Cast Claustrophobia No-More

Oh the glorious day has come!! My cast was removed on Friday. Woohoo. I can't even begin to tell you how fantastic it is to be able to scratch my arm, shower (bye-bye baths...Tyler will miss these I am sure), do my own hair, hug my baby without clocking her in the head, wear my wedding ring and a whole slew of other things that I have hither too taken for granted...like typing with two hands. (I hope you have appreciated my blogging because it took FOREVER to peck out the posts with one hand!)

The night before my cast was to be removed I let my family go at it with a sharpie. Here are a few pictures for posterity.




My doctor actually asked me if I wanted to save my cast after he removed it. Uh...no. Gross. Who would want to save their nasty old cast. But then I thought of my Aunt Bonnie and her jewelry box of horrors and I bet she probably has a cast or two saved right? Paul's maybe from when he was a baby? Needless to say I did not save mine and think that these pictures will suffice.

Sweet Freedom!!

I am thrilled to be out of a cast but it still hurts like crazy, doesn't bend whatsoever and looks nasty. There is still work to be done to get back to normal but it feels good to be on the mend. Yay for two hands!! Don't take them for granted!!
