Is Flight Travel Advisable While Wearing A Hand Cast?
My daughter just got a hand cast on for a finger broken in 2 places. She is supposed to fly tomorrow so initially they told her not to and then put slits in the cast and told her to take a butter knife on plane and remove cast if swelling starts. The flight is LA to Seattle. Should she not fly or how long should she wait to fly? Weant her up on time for Christmas.
