Look, no cast!!

Well it has been 4 1/2 weeks since Tyler broke his arm and his cast is off. Bryce was in charge of taking him to the doctor yesterday to get it off. They got there 10minutes early and the girl at the front desk told him it would be an hour to an hour and a half wait. Well, that did not make Bryce too happy. They told Bryce they would give him a pager and they could go get ice cream at the cafeteria in the hospital to pass the time.

Bryce, as the business man, could see his precious time and money going down the tube as he waited, so he asked if they could just hurry and remove the cast and get an x-ray and they would be on their way. The doctor could call us later, after he looked at the x-ray if he needed to. Well, the girl kindly said that would not work because their wasn't even a room for them to take the cast off. Bryce was willing to get in done in the hallway, but they did not go for it.

So, Bryce and Tyler just left. Quite upset, I might add. I got a phone call as they were on their way back to Bryce's office. He told me what had happened and explained to me that he had plenty of "tools" at his shop to get the cast off. I couldn't believe my ears. He was going to take the cast off himself with his "tools"?!

Back at Bryce's shop they first tried to soak his arm in water and slide the cast off, which of course didn't work. So then they got a grinder and cut it off. Tyler called me and said that it was off. His cast that is, and I asked him if his arm was okay and he said everything was fine. Whew!!

I think I will be taking Tyler to the doctor from now on!
