cast off!

Cast came off on Tuesday at 3ish... there was quite a line, but they got us through reasonably fast. When we went into the cast room, she started crying, non-stop.. I had to take her into the hall until they were really ready for us. It took two of us to hold her down. They sawed into the fiberglass, a line down each side, then used a pry-bar mini jaws of life to pry it apart. Then she cut the sock and padding, and she was free. Next a quick follow up x-ray (which she hated just the same as everything else)...

She pretty much started walking on it within a couple of hours, and still favors her formerly uncasted leg.. still limping, and still seems to get kind of tighter by then end of the day.
