5/19/99 Freshly made long leg cylinder cast. I didn't want to waste supplies on a long leg cast because the time I'd spend in it was changed to be less than I'd hoped. I'm playing an old 12 string guitar (a Harmony Stella).

4/4/99 Pictures of my latest fiber long leg cast. Notice the last row; the irony of me crutching, at the ATM, front of a handicap sign, and the pic of me climbing the stairs, both feet in mid-air. Thought these were cool pix.

These are pics of me in a cylinder cast. As you can see, a cylinder cast does not include the ankle and foot area. It's a perfectly easy cast to do if you want to immobilize the leg but do not want to deal with building the ankle. I made this one out of nine 3" plaster rolls and two 4" plaster rolls. I bent the knee quite a bit in order to force myself to crutch more than I normally would.

I had this purple long leg cast only for a day because the tape didn't stick very well. I added to this purple cast to make a mulitcolor cast (see set below).

I had some polyester tape left, but I didn't think I had enough to make a llc so I just did a cylinder cast. I should've just tried a llc with 5 rolls of 4". I'm not a big fan of wearing clc's. And I will never buy polyester tape again. It gives me a skin rash, bad.
