Last night I went to the doctor to get my cast off! If you didn't know I broke my wrist snowboarding in January, well technically December 31. :) Anyway besides the point I got my cast off!!!
Right when we got into the room the nurse brought in the cast remover. It was this big blue tank thing and then there was what looked like a very sharp saw. I kinda was scared but then the nurse held it up to his arm and turned it on and it didn't cut him! Apparently it won't even cut through hockey tape!
So then I wasn't scared and he started to cut through it. It didn't hurt but it tickled a lot! The he to this clamp to spread it apart and I pulled my hand out and it felt SO good. I then washed my hands, (again it felt SO good), and they took me into the x-Ray room. Then the doctor told us the x-rays all looked good and we could go home!
Before we could though I had to get a removable brace which I just have to wear for 4 weeks when I'm doing sports ect.
After I got home I took a nice long hot shower. It was AMAZING to take a shower without a trash bag on my arm. :)
So yeah now my cast is off and I hopefully won't get a new one for many more years!!
