Just a quick post tonight. I met Vernon for a check-up on his arm at Newport Orthopedic Institute in Irvine. Dr. Leiber couldn’t be there this morning, so we met with his partner, Dr. Adler. Vernon’s brace and bandages have been off for two days in a row—I only assume he finally managed to twist his own way out of them. And his arm looked awful, still swollen and dark with stitches. But the x-ray showed all to be fine and the doctor said his arm looked like it’s healing as expected. (I’d taken a photo but now I don’t have the heart to show it. It looks pretty ghastly.)
I did ask the doctor if he’d be willing to cast it to keep it safe until next week’s check-up, where they are expected to remove the sutures. He obliged, as long as we promised that Vernon wouldn’t be sticking anything down his cast in order to itch it. I couldn’t imagine him getting ahold of anything long and/or sharp, so I assured him he’d be safe. I’m so glad we have it protected for another week. This is a relief indeed. Vernon picked his own color.

I had a cast on my arm when I was about 8 — it was fascinating all the things they found when it was taken off. A penny or two, a hot tamale, and various other items I figured I could fit in there. lol Vernon — behave! 😉
you did make me laugh jen!! ..Vern is working that out ..he is getting that cast off what ever anyone does …. on a positive ..it is keeping his brain active!!
i guess you aren`t laughing Allison!!???..but you know Vern will not be told what to do!!!
sending you all hugs xx
Praying for the best. It looks so swollen and angry but now safe. Hopefully he will leave it alone so it heals. My best to all of you.
Dear Ali,
Maybe the blue cast will stay on but they itches the person who is wearing to death. And I can go along with Vernon because he doesn’t thing on him. My Dad was in a cast from his hip all the way to his foot. May the week go fast and the cast will be off for him. God answer prayer regardless what it is for.
