well i went to the doctor this past friday. they pulled off the cast that went up to my arm pit and instead of putting me in a smaller cast like originally planned they sent me up to the physical therapist to get a brace made that i can take off to take showers! the doctor pulled out the two pins that were stickin out of my arm and was impressed with progress. i still will be off the bike for a few more months and wont start therapy till at least next month but things are looking good so im excited. after all is said and done i will be left with 2 pins, 4 screws and a metal plate. woo hoo!
