Buckles by David Gilbert for September 26, 2024

It’s a good thing that it’s not the seven year itch…..

Uggghhhh, that drives you crazy!

Poor puppy!

Which leads to the chewing of cast stage. I see a cone of shame in Buckles future.

Awww ! : (

That’s the worst thing that can happen to anyone when you’re wearing a cast.

Buckles ask Paul to use compressed air to ease the itching. Been there, full leg cast, compressed air, Oh what a relief it was.

Maybe Flea can scratch the itch for ya

By the way , great job by David making the images of the precious Buckles in the itching dance : )

I broke my elbow on the first day of school in 6th grade. I had a bent arm cast from knuckles to armpit on my right arm. I used a knitting needle to scratch the itches. You don’t realize how much you need to use both arms until one of them gets imprisoned in plaster of Paris!

Wait til you have to put/take off a bra with your arm in a cast.

Poor Buckles. That’s miserable.

I was told once I was going to get a cast. I said I can’t have one because if you put one on, I will go home and saw it off. I have claustrophobia and I would feel crushed in it. I was just being honest. We finally agreed on a half-cast of plastic and gauze wrapped around it. It was on my arm. It was awful – not the pain, the desire to cut it off was there constantly! Luckily, I only needed it for less than two weeks. (I did not have a broken bone.) I can handle a removable cast, as I had on with my broken ankle a few years ago. As long as I believe I can remove it, I can deal with it.

I had a cast on my foot (up to the knee) post operation for 6 weeks…luckily, I never got the itchies.
