After 8 weeks in a cast, my "Broken Elbow" girl is free at last!!!!
I am so upset at the amount of time they made us wait. We arrived at 3:15, to a FULL waiting room. I mean full. At capacity. People were standing. We sat on the FLOOR!!!
They called us in for cast removal and xrays at 3:30. Not so bad!! I was feeling like we were being "bumped up".
NOT!!!!
We then spent over 2 hours sitting on the floor waiting to get a room.
We spent that 2 hours putting lotion on the arm and then peeling little bits of dead skin off. LOL
Then we got chairs (b/c one lady brought her 2 kids under 3, her parents and a teen age girl. Yes, 6 people were needed for one person's appointment.) and I snapped a few pics of her waiting so patiently.

Here she is with her new arm xrays in the background:
And last but not least, a close up of the nasty rash and skin 8 weeks of cast wearing does to a person's skin.
Let's all say it, EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
No wonder she was always saying it felt like ants were crawling inside!!!!
No more casts for our family. Ever.
Way to go Linds! Glad you are free for the holidays; it'll take both arms to open presents and eat turkey.
