Title: Plaster
Post by: MeTony on April 02, 2018, 01:16:56 PM
I have a plaster on my arm. I fell on some ice and hurt my hand. Dysphoria deluxe. Can't get my binder on. I can hardly button my pants and can't tie my shoe laces. I am completely handicapped. It is my right hand too. I need to write with a finger on my phone. Can't use my thumb. Takes forever!!

Two more weeks with this. To start with.

AAAARRRGGGHHHH!

Heya Tony:  I feel for you!!!  You must have broken a bone in your hand and arm or why else did they put plaster on it... perhaps to immobilize it even if it's not broken??

When I was in college I had a skiing accident and broke my ankle and broke my right wrist among other injuries....   I couldn't work at my part time job which helped me to pay my college bills, I had great difficulty writing my notes in classes (I am right handed also... and I am a klutz with my left hand) and I was on crutches and moving so slowly.   It was a bummer for sure!!! 

I appreciate seeing your posting replies to many of the FTMs that are new here and have questions that a MTF like myself may have trouble identifying with.  

Get well soon and please continue posting and encouraging, even if it is a slow ordeal with your bunged up hand.
How long are they telling you that you will have the cast on???

Hugs,
Danielle
