The countdown till cast-off day began when Trish had two weeks left to go. Every morning she marked another square off on the calendar. And each day she reviewed the cards on her wall. Her father’s latest addition was from Proverbs 17:22. “A cheerful heart is good medicine.”

Trish reminded herself of that one when she felt the weights try to pile up on her shoulders again.

“Tomorrow, tomorrow, I’ll love you tomorrow,” Trish couldn’t stop singing. The cast would come off tomorrow. After the visit to the doctor’s office, she would be able to wear real clothes again. And take a shower. No more washing her hair in the sink.

The next morning in the doctor’s office, the buzzing of the saw sent shivers up and down her spine. What if he slips and cuts my arm while cutting through the cast?

“Don’t worry, Trish. I haven’t cut off any arms yet,” the doctor said, reading her mind. He turned off the saw and separated the two pieces of the cast.

“Yuck!” Trish looked from the stark white arm up to her mother and back again. “It looks terrible!”

“Let’s get that X-rayed,” the doctor said, inspecting the incision. “Then we’ll see what happens next.”

Trish laid her arm on the X-ray table. She stared at the grungy line around her thumb and across her fingers where she hadn’t been able to scrub. She really had a scar too, right along the top of her forearm.

“Okay.” The technician pushed open the door. “Got some good ones. You can go back up to the doctor’s office and wait for him to read them.”

Trish slipped her arm back into the sling with Marge’s help. Visions of riding again filled her mind as they waited for the elevator to reach the right floor. And tomorrow she’d wear the new sweater she’d gotten for Christmas. And jeans.

“I’m sorry, Trish.” The doctor studied the X-ray. “We’re going to have to cast you again. That bone just isn’t strong enough yet to take a chance on it.”
