So I’ve been wearing this short arm cast for 4 weeks on Sunday (1113).  I can’t believe how much this thing bothers me.  I’m extremely claustrophobic and having this plastic touching my skin is unbearable.  The first few days was very hard,  As I come down to the last few days, it’s even worse!

Amazingly, the cast is fairly clean and in good shape.  No one has asked to sign it.  It’s dark blue anyway and I don’t have a light colored marker.  That’s alright.  I’m not planning on keeping it.  My son thought he might want it, but changed his mind. 

So Tuesday is the big day.  The doctor is removing the cast to do x-rays.  If things continued to look good with the crack at my wrist, I’ll just have to wear a removable splint.  I pray it looks alright.

I really only have pain when I overuse the hand.  Even then, the pain is not around the break or where I knocked the little knob off the other side of my wrist!  Seems strange, but I hope it gets better when the cast is off.

So Tuesday is Happy Cast Off Day and some freedom.  Maybe I’ll have to celebrate with a margarita!
