Jacob loses the cast


Jacob loses the cast, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

Today's adventure: Jacob gets his cast off. The nurse used a little rotary saw that freaked us both out, until she ran it directly over his skin to show us that it couldn't cut through flesh. Scary...

Cell phone camera today. Forgot the Nikon. Worked out as it whited out all backgrounds making a better b&w pic. Click on the thumbnail below for close up of the blade.

I had a full leg cast once. Imagine where a full leg cast ends. A huge man with a saw in his hands assured me I would not be cut. I was interning at the time; I knew about saws that cut bone but not tissue (same principle), but that was small comfort. Yes, scary begins to describe it! :-)

Great photo!

I had many casts growing up, but no one ever thought to photograph the process of getting it or getting it off. Great photo, I love the look on his face!

He looks terrified and happy at the same time!

I really like the angle and composition of this one. I like how the "canvas" is divided into segments bu the two hands doing the cutting, the saw itself and the cast. Cool shot!
