Cast Off!

The blade doesn't rotate, it just vibrates, we were relieved to learn.
Doc said he hasn't cut anybody. . . yet.

Killing time in the cast room.
Examining the tools.

One month after a nasty slip on her way to the mailbox, Katie's cast was removed today. X-rays proved a good healing process is under way around the hairline wrist fracture. Katie's Doc split the fiberglas using a skil saw before applying a pry bar.

Painless, she said. A couple of weeks in a soft cast and some gentle exercises and she'll be as good as new. Nothing like the agony of her luckless sisters-in-law, who have preceded her in a nasty assortment of wrist fractures and ankle breaks.
