no way, i would have had to draw them upside down, and I'm not that flexible lol.

All credit goes to my younger sister who's an art major..she's pure genius
 
Still pretty sweet regardless. And I mean, you pretty much only have one shot with something like that. So to have it all looking that good first try is super impressive.
 
i know right…and it was all free hand with a paint pen. she's crazy.

i just popped my pain killahs and let her work the magic
 
guy cares too much about what other people think.

yours would be all while maybe some signatures and get really dirty.

You're sister has a bit of talent, it's dope.
 
reconnect/tighten ligaments, cleaned up the joint, took part of my bone out under my achilles and reconnected the "sheath" that wraps over the muscles and ligaments on the outer part of the ankle
 
I know, people would be like "wow that fucking cripple has the nerve to go around with an awesomely decorated cast, what a prick!"
 
I had a friend make a sleeve out of my half arm cast and I thought it was pretty cool, but these are on the next level. Drawing on casts is such a great way to make a shitty situation a little better.
 
i had surgery on my forearm a week and a half ago and my cast is nowhere near as awesome as yours. thankfully it comes off in 2 hours
 
What happened that required you to get ankle surgery? I have an annoying and starting to get very worrisome high ankle sprain, that doesn't seem to be getting better. I think I have torn some ligaments in my ankle. The doc says that if it doesn't feel better by the end of the month then I need an MRI. Its not feeling better even after physical therapy. Very worried.

 
sports over the years have been rough on it, but last Lacrosse season in college i had a bad sprain at the beginning of the season that I played on for the rest of the year.

Physical therapy didn't help for me either.

Get an MRI without contrast and then give it to an ankle specialist. That's what I did and I ended up having surgery to correct it.
 
I went to an ankle specialist and he is making me do PT. He said my Tib and Fib look fine as far as the space in between them is concerned. I am just very worried I have torn some ligaments that will require surgery, there are 2 very distinct spots on my ankle that hurt.

 
right.

I had the same thing, spacing was fine laterally, but front and back spacing was a little off.

Usually they want to try therapy before going to surgery anyways.

Just show him that you are generally concerned and that you think therapy won't help.

1. Get an MRI

2. Get Stress x-rays (where they pressure and bend your ankle to check spacing laterally and front to back)

3. After those are done, he can see if you need surgery
