It's been a big day today in our house... you might almost call it second Christmas. Today at about 9.00am Boo got her cast off. Whilst it was incredibly exciting for me, it was all a bit traumatic for Boo.
The cast saw was loud and scary, then all of a sudden her legs were free and wobbly. With nothing to hold them in place her muscles were screaming as they stretched. Poor Boo - I've never heard her cry with pain before. But true to form, within an hour or so and it was all smiles and giggles.
Her legs have literally not stopped moving. From her toes to her ankles to her knees, shes been wiggling away all afternoon and it is just beautiful to watch.
Apart from some dry skin, a few crumbs, and one rogue hair clip the cast wasn't as awful as I thought it would be after six weeks. Boo now has a brace that she needs to wear full time for the next six weeks. The bonus is that she has her legs free and can move around as much as she wants. We're also allowed to take it off for bathing and changing etc...
Mr T confirmed that her hip looked good, so fingers crossed this next six weeks is it for us.
Here's some pictures from today's roller coaster ride...
