We went and had my son's cast removed this morning. The saw she used totally confused me. It would not cut flesh, but cut through the fiberglass of his cast. How the hell does that work???

It's because the disc of the saw doesn't spin Sheryl, it vibrates.

I dont call mine a saw though:D

Glad your son finally got his cast off Sheryl. Remember the relief when mine came off

Ahh, she was explaining it but I was occupied keeping the 4 year old entertained.

Yes I'm glad to! They also pulled the pins out today. My son just sat there and watched them do it. I would of requested some serious pain meds before letting someone yank a couple metal wires out of my bone.

He sounds like he coped far better than I'd have done. Children are remarkable for what they can put up with, I'm sure he was more interested than distressed. You're the one who's been more upset, I'd guess.

Wow, I hope he is enjoying the use of his arm now! It sounds like another modern marvel, that saw.

Those saws are awesome be very glad they don't cut flesh. Glad he has the cast of and can get back to what 4 year olds do. :p
