Larry had been out of work for almost a whole year. He was becoming very desperate for work as almost every job he applied for had turned him down for various reasons, none of which made sense to him. After all, why would he apply for a job for which he wasn't qualified? Every day he wake up in bed for that newvous feeling in the pit of his stomach, with the accompanying thoughts of will I be able to apy for my bills? Will my mother be able to give me something this week? After all, his mother was very elderly and he didn't like to take anything from he and wished he could help her out instead.
Above all, he thought back to the day he got fired from his job, after being at the insurance comapny for over 17 years, giving extra time and staying in spite of getting hardly any raises, and watching others come and go and still yet others get promotions and raises over him. that day was like any other day, except some women at work who didn't like larry for no particular reason (he was always polite and friendly to everyone) overheard him talking to Hughie about his unusual interest in women wearing casts. Larry didn't think anything of it and let it slip out of his mouth that he thought that particular woman (who didn't like Larry but he didn't know of that fact and didn't even know her name but described her physically by her age and the fact that she had a hearing aide), would looke really sexy with a cast. Overhearing him talking about her, she grew frightened and went to the human resources area and told them that Larry said something threatening about her that he wanted her to be wearing a cast (the only thing that went through the woman's mind was that Larry wanted to break her bones, not simply wear a cast the way one wears clothing).
The weekend went by and Larry went to work again on Monday, with Larry thinking nothing was unusual. After lunch, in the afternoon, Larry went about his filing tasks and while he was in the file room, his boss summoned him to come with her to the HR area. The people in charge asked him about what he had said to Hughie about the woman who would look great in a cast, and what he was copying on the copier after work. Larry turned pale as a ghost and started trembling. After all, he didn't want to lose his job and ne never bothered anybody and only made a few photocopies of some photos of his on a copy machine after work hours discreetly. They asked himn about the nature of what he was copying and asked him to show it. He told them he had a folder of some files in the bucket in the file room where he was working (he was intending to make a few more copies after work as he couldn't really afford to make the copies at the local stationery supply store due to his low pay). Larry didn't realize those "free" copies were about to become very expensive, because when they saw the folder of printouts of photos taken from the internet of women wearing casts, the later decided to fire him after suspending him for a few days!
So, months after this happened, Larry had all that time to think about waht he had done and how expensive his "free" hobby became of collecting photos pf women wearing casts, that he lost his job and now his unemployment benefits which he had to fight for had run out and now he had to depend on handouts from his mother and borrow from others. He prayed every day that something would change and it certainly did, in ways he never expected!

Larry woke up on March 20, in a very disgusted mood. He still didn't get hired by anyone, everyone was getting on his case about not trying hard to find a job even though he was trying as hard as he possibly could to finf a job with at least pay SOMEWHAT close to what he had before, to no avail. He decided to take a longshot and take the subway into the city and maybe he'd find a place with a help wanted ad outside. He had already tried the major employers in town and no one called him back at all! It was a very seasonably warm day for March 20, the first official day of spring, being forecast to reach into the high 70's fahrenheit degrees, andjust about everyone was wearing short sleeves with no jackets, and the pretty ladies were wearing miniskirts to work. Ordinarily Larry would have paid close attention to this as he was an avid girl watcher and wanted to meet a nice attracted girl but on this day, he was totally distracted from it. He blandly looked ahead of himself as the train stop at and left each station until his final stop arrived. He got off and just as he stepped on the platform, he heard a pleasant female voice speaking in a plaintive tone. He turned a saw a beautiful blonde asking him, of all people, for directions to a particular hospital, the very one Larry was heading to in order to apply for a billing/customer service job! The hospital was reknowned for orthopedics and Larry saw, out of the corner of his eye, while giving directions, part of a cut arm cast sticking out of her carrying bag! He said, "I hate to be nosy, but did you break an arm or something? I see a cast in your bag!" Turning red, the girl tried to blow him off, saying, "oh, its a long story and you probably wouldn't be interested anyway! I'm kinda in a rush and I have to meet someone". Larry replied, "I happen to be heading to that same hospital anyway because I'm looking for a job. Do you know a person who works there who could help me?" She replied I don't knowif she can help you, but she does work in orthopedics as the lead castroom person and we both go way back knowing each other in college at Northwest U. I'll introduce you to her and maybe she can hook you up with someone in HR!"
