popping cast update

[Guest guest]

We took off Marcus's cast Saturday night due to my worry of the popping sound I

was hearing from within the cast. We weren't really supposed to take it off

until Sunday, but since I had the s, I figured we would just put him in

the shoes until the appt. with the ortho. By the way, my husband was home this

time so we soaked the casts in some warm, soapy water. My husband unwrapped as

much of the cast as he could and then, (to my horror!) he said he had a little

electric saw that he would use to cut off the rest of the cast. I thought he was

nuts, but he kept insisting that it was similar to the cast saw they use at the

Dr's office. I was sweating bullets the whole time, but he took it off in less

than 2 minutes and without any problems. What a relief! Anyway, the foot looks

good. The toes seemed a little curled down again (probably just from the cast

again). It's just really hard for me to tell if the foot is 100% straight

(without that c-shape). I did the " V " test and I

didn't notice any difference between his left and right feet. But then again,

it's hard for me to judge the foot when it is just barely out of the cast. I

think it takes a few days before the shape of the foot really becomes visible.

It does look better though, so I will just wait to see what the ortho says this

afternoon. I didn't notice anything unusual in the knee or ankle area so I

really have no idea where that popping in the cast came from.
