What's amazing about this photo?? Do you know?Joule has a left front arm! A whole, intact, twistable, walk-on-able arm!!! No more cast!! Its soooo exciting!
I've known since early last week that there was a "chance" he was getting his cast off this Saturday. Chad and I had been counting down the days. In fact, if Joule could speak english, I am sure he would have been as antsy as we were come Saturday afternoon.
It was a quick visit - basically informing us that all was well, and it was at last time for the cast to come off... pretty much regardless of the bone. See his cast sores were getting pretty bad, and probably couldn't have lasted, without opening or infecting, another week. His almost ulcers and hairless arm are bothering him so much that he wants to lick and chew the arm off! So with the good news of the no cast, came the bad news of the return of his helmet (the cone).
So now he pouts... phantom licks... and follows us around the house just BEGGING us to take it off... but we endure, cause oh my gosh, he finally has his arm back, and by golly we are going to KEEP it in one, healthy piece!
