Allow me to tell you about my beloved Dr. Pap. He initially informed me I'd do a 6 week stint in my cast. But he gave me an unexpected prison release 2 weeks early for good behavior. I think he's aces. You will note my self-directed photo of him in action, taken on waning camera batteries by a hapless nurse. I shamelessly told her my little girl neighbors would thrill to the sight of my cast being sawed off. Can you imagine! The vibrating buzz saw was a bit scary even though I knew it would not pierce my skin. Once the dreaded encumbrance was off, my arm was revealed. Weak and a bit forlorn, but healing well. The occupational therapist promptly fit me with a lightweight splint: very high tech, made of thermo-something plastic, and custom-molded to my personal anatomy. I'm so damned happy to be free (of cast) at last!

Castaway!

Very confident in Dr. Pap aren't you? Even smiling while he was at work with the saw. If you only knew the stories that I know (only kidding of course). Don't forget to do your exercises. I know about not doing physical therapy exercises, as well. Is that a pink Utton Bay you're wearing? I dig it the most.
Accessories make the outfit.
