condorfan Posted March 21, 2016 #53 Share Posted March 21, 2016 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:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christyran1228 Posted March 21, 2016 #55 Share Posted March 21, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
