Bet y'all ain't ever used these like this

[SBMF 2015]

So long story short; I tripped and fell pretty hard a few weeks ago. Finally got tired of it not getting better. Went to express care and they X-rayed my arm. No fracture, but they think I tore the ligaments. They told me to wear a brace. If it doesn't get better in a couple weeks then they want to do an MRI.

With the brace on I can button my sleeve. It drives me nuts. So I got creative with a couple Callicrate bands this morning.

Nope, but that's better than the cast I wore from memorial day to labor day a couple years ago when I tore my TCC in my wrist. Pop goes the cartilage!!

If you have to get a cast, the camouflage one it was freakishly popular with the woman in Central Oregon!

Years ago, a guy I knew had a similiar problem and his wife used one of the red canning jar rings slid up over his shirt sleeve because that is what they had handy....
I like the band though... pretty ingenious

People can get creative. You suppose this was repurposed, or first use?

Nothing new.
50 years ago, I used a condom to cover the muzzle of m-14 and m-16 rifles to keep the water out.
