Default Cast designs required

Thanks to the desire to get fit for the new rugby season I have ended up with a double fracture to my right ankle! The details are boring but I will find out tomorrow if it's six weeks of regular cast or if it needs pinning first.
So, I then got to thinking about designs for the cast(s) that I shall be dragging around for the summer. I found casttoo.com who do heat transfers, and even ones of your actual x-ray, which look quite cool.
But I know there are a good few artistic bods on here that may have other/better suggestions.

Medial and lateral malleoli fractures?

The xray pic on a cast does sound really cool. If you get that done I'd love to see it / get a pic of it to put on the wall in our Casualty!!

It's the tib and fib that are fractured. Tib just above the ankle in an upside-down v, the fib has a small piece broken away right at the bottom. The Doc said it's too small to screw as it would shatter so I've got to wait a week and x-ray it again to see if it's displaced further or looks like it will heal naturally. Either way I'm imobile for the next 8ish weeks
