First he put a pad on my lap and torso then grabbed a saw to cut the cast off. This was the first time I saw the pins and I do not know how I did not pass out just looking at them. Today I think I would have. The doctor pulled out a huge pair of vise grips and I suddenly was scared as I knew these two foreign objects were coming out and it was not going to be pretty.
