Mom's Day of Casting

Today, I took my mother to have her broken wrist put in a cast. When we arrived at the Orthopaedic doctor's office at 10:30 this morning, Dr. Ketz and assistant Stacey fixed mom right up with a spiffy green (the color of money~Mom's favorite color) cast. Do not take this off were the instructions to my mom.
Fast forward to late afternoon and we are back in the pleasant bone specialist's office because my mother somehow managed to pull the cast off while she was supposedly napping. Telling mom to not do something or to do something is a game that
is made up of people giving the instructions and any wall you would pick to play mom's part.
When I called the doctor's office to tell them the cast was off, they asked me to bring her back in. Now it is 5:15 and this time she has an above the elbow spiffy green,the color of money cast. The doctor and assistant Stacey told her do not take this cast off, not when you are sleeping, not any time. I reminded her of this several times riding home. She is now asleep in bed with the cast still on. Does this mean we got through to her? Will she remember what was said? Will we be visiting the nice bone people tomorrow? Will she be put in a full body cast?
Only time will tell.
