figured that, but was surprised at how much that was true after just 4 weeks.\u00a0 Oh man, my arm was so sore!\u00a0 I also was not prepared for the alien feeling I had after the cast came off.\u00a0 Was that my arm?\u00a0 It did look pretty good after the cast came off though.\u00a0 X-rays showed marked healing, so\u00a0I got a removable splint.\u00a0 Yeah!<\/p>\n<p>So a few hours later, my arm started to slough skin!\u00a0 The doctor said to let it come off naturally and not scrub it off.\u00a0 Otherwise, you end up with a sunburn effect.\u00a0 I have enough pain for that.<\/p>\n<p>Rich decided to take the day off.\u00a0 Something about too much vacation days left and not enough time to burn them.\u00a0 He had a dentist appointment so he didn&#8217;t go with me to my appointment.\u00a0 I&#8217;m a big girl.\u00a0 When I got back, Rich was gone and only Sascha was home.\u00a0 She was tired though and I wondered why.\u00a0 Found out later that they had gone scootering this morning.\u00a0 Rich reported that she was happy, if somewhat tired.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_322\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-322\" style=\"width: 300px\"
