The Cast is OFF, The Cast is OFF!!!

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.

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!!!!