Larry then walked with her up the stairs to the trolley line and waited with her for the next trolley that goes a couple of blocks down the hill from the hospital. A trolley arrived, and they both boarded it and sat on a double seat next to each other. After a couple of stops they finally introduced themselves to each other, the girl's name was Martha and she was from Chicago, and her friend from college, whom she finally re-acquainted herself with via the internet, was inviting her to check out her office at lunch time. This all sounded very ordinary to Larry, until Martha blurted out something that made Larry almost choke on the banana he was eating.
She said "It really sucks sometimes when all you want to do is wear a cast!"
Larry couldn't believe his ears. Was he dreaming or was he actually talking to a girl who was a fellow caster? He asked her, "What do you mean about wanting to wear a cast?" trying to appear innocent and not too eager. "she explained " I happen to have an unusual hobby that I share with my friend. She studied allied health in school and became a medical assistant and then learned how to apply casts. I let her practice on me all the time, and she had me put a few casts on her so she could get the "feel" of wearing them! I love them because the plaster ones feel so warm and cozy. You wouldn't believe how warm your legs feel with casts on them on a cold day!" Suddenly, Larry's privates got hard and he tried to hide it so he wouldn't embarass himself. She noticed anyway, and grinned, and said, "Hey Larry, I think we gort something in common. You'll LOVE to meet Kendra!"
The trolley arrived at the stop they were headed for and they got off the trolley and crossed the street and talked the whole way up the hill about school and work and agreed to talk about casts later when they met with Kendra. They reached the hospital grounds high up on the hill 20 minutes later, and walked down the lengthy corridors and finally arived at the castroom. A solidly built but attractive woman greeted them, smiling broadly, Martha introduced her to Larry as Kendra. Martha and Kendra hugged each other, giggling like little girls. It was going to be a slow afternoon in the castroom and that was the way the 2 preferred it. Kendra, having authority as the lead castroom person, had Larry put on a uniform and allowed him to observe as a trainee, as she now knew that Martha regarded him as a friend and anyone Martha regarded as a friend, so did Kendra.
Martha would get herself casted after the official day was over, so that all "official" appointments could be carried out. Larry watched as Kendra put casts on 3 men and 7 women, most were short leg and short arm casts which were very common but there was one young teenage girl who had broken both arms and needed both casts replaced with new long arm cass. She was the last official patient and Larry enjoyed helping out immensely.

The end of the official work day was at 4:00 pm. Larry filled out his employment application, and Kendra promised tat she would do everything to help Larry get the job and he agreed the starting pay could be $13.00 per hour which was the general starting pay of an orthopedic tech. She had a provision where one could get college credits toward accreditation, and had Larry fill out the forms as Kendra was certified as a teacher with the local medical school. Larry finished his application at 4:10 and Martha got up and said, beaming, "I'm ready now, Kendra!" Martha had Kendra pick a slip out of a upside down baseball cap what kind of cast configuration she would get. The slip pulled out said "2 long arm casts" which happened to be Larry's favorite. Martha pulled off her blouse and Kendra promptly started putting on stockinette on each arm, and then the cast padding. The casts would be very high up almost to the armpits and would cover the thumb on the left and the small and ring fingers on the right arm. It took about 20 minutes to apply each cast in full, and Kendra applied green fberglass cast bandages over the first layers of white. This was Martha's second time having a pair of long arm casts, but the last time she only wore them for a weekend. This time, she was planning to wear them for the full usual length of 6 to 8 weeks. Kendra helped Martha put on a tank-top which didn't have the difficulties of jamming the casts through sleeves. Martha studied her newly stiff, casted arms and was very happy with them. She also asked Kendra to put them in slings which she promptky did.

