Apparently some people ooze more than others after this operation and the ooze can seep through the plaster and look unsightly.
The decision was made to cover it with a soft cast that can be unwound if there is too much swelling or oozing. It's not waterproof like a regular fiberglass but it doesn't add much extra weight and gives a certain satorial elegance to things.
After having a session with the physio a large area if blood appeared on my cast. This is normal and a reminder to keep the foot elevated 24/7. The nurses found it distressing so arranged for an orthopedics nurse to consult with a surgeon.
