The cast finally came off

Six weeks after Robbie broke his arm, his cast’s finally come off. We had all been looking forward to this moment. Well, Glen and I definitely had. Many of our walls seem to have some sort of plaster scratch / bump / mark at Robbie’s arm level. And he can start washing himself again (and doing up his buttons, and his tie…). As for Robbie’s attitude towards the cast coming off… on the one hand he’s looking forward to starting football and swimming again. On the other, he’s lost the best excuse he’s ever had to avoid writing at school and to take forever with his homework. Hopefully this will be another way to get back to normality.
