Allie got her cast off today, almost five weeks to the day after she fell off her scooter in the road in front of our neighbor's house and broke her leg. She pretty much had a cow while the physician's assistant did the cutting of the cast. She was almost hyperventilating.
Then she had to walk down the hall a bit to get an x-ray and at first, she wouldn't put any real weight on her left leg. It took some persuasion and some literal hand holding. Even tonight, when we went out to celebrate her freedom, she walks quite slowly and stiffly. I have high hopes for improvement over the next few days.
She doesn't have to go back to see the doctor again, unless things aren't looking up by four weeks from now. Hopefully, this little adventure is now past us.
We had cake tonight too to celebrate--the inscription says, "YAY, Allie!"

Good for Alex!
Here's to a cast free summer holiday. Glad she's mended.
