 The long arm cast came off yesterday!  Here is a photo of "Larry", face drawn by Tatiana, my granddaughter. The only fun thing about Larry was that he glows in the dark. That was entertaining (for about 5 minutes). I was extremely happy to get rid of Larry, but not so happy to find out that another smaller cast ("Shorty") is taking his place.  And that I still wont be able to drive for another two weeks at least.  And that after this new cast will be a removable splint, and lots and lots of PT. Right now, after being in the cast for 4 weeks,  my arm will not straighten out and the muscles have already atrophied quite a bit. eeeuuu.. it looked like somebody else's arm!  Going to be hard work ahead to return to some semblance of normal.
