The cast is off!

Well, the big day finally arrived -- the cast is no more!

The leg doesn't look so hot right now, and Snorri will need to do a lot of moving to build his leg and toe muscles back up, but he's now able to move freely. His toes look pretty floppy (especially his middle one, which was broken during surgery and healed along with the leg), but he's beginning to realize that his leg is straight and that it's OK to walk on it:

A smaller cast

We're down to a very small bandage indeed; Snorri had x-rays to see how his leg is healing and he only needs another week with the wraps on. We're to let him walk a bit more this week, as he needs to put some weight on the leg in order to get the plate to 'set' before the bandage comes off.



So, no more crate, but he's being kept in the Kitten Sick-Room until the bandage is off, as jumping and running are still not part of the plan.
