Llazy Days

Well the big day arrived yesterday and I took Joan to Bountiful to have the cast removed. I wondered what kind of a saw they would use. The nurse pulled a vacuum can over to the table, It was something like a Shop Vac. except this had a hose with a tiny saw on the end. She explained to Joan where she was going to cut and quickly made to cuts. One on each side of the cast. I was curious about that saw. The blade was round and about two inches in diameter. She showed me that it was strictly a vibration that cut through the cast. The only way it could hurt is if it got onto the skin and the vibration could cause a burn . She had put on a load of bandage when she put the cast over it and the saw never went into the bandage. I'll bet that thing would be great on sheet rock. Well she was careful not to bother the little pearl that held the metal rod (that's what the Dr. called it) The Dr. removed the white pearl and left about a half inch of the metal rod sticking out of her wrist. He picked up a pair of pliers and pulled the metal rod out of her wrist. I was about the size of a large needle. When it was out of her wrist it was about three inches long. He said the wrist and hand looked great. It didn't look that great to me, but I am not a DR. The nurse gave her a brace to slip on and off of her hand. She already had one at home. The Dr. looked at his calendar and noted that his cadillac payment was due in two weeks, so he told Joan to come back in two weeks and then she will have to go back two weeks after that.
Her hand is doing well. she has a ton of dry skin to remove with lotion. The pain is gone and that is what counts.
We enjoyed Tony and Becky's short visit last night. They left about eight this morning. Becky and Lori will be back Thursday and stay until next Tuesday. we are looking forward to that. Tony and Kevin had to go back on Thursday.
My sweet peas are about ten inches high and I want to get them out of the kitchen today and plant them outside. They can stand a lot of cold weather and should have been planted last October. They are taking up a lot of space on the counter. My pansies are about an inch high and it will take another week or so to put them outside.
That is about all that is happening in our household. When DJ gets here I am going to have him finish the wiring of the light on our flag as well as replace all of the batteries in the smoke alarms. Hope all of you have a happy day. Love ya Bruno.
