I had a vein rupture 2 1/2 months ago and had surgery 2 weeks ago and since the rupture 2 1/2 months ago I've had to wrap the compression wrap on my leg in plastic wrap and cover with a trash bag to keep it dry. Don't lie, I know you are laughing your asses off but it sucks :( Just thought I'd share.
Quoting MichLW69:
Wow! I laugh at a lot of inappropriate things, but never something like this. That sounds awful. How much longer do you have to do that?
Quoting WesternNYmom:I am sorry. I had to do the same thing when I broke my ankle a few years ago. I had to sit in the tub with my wrapped leg hanging over the edge so I could shower. Couldn't put any weight on my left foot, and It was to hard to try to balance on one leg for more than a few mins with that heavy cast on. What really stunk about the whole thing was that dh had to come into the bathroom after I was finished to help me out of the tub as I had trouble getting in and out by myself without putting weight on my injury. Not fun.
Quoting Aydans_Mommy:
Oh girl I completely understand how you feel. I have to put bags on my right foot to keep it dry when I shower. I had foot surgery a week ago.
Quoting mylovey:I had to do that as well when I had surgery on my foot. I only had to do if for about 2 weeks, but it was a weird experience for me, lol.
Sorry you're going through that. I went 6 months when I was 11 in a full leg cast, so I kind of feel your pain. I also just got done going through this with my seven year old son who was in a leg cast for 8 weeks.
Quoting strontium:ive had to do that multiple times. I was a hellion, and was always showering with plastic bags on SOMETHING -_-
Ive gotten more cautious in my old age LOL.
Last thing I did was seriously mess up my wrist in line skating when I was like 16/17? 3 years ago-ish?

Lol I did pretty good until I was grown and then if it could happen to me, it did :(
