An early birthday present

I just got back from the doctor for a follow up on my hand. First of all, casty has gotten much smaller. It's now about the same size as the first cast, maybe even a bit smaller. But what's even better is that the cast and pin come out on September 6th. The day after my birthday. Aside from a little physical therapy, that'll be it. No more casts, splints, pins, etc...When you think about it, 4 weeks total for a broken bone really isn't that bad.
