Today I had my cast removed. It was a little scary at first, but it was nice to see my arm again (even if it was only for a little while).

Once the cast was off, my arm was scrubbed down we headed to radiology for more X-rays.

More waiting...

It was pretty boring waiting for the cast to harden. I am glad to have the smaller cast and be able to bend my arm.

This time I went with a purple cast with a pink butterfly. Finally done, here is my second cast.

Another year, another injury

Wednesday was a crazy day. I was at recess playing on the sledding hill when a girl slipped and fell on top of me. I went to the nurse who called my Mom. After talking to Mom I felt better, and didn't want to leave school. I came home and was still hurting a little bit. Mom decided it was time to go to the Emergency Room. Dad came home from work and took me to the hospital. After getting X-rays taken, the doctor gave us the news, I had a buckle fracture to my Radius. I was sent home with a temporary soft cast and sling. On Friday I went in to get a hard cast that goes past my elbow. In 2-3 weeks I will get a new cast that goes below the elbow. I have to wear that cast for another 2-3 weeks. At least I got to pick out the colors.
