Well I have my New cast on - an "Air Walker" The hospital told me I would have to pay $195.oo!!!! I said to him " you are kidding me right? Is this a joke?" He said since I don't have Extra Health coverage, I have to buy the cast myself. So of course I'm asking what my other options are....he said he could put on a Plaster cast, but then I couldn't remove it to take a shower. Gawd, where have I been for the last few decades???? Guess this is the New Healthcare - pffft
Well it ends up he "lends" me an Air Walker cast. The new liner cost me $45.00 which is a bargoon in comparison. I return the cast once I'm finished.
It is a Pleasure to take a shower. I have gone swimming a few times in our little pool. I don't put my foot down & the water is great for my body temperature & my foot. Also I cover the cast in a grocery bag when going out to the chicken pen - ya just Never know what you might step in, walking around there - LOL
They will look @ my ankle again in mid July. That's when they will decide if I need to wear this cast for an additional month, or be set FREE - Fingers crossed!
