Well done MdB, looking at the pictures though I think Vicky got the better deal with the broken leg.

When Mr Juju broke his leg, we borrowed a plastic seat thingy from the Red Cross that fits across the bath then you can sit in the bath and be hosed down with the shower (assuming your shower is detachable). You do still need to put a plastic bag around the plaster or leave your leg hanging out of the bath as obviously you mustn't get it wet.
By the way, has anyone told you that for some bizarre reason hair growth under plaster goes into overdrive so you'll have a very hairy leg when the plaster comes off? It's not just cos you haven't been able to shave it, it happens anywhere on the body that's been fractured and in plaster... It goes away so don't panic!

To be honest Juju, much as I love the NHS no one told me anything. Go away, put your leg up and come back in five weeks. Not a clue about what to expect or what to look out for, or whether symptoms are 'normal'. I did have a peak down the plaster and thought my leg looked hairy - I wonder why that happens. You'd think the energy would go into mending the leg not hairing it up.
Like the sound of the bath seat. Will investigate.
How are your legs today MdB after the shingle?

I'm not quite at the stage of needing to borrow your wheelchair but I do ache a bit. I'm also having to stop myself eating everything in sight. According to my phone app, I used up 2700 kcal doing the run. That may have something to do with it.vicky whitworth said:

Of course, Vicky, you know there's nothing wrong with having hairy legs... All four of mine are indeed very hairy....vicky whitworth said:

I'm hoping - or hopping - mine will come out stripy too. Is that stripy or stripey? It's been a long day. I've been rushed off my feet
