cast woes

Post Reply New Topic

this is my newest addition, hopefully coming off this week. i feel like it can't come off soon enough.
normally, i take a bath and wash my hair every day. i can't stand feeling not clean.
i can't take a normal bath with the cast (it goes all the way up my leg) so i've been relying on spounge baths, which do not leave you with that wonderful clean feeling a proper bath does.
the only way i can wash my hair is if my mom washes it ibn the sink. while it feels nice to have a scalp massage, i hate having the ends of my hair touched. so i've only washed it once since this has been on.
i hate feeling not clean, and this cast is *definatly* not clean. where my foot is is already black inside since i went outdoors with it, and my leg is wicked sweaty and gros feeling.

has anyone else been in a cast and can offer some advice as to how to make it more bearable?

When I had a cast on my arm, I constantly had about 10 women surrounding me, fussing over me and wanting to take care of me and drive me places and kiss me better, and telling me how brave I was. Oh it was so wonderful!

Oh, you are female. Nevermind then!

lol! yeah that doesn't work... my three friends who are all male all said "what'd you do now?" on even wront "way to go" on my cast lol

I remember when I was 12, I had my left arm (I'm left handed too) in plaster cast after I broke it for about 6-7 weeks. In that time I had to learn how to write with my right hand as the school I went to did not accept the I cant write excuse. And sports lessons were boring as I couldnt do any sport. But the amount of signatures I got on my cast was amazing, I've actually kept it. When it got taken off, my arm was grubby from the dead skin and a bit weaker than the other arm. What made me laugh was how much thinner it was in comparison to the right arm and it took a good couple of months before it looked like the other arm again.
