Ohh, the SMELL!

I have been debating the ethicalness of removing Nate's cast at home.  On the one hand: It is most likely healed, it didn't look too bad when he first broke it.  I don't want to pay to have superfluous x-rays and unnecessary office visits.  On the other hand:  What would I say when he breaks the same place the next week and I have to take him in and explain.

Nate made my decision for me.  He is showering right now. (Hallelujah!)  He has picked and chewed the cast for 5 long weeks.  Tonight he got his wrist free.  Hello dremel... Goodbye cast!
