Michael's Cast

Mike got his cast off on Friday. He was pretty excited to get it off, he was actually counting down the days. His ankle is pretty stiff and he has a little trouble walking on it, but it will get better. When they took the cast off, the blade that cuts it was tickling him so bad that he was shaking with laughter and the SMELL that came from his foot was HORRENDOUS!! But what can you expect when it wasn't bathed in 3 weeks! He is a little boy and you cannot keep him from playing no matter how hard you try! So there was 3 weeks of sweat built up in there and when it was released - well, just be happy that you live states away! Inside his cast there was gravel, wood chips and some black material we could not identify and the dirt that coated his foot was thick enough to grow vegetables in.
This was the picture of his foot after the nurse started washing it off. You can see the dirt between his toes!! (and where the cast had started to rub on his foot) I told him that we would have potatoes for dinner because that was what was growing between his toes.