Martha, after admiring her casts for a very long 5 minutes, suddely looked up at her old friend Kendta with an alarmed look on her face. "What do I do about work?! I'm a typist and they expect me to be there typing away. I couldn't even pick up a pencil with these casts, let alone type at 55 words per minute!" While saying these, Martha demontratively flexed her free fingers which, while free, were still restricted by the casts nearest to the knuckles. Larry grew excited again while watching this, and Martha noticed his shy grin at that moment. Larry then said, "Maybe you can get a leave of absence or have them give you different assignments." Kendra interrupted him and said, "I can give paper work documenting that you broke both arms and cannot perform your work duties for whatever length of time you want to be in the casts. One of the doctors can do it on his stationery if you either do a favor for him or pay a certain extra amount. He caters to recreational casters all the time!" Martha looked astonished at this comment replied, "You never told me that you knew other casters like us!!!' To which Kendra said, "Martha, don't you remember that we haven't seen each other since we were roommates in college, BEFORE the Internet! Now there is a whole slew of websites that literally thousands of casters belong to, websites like CastCentral, OAG and CastStory site about people who are just like us! You mean that you STILL haven't gotten yourself a computer???"
Martha sheepishly grinned and said, "No, I guess I'm still living in the dark ages! I only been using the old casts from college when I want to pretend, but they're getting really ratty and worn. I'll need some new ones and new types really soon." Kendra offered to have Martha and Larry stay over her house which she explained, "Y'know, you two can both stay over my place! I happen to have a new large house in Blemont which I inherited from my aunt. It's so huge, I have 3 extra bedrooms. Larry can stay for nothing until he gets on his feet financially but he can help by doing housework and yardwork for me and you can stay and help with the rent from your paychecks for different bils. Larry and I will help you take care of yourself. I happened to make it handicapped accessible on a whim with some extra money I inherited! I kinda expected that we'd hook up again and start up where we left off!" upon hearing this, Martha remembered," Hey Kendra!I just remembered that my lease is up 2 months from now. I can give my landlord this paperwork too! I know he'll let me out of my lease earky just for seeing me with thses casts! He always seems to pay extra attention when he sees me wearing my casts or braces on my pretending trips!" Kendra interrupted and said, "Well, Martha, let me call Dr Franks and he'll even do the paperwork right now. He usually stays an extra hour filling out his own insurance forms and ties up other loose ends at the end of the day!" She then picked up the office phone and was able to speak directly to Dr Franks, saying "Hi Dr Franks! I just got together again with my old college casting buddy Martha. She needs some papers filled out for work and her landlord!" Kendra set the phone on speaker phone so Larry and Martha could hear him, replying excitedly "Really!!? I be right down to the castroom in about 10 minutes. Tell me, what was her injury!" Kendra answered, "She fractured both radiuses and ulna's and 2 proximal phalangess well as her sesamoid bone.! I applied two fiberglass long arm finger/thumb spica casts as well as 2 slings. She seems to have no distress but will be totally disabled for 2 months!" Dr Franks said, in an elated tone, I'll make sure the Xrays are filed properly as well as her necessary paperwork, for my usual fee, which i'll discuss with the patient."
Dr Franks arrived in the castroom as he promised, 15 minutes later with a large file under his arm. He introduced himself to Martha who seemed very attracted to the tall, blonde germanic looking doctor who had a very attactive, lean, athletic physique as well as being athletic, which Martha's form complemented nicely. Dr Franks saw her eying him up amd down his 6'3" frame and said, "Sorry, Ms Greenberg, I'm married, but I'll tell you what you can do in exchange for the paperwork. He sat her down and explained his website, which he ran under the moniker "Dr Frankencast". He explained to her that he was a photographer and needed models. No nudity but he needed models to pose in their casts and he made extra money on the side, which paid some bills with as well as his nonmedical casting supplies so he wouldn't get in trouble with the hospital. Everything had to be kept quiet because of the phony paperwork though, and he would supply her with any cast she wanted to be in, paperwork and situations as well as extra medical equipment he could rent for her, in exchange for her modeling services. Martha saw this as a dream come true and readily agreed, and Kendra mentioned about Larry needing a job and that he was Martha's out-of-work boyfriend to him. Dr Franken interviewed Larry, and hearing about his background, agreed to train him in the college credit orthopedic technician program and would waive the fee, because of Larry's mutual interest.

