On Monday I finally got my up-to-the-armpit cast removed and got a shorter replacement. It looks kind of like an arm warmer one of the the Fame dancers would wear. But it's been great finally having my elbow back again (although painful getting it to bend like it's supposed to).
What I learned during my this visit to the doc: (1) having an X-ray technician with reasonable communication skills make a big difference; (2) it takes eight-to-ten weeks for new bone to completely form; (3) the six weeks I am supposed to be in a cast was really just a tease, because; (3) I am supposed to wear a forearm splint for at least two weeks after this deadweight is finally removed.
Bah.
