I’ll have to keep the leg still for at least two weeks. For that purpose, I have to wear a leg splint during this time. Before that I was just wearing the tensor bandage thinking, “alright, I can go around with my jeans on without any problem.” Well, that hope was dashed with my visit to the fracture clinic.
When I went, I was smart enough to wear shorts under my jeans. Otherwise, I probably would’ve had to go home in the cold weather in just my boxers.
Imagine that.
Today, I’m at work wearing the type of pants where the bottom parts of the pants can be unzipped right off. One leg is in “shorts” mode while the other is keeping my leg covered.
I can walk around, albeit stiffly, like a robot. Not that I’m complaining–the splint helps me sleep at night since I don’t really have to worry about what position my leg is in.
