Dude, if they said 8 weeks, keep it on for 8 weeks. PITA I know but usually it is for a good reason.

Dremels work wonders, but the doctor will inquire as to how your cast got all of the air holes. They will also look at you like you're crazy when you explain to the, that those are 'speed holes'.

An air powered cut off wheel works great for removing casts. It's probably better if you have a buddy help you out though.
I was actually surprised when the nurse said was glad she didn't have to bother taking mine off. Figured I was going to get b****** at for it.

I knew I should have put a bottle opener on my leg when it was in a cast...Then again I was drunk when I broke it...

That was my roommate earlier this year. The funny part was when he had to go to Florida for a job interview. That thing was epoxied on there so well we couldn't get it off without destroying the cast so he had to go through airport security and to his interviews with it on there.