A medical dictation was made for the "treatment" regimen of Martha's "injuries" in order for there to be back-up documentation and a copy was made of the x-rays on a special duplicator Dr Franks kept in his office, as he often had to send copies of his x-rays to consulting physicians out of state and he didn't want the originals lost. It was the hospital's policy anyway to require copies. It's just that the backup details were changed so that it seemed that the injuries were actually Martha's and Martha would have it as back-up for her employer. She didn't realize that her boss, Harvey,was a regular correspondent to Dr Franks website. The medical records were put through as a priority and would be transcribed the next business day, to be available for Martha's boss the day after that. Martha left with Larry and Kendra to go to Kendra's house in Blemont. It took about a alf hour ride after rush hour to get to Blemont from Missionary Hill Hospital, and arriving at her beautiful modernized Victorian mansion, The very first thing Kkendra showed to Martha was the newly installed handicapped wheelchair ramp and the modern wide entry door. Everything else for the first floor was modernized to accodmodate a wheelchair bound person, including the kitchen and bathroom. The first floor bedroom was converted into a virtual at-home hospital room. Martha was told that would be her bedroom and Martha promptly put her few items on hand into a drawer in a hospital-type holding chest.
Larry and Martha studied the room, transfixed on the room's extensive hospital atmosphere as Kendra stood aside, beaming with her arms crossed. A hospital bed stood with a traction frame, and there was a stand for an IV. Kendra told her that other equipment would be placed there, given different scenario's that one or the other might want to be placed in. Martha requested that she be allowed to sleep in a different room, until such scenario's came up, because she didn't want to spoil the future fun she would have. Kendra understood and agreed that Martha could sleep on the couch during "normal" times. After that was agreed upon, they all went upstairs to Kendra's walk-in closet in her bedroom, It was converted from a small extra bedroom commonly used for babies at the turn of the 20th century. All Larry and Martha could see after seeing the non-clothing contents on the other side of the huge "closet" was "omigod!!!" in unison. There were about 45 casts kept there along with various orthotics and prosthetics that Kendra had collected over the years, with the help of Dr Franks and her bidding on EBay, ranging from long and short arm and leg casts, and full length leg braces to a double set of battery powered Shoulder disarticualtion hook prosthetics and a halo brace with its molded plastic body vest! Since Kendra was a large, big boned woman and Martha had a slim, athletic build, Martha felt bad that she could never fit in the casts, braces and prosthetics, and blurted that out. Larry looked on, with his mouth agape. He looked like he was experiencing an overload of information. Kendra said, smiling, " you won't have to worry about getting any kind of article of your own. Just tell me and we can get one or make one. By the way, some of these actually would fit you, as I bought some of them on Ebay just to collect them, and I know they'd be a very close fit. I always had you in mind when I bought those, 'cause I wanted to do our thing again just as we did back in college.
Larry then asked, "could you tell me about some of the things both of you did in college for fun with casts and stuff?" Kendra chuckled and said,"sure! let's go in the entertainment room and we'll share our stories with you!"

As they were ready to walk into the entertainment room, Marth's nose began to itch. Since her arms were totally immobile, both being covered in fiberglass from her armpits to midway on her fingers and thumb on the right and on her left thumb and right small fingers and thumb, she couldn't possible scratch it. She asked Larry to scratch it for her, and then her upper arm itched and he scratched that as well. Then he said she was thirsty and Larry had to hold the cup of wter and have her drink from it, since she couln't hold a cup at all. Some would be frustrated about the disability, but Larry and Martha thoroughly enjoyed the caretaker/patient role playing. Kendra instantly observed the obvious enjoyment they both displayed in their eyes and Kendra relished being able to ajoy that shared feeling again, as Kendra and Martha were closer as friends and understood each other more than each of their own families, and now Larry shared that same feeling as well!
