Green casts off, Black Cast on & Pin removal

Here are some pictures of Matt getting his green casts off.
Ewww...these are the pins they put in his hand to get the bones to heal. After they took x-rays to make sure all the bones are healing correctly, they put his left hand back in a cast and then the right hand (that had the pins) just gets a removable brace.
Now he has 1 black brace and 1 black cast.
I hope you are not squeamish because this little video I have posted here shows Matt's pins getting pulled out of his hand.

Cool watching the pin pulled out...glad he didn't cry! Tell Matt I am glad he is getting better one step at a time! Are there more casts in the future and how long does this one stay on and the brace?

Kinda grusome...glad he said it didn't hurt, but I wasn't sure if that was Matt saying that or the Dr.
