MGH – Interesting ER
Easy does it... Lloyd tries pulling his arm out of the cast after the nurse has cut it and widened it.
I hoped to have Lloyd get his cast removed before leaving for Thunder Bay. Sunday I was going to bring him in but the nurse on emergency recommended that he wait to have it removed until an x-ray could be done as follow up during the same visit (makes good sense but I didn’t think of it). So Monday at my last visit to the er for pain meds before leaving town, Lloyd came along (as did Vickie and Emeraude which made it entertaining J) and was seen as well.
It was quite smelley under there as Emeraude found out when she took a look just a bit too close lol
The nurse was incredibly patient with all of us wanting to come along as she cut the cast off to watch (obviously I’m his Mom so that’s not a problem but she certainly didn’t have to go along with Emeraude & Vickie coming as well so it was nice that she did not mind…) Vickie was very interested as she had never seen a cast removed before and Emeraude of course likes to supervise any medical procedures and anything being done to her brother.
The nurse touched the vibrating ‘saw’ to show us all how it does not cut skin but only cast (too cool!)
…going to the hospital for pain meds… more when I return