Martha started with the day Kendra came up to the southwest dormitory room on crutches, back in 1985, at UMass. She also had a knee splint on. Martha asked her what happened and Kendra said, cautiously, "I sprained my knee playing basketball!" Larry interjected, saying, "I went to that college too! I used to take pictures of girls with casts, whenever I saw them. I never saw either of you in a cast. Weren't you ever on the main part of campuswith one on you?" Martha said, "we'll get to that later", then added,"anyway, a few hours later, I went to get my boyfriend to show him my dorm room." I looked over, and I saw Kendra walking perfectly normally, wearing her shorts WITHOUT her kneebrace! I asked Kendra, did your knee heal already from this afternoon? Kendra's face turned deep red from embarassment and she admitted that she never really was hurt but liked to fool around with crutches and braces and pretend to be injured once in a while! I was fascinated with that, as I had always wanted to wear a cast but I didn't want have to break a bone to do so. Telling her that, Kendra explained to her that she didn't have to. All she had to do was buy the equipment and supplies at local pharmacy and medical supplies stores and other things in want ads and flea markets and yard sales. She told me about her collection at that point and I said that would be neat, but I had very little extra money, coming from a poor family! Kendra said she'd share with me as her family was fairly well-to-do and she had her own credit card and her father sent her a substantial stipend every month as well!"
So Larry asked, when were you first able to cast each other? I absolutely know I never saw either of you in casts on campus, plus I graduated in 1986 anyway!!!"
Kendra explained," We started out small, with ace bandages and just did in in our dorm room aftger hours so no one would ask questions. We decided to move off campus as roommates at the Dandywine Apartments the following year. As it turned out,. I had first met Dr franks who was starting his orthopedics practice that year. I banged my hand on a wall when I puched it and had a deep bone bruise. I asked Dr Franks for a cast, and he asked why, as so many people didn't like casts, and I said I happened to always want one, so he put one that covered my entire hand. I had to wear it for that whole summer. I had the cast removed on Labor Day, just before fall semester started, so no one saw it except those in my hometown. He asked me if I wanted a job during winter break and I agreed and he started training me in his castroom, by casting me as a demonstration. I was able to get 2 long arm casts and two long leg casts, which I requested and was able to take them to school. He wrote up a note saying I had a bone condition, and I was able to go around campus in a wheelchair, with both legs in casts or braces, from fall semester 1986 onward. That's why you never saw me in that condition!" Martha added,"Seeing her in casts for the fist time that fall, I asked Kendra where I could get casted as well. Martha said you can and I'll prepare you! She suggested that I start walking around with a severe limp and grimace as though in pain whereever I went, and rub each knee and elbow and wince too. I put on a good show, but didn't go to the school clinic because I knew nothing would show up because I was only pretending about the whole thing! I finally went to Dr Franks's clinic during Thanksgiving break, on Friday, and he made a double long leg cast set with a bar across the legs and casted my left arm as well! I couldn't walk at all for 4 weeks, nor wear underwear and had to use a safety pin on a cloth for modesty! I was confined to a wheelchair, and I had the campus disabilities office provide an escort to push the wheelchair and give me rides. I had to discard the cast, even though it was my favorite, because it was so huge. I'd love to have a replica of that again someday!" Kendra and Martha giggled as Larry shot a load in his pants, wetting them.

Larry had to hold on despite his wet pantsm because he had nothing else to change into. Martha explained some other casting adventures they both did, and explained that she kept the disability charade up the whole time during her UMass attendance right up to graduation. She toned it down a little at bit by bit that last year of school so that it would seem she was getting better, so she would be able to go to work, and likewise did Kendra with her braces routine. After graduation, Kendra went back home to the Boston area and Martha in Chicago. They wrote to each other a couple of times and finally intersected again at a Chicago internet cafe this pastyear by e-mail, as Martha never got a computer. Kendra then had Larry come into the study and she started showing Martha the various cast and disabled devotee websites, with Larry showing some of his favorites also. After their talk and showing time, Kendra took Larry to Stop and Shop and later his house where he picked up his belongings. Larry had his own bedroom upstairs and wanted to try out a male back orthosis and she found one which was a CTLSO (Cervical-Thoracic-lumboSacral Orthosis) and he slept with it on to get the feel of it, It was almost a perfect fit and larry was delighted.
He tried it with 2 HKAFO braces wich were female but because Larry was slender, they fit him almost perfectly as well! Martha laid on the couch with her arms casted as they would be for the next 2 months. The followoing morning, they went to the hospital to get the transcribed medical records and letter to bring to Harvey, her boss.
