Today Evelyn got her cast taken off her broken (well, not really broken anymore) arm! She still has to wear a splint for a couple of weeks and go to a few physical therapy sessions, but no big bulky cast anymore. Ev is really happy about that. She hasn't been in any pain since right after it happened, but having a cast on her arm made it harder to play.
Because of the severity of the break, the doctors thought she would need to be in a cast for a few more weeks beyond this. When she went in for her routine x-rays to check her progress, though, it was a lot better than they thought it would be. Like, so much better that they did another set of films to make sure it wasn't a mistake. No mistake, though. Her arm just healed really fast.
We're very happy for her! I'm going to bake her some cookies to celebrate. Yay for a swift recovery!
Love,
Felicity
Yay Evelyn! But remember to be careful, you don't want to re-injure it. Take care, Ev!

Thanks Emily!
ReplyDeleteI promise I will be very careful because I don't wanna wear a cast again!

Congratulations Evelyn! I'm sure you're so relieved to get that itchy cast off your arm!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your cookies and take it easy. Let the girls spoil you!
Hugs,

Félicitations, Evelyn! Having had a broken arm before, I know that you you are probably extremely glad that the cast is off! It felt so strange after I got mine taken off. My arm felt naked, lol.

Thanks, girls!
ReplyDeleteIt feels soooo much better! My arm itched all the time in the cast.
I'm glad I don't have that heavy thing on my arm anymore. The splint is much better because it's lighter, plus I can take it off for my bath. No more wrapping my arm in plastic bags and holding it out of the water. That was no fun! :-P
Love,
Evelyn
