Get well soon Aunt Blabby! You seem a nice guy to me. Don't pray, but sending happy thoughts.

Get well soon!

Are you allowed to soak your arm in cold water? Or will the cast begin to soften and disintegrate?

Rode my motorcycle last evening along a back road. Couldn't help looking up at the sky several times, as the moon was bright and nearly full in the pale, purple-rose-colored, sun-setting sky. So beautiful. And then as I rode into the forested area, I encountered deer -- five of 'em -- within a 3-mile stretch of road. One single, one pair, one single, and then one more single. Aack! Slowed down and braked each time (because where there's one, there's usually another or two or three or four).

Here's to hoping your recuperation is not so frustratingly slow, AuntBlabby.

I'm praying for you auntblabby. Get well soon. I look forward to reading more of your witty and insightful posts when you feel better.

This is what I get for not logging in all the time. I missed this accident. My bad. Hey, fellow Washingtontian, get well soon. I'll be drinking a beer, or tow, for ya. (Yes, that will be one for you, one for me. Two for you, one-two for me, etc.)

I'll send my prayers to him.

Even though I really don't know you all that well auntblabby, I hope you get all healed up soon anyway.

I'm very sorry to hear about your accident and the complications, auntblabby.

Rest up and take care. Jenny

I will definitely pray for auntlabby!

I've said my prayers before getting my lunch ready, today.

Just saw this, I haven't been on WP in days if not maybe even a couple of weeks.
I hope you are feeling better and I am glad they replaced the cast! Thinking of you, I don't pray but I am sending "caring" vibes

Saw this today. Wishing you healing and a full recovery.
