Jenna came to me this morning with a sad look on her face and said she needed to tell me something. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she had been scratching an itch on her leg (inside the cast) with a spoon, and the spoon fell in. Oh well, I told her, you get your cast off today, and I’m sure they’ve found weirder things inside casts than a spoon. But I did manage to reach a finger in there and pull the spoon back out, and she’s relieved. I think she was too embarrassed to have the doctor see a spoon falling out of the cast when they cut it off.
In other news, we went to the pet store to buy stuff for the new birds last night, and we also needed a few things for the other birds, and we ended up spending $43 on bird stuff! I should be glad, actually, because bird stuff is pretty cheap compared to dog stuff. When I mentioned that to Ryan, he agreed. “Yeah, if you had a dog, you’d have to get a whole new house for me.” Right.
Yay! Congratulations, Jenna! Jacob’s been praying every day for your leg to get better. I guess I can tell him now that he’s done his job, and Jacob can pray for something new now.
In elementary school my brother Tim and I had casts on our foot at clost to the same time. We used to drop pennies down our cast to itch our leg and there were definately some that didn’t make it out until the cast came off. Which it is pretty gross to see the green grunge it left on your leg from a penny camping out in a damp dark place against your skin for a few weeks! It seemed like a good idea at the time… Congratulations Jenna.
Oh, that’s gross. The x-ray tech lady who helped last time we took off the cast and got a new one put on said she sees all kind of things in those casts..Matchbox cars, crickets, worms. So, I guess she wouldn’t have been all that surprised to see a spoon.
