Mr. B’s cast comes off

We were both surprised to see that the rotary blade that cut through the fiberglass cast could be pressed against his finger without breaking the skin. He was glad to have the thing off after three weeks–four weeks after he broke his arm in a basketball game. Had to wash the arm, of course, as it smelled pretty bad, and scrub off some dead skin on his palm. But, after taking it easy this week, he’s expected to be back to playing basketball again real soon.
