Minnie,

I never wore a cast. After hearing your story, I'm doubly glad I didn't. Ouch! I had a dressing that was changed daily, and I used cling wrap to cover my leg when showering. I used a walker so I wouldn't have to put pressure on my donor leg, and sat on a plastic patio chair in the shower. Fortunately, I'd just built an extra large shower a few months before.

Maybe you can ask a wound care specialist whether HBO treatments would help. They help to increase circulation by growing capilaries, and the oxygen doesn't hurt a bit. :-)

I love my new island life, especially the view...

Ken