He was also a devotee and admitted it privately and said, ok, what I know is between you and me. Have your time off and enjoy and he signed off on her disability and gave her a new assignmetn because I wanted to have her there everyday at work so he could observe her in her Long arm casts!

Martha was now doing he job with part time hours, filing, instead of typing. She was able to move her arms, however clumsily with the large casts and do a small amount of filing. Of course, she was by far the least productive worker in the filing area, but Hrvey, the boss didn't mind. Whem Sherry, the chief filing person complained that all Martha was doing was getting in the way, Harvey appeased Sherry by having her do assignments closer to his desk. That way, he could watch Martha and her casts, and keep peace in the office. Martha didn't mind the reduction in hours as he family was already wealthy and an aunt had just died and Martha was set to inherit about 3 million dollars. That would tide her over indefinitely and enable her to buy most of her desired orthotic and prosthetic toys. The money from the will arrived just in time, as Harvey had fallen ill and had to take an indefinite leave of absence from the company. The new boss, who was a nephew of the owner, soon gave Martha an ultimatum, either she'd have to go on total disability until she's better or would have to quit her job. Martha decided to go on total disability and had to ask Kendra for a special favor from Dr Franks. They talked it over and decided to go the "planned surgery" route. Papers were written up about Martha's degenerative bone disease, of nonabsorption of calcium, making he liable to spontaneous fractures of which occurred to her legs, plus her arms had never healed. Martha's "surgery' was "scheduled" for August 4, and she was placed in two long leg casts, bent at the knees at a 30 degree angle,which went almost to the groin and pins were inserted in the casts, but actually bent around the legs, and under the plaster, giving the illusion of pins through the tibia bones in each leg. A bar was fixed across the legs making it impossible for her to walk, and both arm casts were replaced with plaster ones, which also had pins inserted in them. They were both long arm casts and went from almost the fingertips to the armpits. The papers stated that Martha would be bedridden in traction and on an IV, as she also sustained a fracture of the jaw while eating walnuts and had to have her jaws wired shut. Martha's hospital bedroom was readied and after stayin in the hospital for "Observation" for 2 days, Martha was brought home. She was then said to have an allergic reaction of some sort post-surgery, affecting her respiratory system and now had to be intubated with a endotracheal tube to a respirator. The tube was inserted into her throat for real and even though she had a horrible chocking sensation while it was inserted all the way down, and then taped over her face where it emerged from her mouth, making it impossible to talk, Martha greatly enjoyed it along with the catheter because they gave her the full invalid/patient feeling.

Larry and Kendra split the chores of taking care of Martha. Kendra trained him in all aspects of care and this also would help in his ongoing medical assistant training, as Kendra was a certified instructor in that field along with Dr Franks. Kendra showed Larry how to monitor the respirator to make sure the right amounts of oxygen was going through the system and into Martha, and showed him where to insert the IV tube and how to insert the Foley indwelling catheter. Larry took the day shift while Kendra worked, but Kendra took a week's vacation to make sure Lary had mastered all the tasks at hand, so that she could feel confident that Martha was in goood hands while Kendra would be at work the following 8 weeks. Kendra assumed the "evening shift" after she came home from work. Martha, even though she was bored during the weeks she was almost totally immobilized with tubes in her, nevertheless relished that helpless feeling she had and desired even more of it. Kendra sensed this even though Martha couldn't say anything, having the breathing tube taped through the very small opening between her solidly wired jaws, which were to remain wired for 4 months. After 4 weeks of eing bed-bound, the tubes were removed and Martha would be "allowed" some time to go about in a wheelchair. Larry enjoyed taking Martha out with the hlp of a chaircar provided, dring which Larry would wheel her around Boston Common and almost everyone was astounded by the sheer siza of Martha's casts and how much they covered. She couldn't wear any underwear because of the bar bwtween the legs so she had to have a small sheet put there for modesty's sake. She had one arm cast reduced to a short arm cast and a standard long arm cast for the other arm. The bar was removed after 6 weeks and regular long leg fiberglass casts were put on. She made a visit to her work place where a get well party was organized and everyone signed her casts. Even Harvey was able to make it, though her was in a wheelchair himself.
