Well - that was traumatic.
We drive over to the hospital. We walk into the ortho trauma unit and she starts to scream - she's no dummy, she knows where she got the annoying cast in the first place - and scream and scream. So I put her in my arms on the floor and give her a hug. They come in with a vacuum/saw and turn it on. She screams louder - she doesn't like our vacuum either - and grips me tighter. They saw off the cast - which takes a while. She screams the whole time. Then they come in to do an xray. She tolerates this but screams a little bit. Finally, the ortho trauma doctor comes in and says it's fine but if she's not using it 100% in a week we come back in for therapy.
But she's happy now. So it was worth it.
