So happy for you. Please don't over use. Looks like a nice coating of some cream and plastic wrap might hydrate the dry peeling skin.

So........he left it up to you? Ruh Rho! Did you tell him you were physically and psychologically incapable of being still? I hope you have very good luck with it and it really doesn't need too much rest.
Can I get a face cast? I really could use a deep peel. ;)

Happy day for you!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear you got the cast removed. I bet it was quite liberating when they first cut it off. That skin hasn't seen the light of day for a long time. Slather up with a good moisturizing body lotion. It will soon be back to normal, you'll see. Congratulation!

Little by little like you have been use good ol lefty as much as you can. While strength builds. Some lotion with Vit E or straight Vit E oil will help moisturize the peel y skin. Great to see it off and I am still praying. Hugs Mary

I'm sure you don't need another "mama" telling you to take it easy...but I'm going to anyway! :-) Take it easy! I vote for the Vit. 3 oil too. Used it on surgery scars & they practically disappeared! Glad you're "up & running again!"

Hi Carolyn, I am so glad you are healing properly. You just are not done yet. Building up the strength in your arm is very important. Do the exercises, and be very careful please. Hugs

Hooray, hooray, hooray. You need lots of cream on that skin. Take it easy Carolyn. Hugs Sarah.

So glad for you that the cast is off. Now for you is the time to take it easy so no more damage is done to it.. Hugs, Mary

and he's right : don't overdo. The cast is off but it still needs time to heal and is still weak. ( I know I have several times experienced). So be happy it's off and careful so it keeps off. Enjoy the free arm :)

Dear Carolyn, so happy for you that it is finally off - and like everyone else on here says make sure you do as your doctor tells you.
With regard to your flaky skin issue the best moisturiser/oil for this is Bio-Oil. Hope your arm gets stronger every day.
Love and blessings Chris

So glad your plaster is off Carolyn, what a blessed relief it is, isn't it.
You should be able to buy Curel Original Moisture Lotion where you live and I highly recommend it for its healing, soothing and moisturising qualities. Normally it requires only one application per day of Curel to achieve the same (better) results of other creams that require repeated applications per day. Just don't overdo it now girlfriend. :-) hugs n roses, Meganne

Good News Carolyn!!!! Now listen to your Doctor and all the
Cutie Doctors. Take it easy. Did you ask your Doctor if you could use a brace while doing your embroidery? Might help. Happy Stitching

About 4 years ago, I fell and broke both bones in my left forearm. It required surgery (a plate on each bone/3 screws per plate). It felt sooo
good to get that cast off my arm. I used a vitamin E oil on my arm and skin, after the two cuts healed. Be very careful with your arm. I got one of those neoprene sleeves to help support my arm. It really helps. I don't wear it as often now, but, when I'm tired I will use it. Take care of that arm.

looks as if it is time so slathering the lotion or cream on your arm. My good friend and "cutie friend'" Linda Flanders referred me to "Eucerin". It comes in a plastic jar and is like body butter , but ever so much better, it also comes in a lotion form, but the cream is better. You can buy at grocery or drug store. No RX required. try it , you will love it. Kay
