The dead skin built up inside the cast is starting to seep out. The palm of my hand is constantly clammy because the cloth in the cast is, and there's no drying it. The back of my hand is flaking off like a pastry. One week until the cast removal, and I can only guess as to the mixture of joy and horror that awaits me.
Meanwhile, I'm starting to get used to the thing. My hand and wrist are no longer is constant pain, and I can use as much of it as I can reach. I can kind of work my right arm at the gym, but not being able to grip anything properly is a hinderance. That and the muscle in my forearm hasn't been used much in the last couple months, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised if it doesn't bounce back in a day. Otherwise I feel like I can just pop the cast off right now and be alright.
With my luck I'd hurt myself if I did. One more week it is.
