Well, Grace and I went back to Triangle Orthopedics tonight to have her arm checked. They took the cast off, poked her arm a bit, and she jumped about a foot in the air and started her trademark "OUCHIE OUCHIE OUCHIE!" So, it's a "real" cast for Miss Grace. Luckily, it doesn't slow her down much, she's been cleared to play basketball and do anything else she feels like (as the doctor said, "The one thing I can guarantee is that she won't break THAT wrist!"), and she can even get in the pool when she's in Florida over Thanksgiving, she just can't immerse her arm. So, all things considered, it's not as bad as it could be.
The doctor and the tech were both a little disappointed her her choice of color: they prefer a slightly darker shade of blue (about 12 miles to the northeast darker....), but she held her own, and got her Carolina Blue cast!
