Hmm I have never broke a bone before, so I have not experencied this, however I have had many friends that have had casts threw the years. Most of the people I know wraped the cast up in a garbage back and took a shower, making sure it was tied tight to the arm so that no water would get in. I have tied many a friends shoes when they couldn't so no help there sorry....well I hope everything gets better for you and you make it these next 6 weeks ok  ....deathletgo  |

You'll get more use to it and doing things one handed will become easier. Do you have to wear the full cast all six weeks? I only had to wear it three or four and then they cut it down to right below my elbow and it was a lot easier to do things. Good luck.  |

everything will come much easier once you get used to it. Dont try taking showers though take a bath and put a trash bag over your arm and dangle it out of the tub. That's what I did good luck *hugs*  |

Find knitting needles. They allow you to scratch under the cast (and believe me you'll want to eventually). And whatever you do: don't get it wet! It will stick to high heaven. Don't bathe if neccessary, you'll still smell better than a wet cast!  |

I dislocated my right elbow when I was younger, I know how you feel it just takes practice using your left hand to do things that normally you'd have no trouble doing, I was still able to ride my bike with it. so it wasn't all that bad it was a good learning experience.  |
