How Many?

How many tools/gadgets does it take to get a pen cap out of a cast?



The answer: A LOT plus A LOT of patience!! :)

Austin came home from school with a pen cap stuck in his cast the other day. It took an hour to get that little thing out. We tried everything in the kitchen and bathroom. Finally, the plastic tweezers from the first aid kit did the trick.

Lesson learned: If you need to scratch your arm, don't use something that will come apart in the cast. :)

As I was trying to get the pen cap out, I was wondering just what kind of things the doctors and nurses have found in casts. I'm pretty sure it has been some very interesting things, to say the least.
