What Color Should I Get My Cast?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm getting my regular cast on Tuesday (finally it seems, even though it'll only have been a week since surgery, but I've had issues with my surgical cast)...
What color should I get? It doesn't have to be just 1, so I'm open to things like stripes. My favorite color is purple, but I'm not sure if I want to be in purple for 6 weeks, which it'll probably be since I'm getting the surgical cast off early.

Was it ever dreary to you? Cast purple is just so dark (I tend to go towards lighter purples)...maybe I could put stripes on it...like pink or blue or something. I don't know. Just throwing ideas out there.

I guess it all comes down to personal taste, I liked the rich colour. I've tried to attach a photo - don't know if it will work. Stripes would definitely be cheerful

I'm all about color...like, color...bold, in your face, fun times color. That purple would be the perfect purple for a pair of leggings or a top, going along with a brighter top/bottom...I mean, I've got leggings, a favorite pair that have teal and magenta in them...and another favortie pair that's green with orange and pink flowers.
So...maybe purple with stripes of a lighter color. I just feel like that purple would make me depressed.after awhile. Like, I'd be enamored for a bit of time, and then end up absolutely hating it cause it was too boring.

From what you've said, the brighter the better. Like the idea of electric green & pink.

Mine is a removable cast which is bright orange with a white trim. I would have had stripes if it were possible - maybe purple and orange....

Lucky you for having a removable cast!! Purple and orange? I've thought about that actually...not really sure why -- I don't really like orange a lot haha.

This photo was taken as my cast was being made and i have to say it is bright. Everyone always comments on it - previously i was given red and it looked like a fur trimmed Christmas boot!
I have to say mine cheers me up.

That's fun! And I'm not big on orange.
How exactly do removable casts work anyway?

I am allowed to gently exercise it after a few weeks and apparently helps it more than it just being confined in one place.
Orange goes with my hair and my handbag, so people often comment on it.

Interesting.
My current tote is silver (and yes, it is truly a tote, not a purse, not a handbag, not a clutch...a bonafide tote!), so anything and everything would go with that. And my hair is black...nothing special about that lol. But I see what you mean
