The cast is off...
...but it's been replaced by a splint.
James' cast came off yesterday without incident -- they cut it right off, and James got to keep it as a memento. But the orthopod decided to put James in a splint for a week just to make sure his bones have healed right -- apparently the radiologist took a bad picture and the doctor couldn't tell if the bones have mended completely.
So James' arm stays wrapped when he's not getting wet, and yes, he did get his promised bath last night. At least for another week. Then hopefully we can get rid of the ace bandage and splint then too.
