and furthermore...

When I do have this sodding cast off, my leg is going to be hairy, white, horrendously scarred, all the skin is peeling off (I look like a leper) and apparently (so says my surgeon) I will be able to see the plates and screws through my skin seeing as my ankles are so thin. Pity I didn't break my goddamn stomach, would never have seen the plates and screws then.
