Cast off

 For the weeks that Damonito had his cast on, he stopped tearing paper. His room was completely devoid of paper confetti. It was strange to walk into his room. No tiny pieces of paper stuck to your feet. He loves to shred paper, how could a silly broken arm keep him from doing something that makes him so focused?

For the days following the removal of his cast, he babied his arm. He still moved it by picking it up with his right arm. He just let it hang there like it was useless.

 When I went over for a visit last weekend I was surprised but pleased to see shredded paper everywhere in his room. He's using his left arm like nothing happened. And he's back to making confetti.
