Letter #3 from Phyllis - Montreal

 

Dear JD,

I really had a great time in Montreal last week. Took my short arm cast with thumb spica since it's so easy to pack. Wednesday afternoon we finished early with our casting seminar so I put on my SAC and went sightseeing.

Boy, the people there sure are hard to understand. Luckily I met a nice fellow named Jean-Claude at a little French style cafe. Would you believe they have those in Montreal too? Spotted him right away with his long legcast. As I approached he smiled and said something like 'Cast to a bra?'*. I was shocked, and replied. 'I BEG your pardon?'   But he quickly explained he was just asking about my arm. So I started to explain how I had dislocated my thumb and he asked me to sit down. By then I was so turned on by his LLC, I could hardly conceal my eagerness.

Jean-Claude said he broke his ankle about three months ago but it was almost well. Poor guy got a cramp in his foot and I had to message his toes for nearly an hour until it went away. He was so brave; in spite of his pain he offered to show me the sights of Montreal.

We had a swell time. Jean-Claude wanted to talk all evening about casting techniques. He said he's a coach for the Canadian Olympic Ski Team and over the years has had to wear numerous casts, so he's picked up a lot of the technical terms.

He wants his doctor to evaluate the CaraPlast products, so I'm sending him a bunch of samples to pass on to his doctor.

Well, it's getting late. I'll write soon.

Your Casting Cutie,
Phyllis
