Lucas Gets His Cast Off!

It was an exciting day for Lucas ... he got his cast off! His ulna has healed nicely and while he still has activity restrictions for another month, he should make a complete recovery. 

First step: cutting the cast (almost like scoring it with a circular blade that doesn't cut deep)



Second: Prying it wider...with a tool that does the opposite of pliers.


Third: Snipping the under layers of gauze with scissors.


Fourth: ITCH! SCRATCH! Then get told by the doctor NOT to scratch it.


He did not want to keep it. Phew!


Good as new!
