Broken ankle

[UATLB]

for the showering aspect of it buy a box of the heavy duty trash bags and a roll of ducts tape, put it over the cast and tape it up. thats what i did worked well. only suggestions i would say is to shave the hair on his leg where the tapes gonna be lol

I'd use athletic tape not duct tape, still shave though, or not, getting "waxed" by the tape should only happen once :eek:.

We are 17 days from cruising and my husband just broke his ankle.:(:(

 

Any suggestions on how to make this trip a little easier? He is on crutches, with a cast up to his knee and cannot put any weight on his ankle.

 

Cancellation is not a option, we are cruising with my best friend and her 3 children.

 

My main concern is showering, he cannot get his cast wet and cannot put any weight on it. I have emailed special needs to see if they have a shower chair that we could use.

 

Other than that I am just STRESSED OUT!!

sorry to hear, as for the shower i would head to the gym showers alot bigger then the rooms. good luck on the bar bill:)

Hope everything works out for you and your husband!

I was in an air cast for our cruise last month ... it definitely took a lot of the wind out of our sails, so to speak. I did find a cool walking stick while we were in Mexico, that was very helpful.

 

Now I'm in a cast. :(

 

 

 

I did take the *good* drugs that I was prescribed with me, unfortunately since nausea is common side effect, mixed with a little sea sickness and it was all over for me, for a little while anyway. lol :eek::o
